Hey everyone!
I'm starting to ask for letters of recommendation for next cycle (I know, early, but I'm graduating in December) and am stumped on what to do with one professor. I want my bio professor whom I've taken two classes with to write one of my science LORs. The thing is, he's also my PI since I work in his lab, but I work more closely with one of his post docs. I feel like a letter from the post doc would be stronger, but once again, this is for my science LOR. So would it be best to still have my professor-PI write my science LOR and ask the post doc to write me a separate research letter? To make things more complicated, my professor and post doc co-taught one of the classes I took...so does the post doc then count as science faculty? Help
Thanks!
