For everyone who is currently in a graduate program or who has finished their Ph.D., what would you say is more important when choosing a lab:
-research interest fit: the lab is using the techniques you want, or at least they are available, and is working in the population(s) you are interested in
-personality/"feel" fit: you get along with the mentor, the other students in the lab, and feel generally positive about the lab even if the research may not be able to satisfy your interests, or is not using techniques you are interested in
Which would you all choose, and why?
