Hi there.
So I began working in an Autism research lab this January. I applied for a summer research grant, which required collaboration with my PI. Then I asked her to mentor me for my senior thesis, which she happily did, helping me with my proposal and such. Now I really want to apply for a Fulbright for the 2019-2020 school year, and since I’m proposing research at another Autism research group, it would be foolish of me to not ask for her recommendation. But will she really want to write a recommendation for me when I haven’t even known her for a year or finished my thesis? Will she be annoyed by me and how I constantly need her attention? Can any PIs share their two cents?
Thanks!
