Valentine Perils in Research: Principal Investigator Advisor newsletter spo=
tlights pitfalls of Scientist-Assistant Love Matches

Naples, FL -February 11, 2010. Principal Investigators in hot pursuit of a =
research breakthrough often find themselves working late into the night and=
 on weekends. Helping them in these extended sessions in the almost-deserte=
d research building is their graduate or postdoctoral student. With obvious=
 respect for each other's intellect, and no other staff to disturb their co=
nversation, the scene can be set for Cupid's arrow to strike.=20
=20
Even if each party is single, and the developing sparks are mutually agreea=
ble, the "lovers on the brink" should remind themselves of certain possible=
 complications if they establish a romantic relationship. Principal Investi=
gator Advisor addresses important measures researchers can adhere to in ord=
er to not damage their career or lab environment in the March issue article=
 "Lab Romance Requires Careful Attention to Workplace Dynamics, Myriad Rule=
s and Regulations". Some topics addressed are how to handling the following:

=B7Favoritism: The favored graduate student gets privileges and preferentia=
l treatment not available to other students
=B7Vindictiveness: If in a few months the relationship goes sour, the party=
 feeling victimized may seek revenge in one way or another. The professor c=
ould downgrade the student's theses; the student could file a sexual harass=
ment charge.
=B7Policy Violations: Many universities and learned societies have regulati=
ons or ethical codes which forbid, or at least discount, romantic relations=
 between PIs and their students.

Other practical topics in the March issue include: mistakes PIs make that i=
rritates reviewers, what PIs should say when firing an assistant, spotting =
and dealing with burnout, dangers posed by careless emails or Facebook post=
s about your research which could jeopardize its patentability later, dange=
r signs of potential workplace violence, how to choose a co-investigator, p=
lus more.
