Consider Collaboration
summary
Argues that collaboration multiplies research output and effectiveness, citing one adviser’s record of 113 coauthored papers, four books and at least 60 collaborators versus two solo works; shows concrete practices that start and sustain projects: attach code and annotated feedback, CC supervisors for legitimacy, ask for specific answers, and schedule regular meetings with SMART goals and delegated owners. Gives concrete conflict and culture fixes—timezones on calendars, in‑person visits, and bringing a trusted co‑collaborator when power dynamics risk abuse.
