Advice from Madison
"Do not be afraid to ask questions, even the dumb ones. Most everyone in research starts full of curiosity but without the expertise to find solutions. If you happen to ask a question that you can't answer, ask someone more experienced. If you can't find an answer from anyone, well there's your PhD project."
