What Not to do in Graduate School

See this article in Nature for advice on what not to do in graduate school. It actually kind of surprises me how appropriate advice meant for hard scientists (the ones that do their work in a lab) is for social scientists doing data work with Stata!

Some of my favorite big lessons (in no particular order): 
1. More work is NOT always better
2. Don't always trust your data----if it's saying something that seems too good to be true, it may very well be too good to be true.
