Miwa Lab encourages students to co-author papers with their faculty supervisor (Plan 1, e.g., https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10926488.2021.1941971?journalCode=hmet20). Alternatively, a student can write a paper alone, but in that case, the amount of support from the faculty advisor will be less (Plan 2). Which plan do you prefer? *
