slight grammar edit (was using the word "borrow" like "loan")

Your project, even if leading to a nice article, probably does not contribute strongly to their own dissertations.(...) Your reputation is probably not yet strong enough to be a good experience just for name recognition and letter purposes alone. " This is exactly what I need to keep in mind when I approach people, so thank you for that. | |
