After our first zoom meeting, my potential supervisor asked me to prepare a powerpoint presentation about my thesis or any research I've done (it doesn't matter if it's not related to her research area), and present it in another zoom meeting to the rest of the lab members. She said it will also be an opportunity to meet them and ask them questions about the lab environment? She says she wants to see how i communicate about research. I found this request weird. I'll still do it of course. But I'm afraid because of our first zoom meeting, even though the current went well between us, I feel likeI wasn't able to talk about my research project as well as I'd have liked to due to stress and some language issue, so she may have regretted answering my email in the first place, and now doesn't have the heart to just reject me. Am I overthinking it? She said that with the next meeting she'll be able to make the decision.
