Jan 30, 2016 at 19:57 comment added Jolo I admire JeffE's principles, and I know I come across as harsh. I value my mentorship relationships greatly, it is in fact the main reason I'm in academia, and it is the only reason I posted the above opinion - for the protection of the student. The PhD program isn't a continuation of undergrad, when taking "electives" and extracurriculars were encouraged. IMHO when one reaches the PhD level, it is time to focus and devote all academic energy to that degree. At the least, before conducting a major side project, run it by your advisor to get his blessings. After all, you do value his advice?
