The truth was that Student X had known the PI for the longest, and they already had a warmly friendly and productive relationship by the time everyone else met the PI and got to know them. It's easy for time offset to look like favouritism. | |

And honestly, even if the PI had a favourite student, and lavished them with attention, so what? PIs are only human, and as long as you are getting what you need from them, there's no harm done. | |
