Oh man. Graduate school. Eek.
Fear not: ScienceBlogger SciCurious of blog Neurotopia just wrote an advice post on what to look for in graduate schools! This is absolutely priceless insider's info. Although SciCurious seems to be working on the more neurobio side of things (Physiology Ph.D.), and the article talks about biomedical students, the advice is pretty field-neutral so anyone would likely find it useful. It's probably most relevant to CogSci people interested in fields that are mainly lab work, like neuroscience, artificial intelligence, linguistics, and psychology. Also, she explicitly mentions neuroscience programs, so this is almost custom-made for these folks. Definitely worth a look from all CogSci people who may apply to a lab for grad school.
Here's the article link: Ask SciCurious: So you want to be a biomedical grad student...
