JUST REALIZED THIS MORNING I have to give an invited lecture this afternoon for 2nd year PhDs on how to come up with research ideas, write papers, etc.

Guideline: “What would I have wanted to know when starting?”

Note: I usually work best at the last moment, T - ϵ, but I’m not going to recommend that!

Um, any... ideas?

Fantastic set of ideas, gave me lots to think about. Thanks to all!
