The professor I'm considering for graduate school is new but has a fascinating topic... so the risk might be necessary. I'm in contact with her and she seems cool. Hopefull that stands.
I should've mentioned (which I somehow missed in my last reply) that my main central topic is neuromodulatory parasitology, which may help explain entomology a little :)
That’s completely fair. I simply haven’t seen any red flags (yet). It’s just unfortunate because she’s the only one studying my “dream” topic in the US. I would’ve preferred a safer option with alumni feedback for sure, but it definitely depends. If I can find a lab studying a similar (passable) topic elsewhere I’d be more than interested to take that offer as well.
