I would love to be able to reply to all the emails regarding joining my research lab, but unfortunately, my time is very limited and that means I may not be able to get back to you, which is my loss. If you send me an email and do not hear back from me, please be assured that this does not say anything about your strengths and your merits and it only reflects my limited bandwidth. If you are a student at Duke University, you can always stop by my office.
