Also, just for the record, it is surprising how little time it takes for a
P.I. to get over the petty differences he may have had for some slight he
feels. My own adviser treated me very badly when I left his lab, and now
he is extremely cordial and supportive. It sometimes jsut takes a little
time for the heat of the moment to wear off.....
