My confusion

My major is genetic crop breeding which is unpopular with students and employers in China and my university is not a national key university. In view of this, I must make more effort to gain success in comparison with others. However, I do not know how to do it. My supervisor does not give me any research projects, but my counterparts have done them. The gap between me and others has been widening.

Hello,

It is a pity that this is not so popular because I suspect that this is the way of the future, making disease and drought resistant crops to feed all the people in the world. Have you asked your supervisor for some suggestions as to projects or even where to look for ideas? That would be my first choice, secondly look at any local problems with crops, are you able to think of any ways in which these problems could be overcome?

All the best

Bob
