Message for prospective interns/graduate students/postdoctoral fellows

• Like many others, I receive hundreds of inquiries every semester from prospective interns, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows. It is in general not possible for me to read through the CV and/or reply to such messages because of their sheer volume. If you send me such a message, please do not be offended if I do not reply.
