Question

what have you put into place to ensure that your projects will "live on" after you are gone?

Answer 1

Projects that live on are the one that stands out in the crowd. Thousand of researchers do thousands of project works but not everyone's work is remembered. The projects that are remembered throughout are those which have helped the society in some way.

The first and most important aspect of the project work is to find a right supervisor. A supervisor who is patient, knows your shortcomings and motivates you even when thing are not talking in place makes the journey more easy. While making a project one thing to keep in mind is " No question is stupid ". Never ever feel shy and ask whenever you are confused until your concepts are clear. Other important thing is to select a right topic and keep the plan realistic i.e even of a interesting and exciting topic is selected it won't fall in place till the plan execution is right. Always select such a topic which one can easily afford in terms of time and money. Last but not least never leave writing stage till last. Start it from day one.

There are some general rules and regulation of a project but one can sometimes alter accordingly.
