Phrases people should not use in talks given to graduate students
-
"$\forall x \in { \text{graduate school, research, work}},$ Think of $x$ as a marathon instead of a sprint." -- Whoever saying this is significantly over-estimating how athletic grad students are!
-
"No free lunch" as an expression for tradeoffs in a phenomenon -- Most probably 50% of the students in your audience are there for free lunch!
