Abstract
This talk boils down into a few slides what I've learned in my 32 years of mentoring Ph.D. students. My advice to advisors is to get your students off to a good start, create stimulating research environments, help them acquire research taste, be a good role model, bolster student confidence, teach them to speak well publicly, and help them up if they stumble, for students are the real coins of the academic realm.
This talk is based on a paper with the same title that appeared in Communications of the ACM Volume 52, Issue 3 (March 2009), pages 30-33.
