Attachment: FW_An appointment
Dear Yan Jun
I understand
that you have a different perspective on your own performance which is
evidently different from mine. My appraisal
of everyone's performance is based on how much we are able to achieve
with our experiments that lead us to defined conclusions and publishable data
in a reasonable period of time. Based on this analysis, I think that I would
unfortunately have to conclude that I am unable to derive anything meaningful
from any of your experiments in more than a year in my lab. In my assessment your
progress was not adequate and the primary reason to have your contract lapse.
Since you have been in my lab for over one year, I think another discussion
about your performance is not going to alter my decision.
I hope that you
will understand and wish you all the best in your career.
Regards
Reshma
