Many students ask themselves,
"which network should I join?", and they worry that they will make
the wrong choice. After all, your social network defines your career
in a profound way, and if you choose an unfriendly network then you
can make your life miserable. But this is the wrong way to think
about it. You are not choosing which network to join; rather, you
are creating a new network of your own. Your network is made out of
individuals -- the individuals whose research and outlook are related
to your own. These individuals' own networks will overlap to some
extent, but they will not be identical. Most of them will attend
several different conferences, publish in several different journals,
and so on. You should do the same. Don't spread yourself too thin
by trying to cultivate everyone who could possibly be relevant. But
don't confine yourself to existing boundaries either.
