Public assumption on students are used by the Professors in research and publication

I don't mind if the assumption is made by those who never been to the university. For those who have studied in the university should understand the systems. Unless they don't focus on the systems that they were in while they were in the university. Most of the projects or research ideas are from the professors/lecturers, the students normally follow through the ideas and design the experiments or research and continue for data collection, analysis, writing the thesis or manuscript for publications after commented by the professors. Post-graduate students usually/must work independently under the supervision of lecturers/professors. Mis-conception or mis-understanding among the public need to be corrected. Unfortunately our public are not academic thinking oriented.If you go to well establish laboratories in the world, the professors are ideas generator. Postdoctoral and postgraduate students are competing to materialise professors ideas through their own research and creativity. So if the public like to joint the academician please think like them.
