Yes! I have some research students now!! And a lab! Which I’ve mentioned before, to the three people who read this, but I like saying it.
Three are undergrads, including two who are quite new (but learning fast). Two are grad students (one of whom I’m co-advising with someone else; I think it’ll wind up being about 40% me and 60% the other prof, which is fine by me). The grad students haven’t started doing any lab work just yet; that’ll start next semester.
It’s interesting to try to figure out how to plan things out when it’s not just me – I have to anticipate (guess, really) what might be possible for them, not just what’s possible in general.
