Academic physiologists are both teachers and researchers. As a teacher the physiologist has two main tasks, to teach courses and to supervise graduate student research. It is argued that these two tasks involve different pedagogic strategies and therefore should not be confounded with one another. The physiologist who acts as a teacher in a situation of research advising will be an inappropriate advisor and will provide the student with inappropriate research training. When performing the task of graduate advisor, the physiologist should maintain a liberal attitude that fosters the graduate student's research education.
