"Hi Eric,

"I hope all is going well.

"Dr. Rindler told me many good things about your performance in his course.

"I would like to invite you to come to UTD and may be give a talk to the cosmology & relativity group about what you worked on here at UTD or perhaps some other topic you recently learned/read about.

"Let me know, and I can arrange for your travel and lodging in Dallas.

"Dr. I____"

Er, huh. That's neat. Flattering, but... my research last year was way too sketchy to be presentable. I'm not taking him up on the offer.

Maybe such invitations are common for graduate students. Even so, it's a nice salve for my recent self-doubt.

I hear you on that... can be bad when you're also very self critical and people can be to varying degrees... I know I can be... >.< But I say if your professor says something you should look into it though... don't let your doubt keep you from at least seeing what they have to say.
