I would argue with the supposition that you cannot design your own project. Within the confines of my PI’s overarching interests in certain proteins, I designed my own project involving these proteins. I check in once a week and he gives me a little guidance, but for the most part I’m on my own. And, I do get to operate the equipment i need including a TEM, x-ray diffractor, and various other machines.
