This lovely piece has been circulating of late, but Sonke has been kind enough to allow the SCQ to present his "Advice for Potential Graduate Students" as a handy dandy pin-up, suitable for pinning up in some visible area of your lab.
Anyway, worth a read - as a previous grad student, and now supervisor type - the advice is pretty sound.
Go here to read the full piece in its entirety (or to download the pin-up). And/or check out Sonke's lab here.
