How do you guys even approach Professors to complete your thesis under, without the fear of them rejecting but later on posing your idea as their own
Hi. I'm a student of economics, and intend to cold email professors throughout the globe in my area of interest. However I can't stop this naghing thought about having that one long conversation discussing what my thesis is about but then they call your work implausible and then finding out later on that he/she basically published what you'd proposed.
It's happened to people before, professors from reputed institutions have done it.
How did you guys go about it?
P.s I know this is very naive
