**Setting**
I am a graduate student in a quant/informatics group (size = 2 people: my advisor and I) housed within a larger academic group that do wet laboratory/bench research. I have my own project independent of those in the larger bench research group.

**Problem**
We often get requests from the bench researchers for some data analysis. My advisor has been passing all these ad hoc requests to me and I do duly comply.

**Anticipated consequence**
If the current pace of requests continues, I think that my PhD project will suffer.

What actions should I take and why?
