I think you could get PhD funding without doing the MRes, since you already have done 2 masters. The publication is a very strong point, especially if it is in a quite well respected journal in your field.
I am not sure about the university reputation question. I'm sure someone else here will be able to give some insight to that.
Thanks Hugh.
Even with staff on board as Surestart centres I have had a very limited response. The door to door things sounds promising. I could at least put leaflets through doors rather than just leaving them in public spaces and getting no response. I wonder if the ethics dept will approve though... I think I'm going to try as it is getting desperate!
Hello all
Does anyone have advice/suggestions on good places to recruit parents who haven't got degrees? My current sample is not representative because nearly all the participants have been to university. I've been going to schools (I'm recruiting parents with young children) in a variety of socioeconomic areas, but it seems the only interest is coming from those with a degree level education - even in areas of deprivation.
I welcome any suggestions/advice about locations, or other strategies you might have used (posters aren't always that effective it seems)...
Thanks so much.
I agree with TreeofLife. Just go for it.
Probably a good idea. I just didn't have time as I needed to print the thing.
I squeezed two on... sort of wished I hadn't lol as it looks a bit tatty (simply because you can tell I forgot and then added them). But then again, it adds to the overall tattiness of it : D
Cheers all!
Hello all
Would you list references on a poster about a research study that is for a non-academic audience? Opinion or informed advice welcome.
Cheers

But I mean are they equal among themselves - like if you become a prof are you then instantly on the same level so as to speak and can throw your weight around with the other profs, or are there sort of sublevels within each level! Slightly complicated and largely pointless question! Just wondering!
Please do - it'll be useful to know.
Haha may their data be normally distributed!
Someone got a promotion, is now a prof, and is acting so different all of the sudden, even being a bit arrogant to the other profs - maybe to show that he is one of them now - I don't know. I find it quite interesting to observe!
To clarify... I mean for example within a department or research lab.
Just wondered... are people on each level of the academic hierarchy (e.g., lecturer, senior lecturer, professor) considered "equal" with those on the SAME level. For example, a newly appointed professor vs a bunch of more experienced professors, a new PhD vs... etc?
I'm not really into hierarchy by the way. But since it exists, I'm just curious about how it works in academia.
I need to use a mouse too. I always have a cordless mouse and keyboard plugged into my laptop (unless I'm on the go). I think the wristpad mouse mat will help if it is a support issue. Good luck!
Thanks pf329. I think there may be an APA rule though about it being an assumption that it is a first edition when no edition number is stated. I can't find it though so may have been dreaming.
