No, not scrutinise. But you'd think they could easily flag up visits to well known sites movie streaming sites and map them onto usernames. I guess they just aren't bothered or they'd have blocked 'em anyway.

Thanks Mr Fox. I just felt a bit daunted suddenly. I want to go to the lab cos I love the work that is done there - that is basically it! But I will elaborate on my application and jazz it up a bit.

I stream whole movies at uni and haven't been caught yet! But... there is certainly a risk! Private PCs for this sorta thing I think!

Is it the dark web?! I've heard of that but no clue what it is! Just noticed there was not hppt://!

Can we get into trouble? D:

Crikey! My one insignificant paper is on there!

I've just re-read your post Tree of Life. You reckon more than a month is more worthwhile for a lab visit to the States?

Thank you for the helpful (as always) response. I am applying for a grant but it will be toward the end of my PhD (if it all goes through) so I will have to say it'll be useful experience for my future / postdoc activities. The grant doesn't specify that it needs to be directly relevant to current work - says it can be for future research - so hopefully it'll be accepted.

Awesome - thanks SO much everyone. Thanks for the detail ToL - I was part way through ascertaining this information by trawling through horribly designed websites, but hadn't encountered the idea of/thought about going as a tourist. Cheers!

Hello

Does anyone know how long on average it takes to get a visa to travel to the US from the UK? Not to study for a whole semester but just to visit a lab for a month. I am really struggling to find this info online and thought someone here may have done it and so may know how long it takes/how easy or difficult it is to obtain.

Cheers

Hello all

Has anyone here done an overseas lab visit (or one in your own country perhaps)?

I know I want to visit a certain lab because I love the work that is done there and think it will help my career prospects. But beyond that - what specific things should I be aiming for on a lab visit? I am still in the early stages of contacting the lab etc. But I think I am going to need to say more than I love your work... What can I get out of it? Or should I be thinking what can offer them?

How does this lab visit stuff work?

Thanks
Tudor

Tried but not joy ) :

I see! ! !
