Hello!

I was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice...
I am half way through my PhD in the UK and have been offered the chance to do a 3 month internship in an organisation working in an area directly related to my PhD, so I am very keen to do it.
However, I have not told my supervisors yet (as I thought I had no chance of getting the internship) and I am not sure how they will react. Is taking time out from your PhD viewed in a positive or negative way by 1) supervisors 2) by your funding body and 3) by future employers when applying for post docs.
Has anyone here done anything similar during their PhD and if so, how did people react to it? Any advice here would be really appreciated, especially as I have not got long to make a decision!

Many thanks
Anna
