What happened to DJ Wickid, and what does 'Member Type: Pre-Registration' mean?

Crush on a supervisor lead to much turmoil

You started all this in your head methinks. Find a bf and stop obsessing over a taken man.

Good luck.. I'm still reading thesis and will probably seek out those 42 questions later.

Oh Cleverclogs... I don't think they're talking about you sweetie ;-)


Yeh, if they were talking about me they wouldn't have made the glaring omissions of 'intelligent, charming, and dashingly handsome' 8-)

Want to transfer my pHD IN USA

You'll need to quit your current phd, find a new one in the usa (their term starts ~september), and start from scratch.

Long distance relationships suck, especially during a phd. (down)

Hmm...

Modern art? For or against?

You may paint a picture of a castle with acrylics, and if you're really good, perhaps capture something of the life that buzzed in and around it hundreds of years ago.

Or, you could model it in 3d, put archers on the towers, sword-wielding guards at the gates, and peasants with their markets and chickens, perhaps even a well-guarded king in a regal chamber. Then make it all into a video game, and give the user a character who can walk around the place, hear the conversations and sounds, perhaps even provoke the guards and pursue the king, whose extravagant feasts have perhaps rendered not so fleet-of-foot!

I was thinking this as I played 'Assassin's Creed', and figured art today can potentially evoke so much more emotion and thought than traditional arts.

Of course I'm a biologist so probably sound like a blabbering idiot talking in an art thread! What I'm getting at though is that I'd probably come away more thrilled from E3, or the cinema, than Tate. Agree with Eska really! An appreciation for art is perhaps more vigorous today than it has ever been -- when we include cinema and video games, billboards and adverts at bus-stops etc., it seems we're often consuming and enjoying art without realizing it. The BBC for example has those short video sequences in-between programmes; right now there's one of people wearing colourful pants/shoes/stripey leggings and dancing about; they also had those people doing capoeira on a roof which looked way cool -- if this isn't art I don't know what is!

My PhD Story II - that helps you make your decision

You sound far far worse than Dave Barrett. He's not the idiot insulting people on an internet forum. I bet your poor reference was very well deserved.

If you could do anything right now...

Quote From Florence:

I would go back in time to visit some medieval people who would very kindly explain to me what the texts I am reading mean. Then I would footnote all of that in my thesis as "personal communication" and answer all my viva questions with "Yeah? I think you'll find that I actually asked him and he said I was right. Oh, and by the way, turns out King Arthur and Robin Hood were both real and as cool as the films make out - in fact, cooler."


Sounds like a most excellent adventure 8-)

Sending samples

Did it a few times with both plasmids and cells, albeit from the USA and Europe. We just used FedEx and didn't fill out any special forms -- not sure if that's always ok but worked for me.
