Does anyone have this please?
Thank you! :)))

Conference presentations are good to have on your CV, but publications are what really count! (especially if you're first author).

Hi Emily, like Ultra, I'm a gay man too, and I think that maybe the questions should not be gender specific....however that would be difficult given the nature of many of them, so I didn't complete it. I also found some of the questions a bit disturbing to be honest :0.

Hi everyone :) Thanks for your replies, it's been really useful and reassuring to hear them! I seem to have gotten over my slump and it's full steam ahead again - who knows how long for!

My funding runs out in October and I honestly feel more overwhelmed than ever. No way am I going to finish within the 3 years (more like 4). I've responded to this by feeling depressed and doing absolutely nothing - makes no sense I know, but the more I need to do the less I actually do. Could do with hearing some positive stories from fellow posters who are/were at this stage and came through it all!

Thanks :)

Ok this sounds completely unacceptable. Do you have your University handbook to hand? When you start all PhD students should be given written confirmation of what they can expect to occur and written proof of this should be happening regularly (i.e. meetings with supervisors should be written up and documented). If you haven't been given the support you are entitled to then you have every right to complain - it won't look bad on you but it will look bad on your supervisor if it shows they haven't been doing what they are supposed to do. Do you have a secondary supervisor at all? Having more than one supervisor is supposed to stop things like this happening.

I feel bad for you :( I really hope things can get sorted out because you are quite far into the process now.

Thanks for posting haventgotaclue and big congrats!! :D Really needed to hear this today lol :)

If it was submitted to a peer reviewed journal, the corrected revisions are sent back to the original reviewers so they can take another look. Nothing to worry about, just standard practice.

It's the same here - you get some people who are faster at replying than others. My primary supervisor responds 99% of the time the same day I sent the email.

Re. the original post. I'm sorry caltech28, but your supervisor has every right to be angry. Yes I agree he should have been quicker to reply, but his name will be on the article(s) so his reputation is at stake. Personally I wouldn't proceed with publications and wait for your supervisor to respond and then resubmit them. If someone submitted an article with my name on and I hadn't had chance to read and give feedback I would demand they take it down. Sorry.

Congrats on passing and I look forward to reading the blog! :)

If you want to study in mainland Europe (as opposed to the UK), then an MSc is essential I think. There are combined MSc/PhD (1 +3) in the UK, as I was going to apply for one but did my MSc separately in the end....as for France and Canada I'm not too sure. Maybe an MSc first and then apply separately for PhD is best in this case?

Thanks HazyJane, will do :)

Are we allowed to present already published material at conferences? Sorry if this sounds like a really stupid question! lol :)

Thank you! :D

If anyone has access to the journal of aging & mental health please could you help by sending me PM with a pdf of this article please ---> http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13607869856669#.Uu6nB7Q4JtU

Really need this and don't really want to pay! Thanks in advance! :))))
