Hi,

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone might be so kind to see if they have access to the following article (my institutional access will not allow me to view it):

Thanks in advance!!

PHD extension or quit?
M

All of the advice given here is excellent. I also went to the wire on the submission with both supervisors commenting that I had masses of data I just needed to be more picky about what I was putting in. The deadline for September is achievable providing you have good data (and it seems like you do from what you are saying). I worked literally every hour god sent and had to complete the write-up while also being employed full time as a postdoc for the last 3 months.

I had the same sort of turn around as you and managed it. Someone said to me once that writing-up is, by every definition "a selfish process". You have to shut out every distraction and the way I got round it was to write up in my office. Either way you need a quiet, silent place to write - that is crucial! I used to work from about 9.30pm to ~1.30 - 2am every night without fail (apart from Saturday night and Sunday only) over the last 3 months and basically anytime in-between that was free. In the early days I did have all of the day time as well but my advice would be to work hard in the beginning as well as at the end, as hard as that is!

I cannot stress anymore that if you want this you will get it like so many posting here have said. I actually feel like a changed person for all the right reasons having submitted and now working towards my viva (and trust me, I'm not the fate-loving type). A PhD is a real feat of human performance and I respect everyone who tackles them!! Maintaining contact with your supervisor as you said will be more important than ever now. I agreed deadlines with my supervisor and submitted work as close as absolutely possible to the deadlines set and that really drived me in the right direction.

Finally don't worry about everyone around you! In the end I found that most of them were under the same if not worse pressure; you just have to focus on what you are doing! All the best of luck and keeping going ice you're almost there now!

What do you do with printed out research papers after PhD?
M

Hey,

Your supervisors may find these papers very useful for new and existing members of their research group. My research group has filing cabinets full of papers organised into respective research students from past projects. I would ask your supervisors if they want them, however I would only do this if they were organised in the first place as you don't want to spend the next few weeks sorting them out!! From what you have said they are already organised though so kudos there!

Paper scrounge
M

Hi, sorry to be on the scrounge but my uni's Athens "access" is refusing to give me access to the following paper and I would be eternally grateful if anyone could access a copy for me:

BUZZELL, G. R. 1975. DOUBLE-EMBEDDING TECHNIQUES FOR LIGHT MICROSCOPE HISTOLOGY. Stain Technology, 50, 285-287.

I did find a database where it could be accessed from if this helps (I can't access it from here): http://informahealthcare.com/doi/abs/10.3109/10520297509117072

Thanks!!
