Hi again,
My university only has a licence for RefWorks but I don't like it. I have Endnote at home and like it. I want something similar which has a write and site function in word. Does anyone know of a good free one that I can put onto my work computer?
Thanks,
Superman
Hi there,
I use Image J to quantify western blots. It is very easy to use once you know how. I don't have much time to explain now but if you have msn messenger or pm me an email addresss I can forward some instructions on how to use it. I have a spreadsheet with some old data in which you might find useful. It shows all the steps of how to make it into a graph.

My partner and I moved away from home together and she is working while I study. We get on great living together. The great thing is she has applied to do a 2 year nursing diploma (for people who already have degrees) so we will be able to go anywhere after I finish the PhD. Australia... surfing...beaches...mmm can't wait!
At my old uni if you got 69.5 or above that would be rounded up to 70% and you would get a first. At the uni I am at now they have a completely different system and I think you would have to get above 70. It will depend upon your university.
What did your supervisor say? Did he say you got distinction?
You could always try to appeal if it matters to you and get your dissertation mark put up by 1%? They may consider it in your case.
Hiya,
I usually work from 8.30am until 6pm 5 days a week. Sometimes I stay until 7 but no later. I occasionally go in on weekends but only if I have something I really need to do. 80% of that time is in the lab. I think if you are organised and plan your time accordingly you can be very productive and have shorter days. You need time off to relax and if you don't have that then I think the work you do can be hindered. So yes it is feasable to get finished with 40-45 hours per week.
I got a Nerf gun. It's all about the Nerf! I really wanted a clipboard so that I can read and highlight papers in bed. I asked for it especially but it got forgotten! :(
Last year I got A Brief History of Time. Was awsome read actually. Im a massive gaming geek but didn't get the new call of duty modern warfare 2 either. What a let down.
Hiya,
I was awarded a BBSRC studentship last year and the competition was tough. I feel really lucky to have got it. The interview went so well as I was very prepared and had had other previous interviews shortly before that didn't go so well. I had the same qualifications as you with a 2(i) and a masters so I think you will look good on paper. Just prepare thoroughly for the interview and have some mock ones before hand.
I applied to a lot of PhD's but I am interested in a lot of areas. I wouldn't apply to ones that don't interest you but it would be good to have some back ups. A good idea might be to contact PI's in the area that you do enjoy. Just send them an email saying that you are enthusiastic and passionate about your science interests and ask if they have any projects available or if they know anyone who might. I sent a lot round and I got a lot of good responses. I got selected to be put forward for a studentship at Cambridge but it was my first interview and it went rubbish so didn't get it.
So yea, my advice is keep your options open!
Good luck.
