What individual projects or places?

Oooops i didn't mean to spill the beans. This is strictly confidential.

Anyone else had problems?

Thanks for that Richmond. I can see the problem about why delays are to be expected. Maybe I am being a bit harsh, but I did email the supervisor twice to see what was happening.

No, I think they are scented!

52 days!!!!!
I had more than one interview for the same place. The other supervisors got back to me within 3 weeks!. If that was my last chance of getting on a PhD for this year I would be gutted. When you are waiting for a response for so long it is not very nice.

A reserve, how rude is that.

Yes I agree. If I hadn't secured another PhD I would be up (X) creek with out a paddle.

It may be advantageous if they can not see you!

I have just had a PhD refusal. I went for the interview in July and it has taken 52 days for a response!!!(no word of a lie). I emailed the supervisor countless times but to no response. What is even ruder is that the final email was from the secretary! Luckily I had already accepted another PhD. I wish that people would exercise some common courtesy.

Daniel! yes we should keep him we need someone to stir things up a little. This must be his (new) plan c.

I agree with H. If all else fails you could do it manually...can clustalx be used? You can download that for free.

My spelling is getting worse

It will be tough getting a placement for just 4-5 months. Maybe you should see if you can do agency work?. Could you do a placment at Uni and get paid?

Yes 99 there were 99 red balloons, but more importantly why are there 10 angry african women in a caravan?

Most be the new batch of Mooncups
