Preparation for starting a PhD

R

Hey guys, I am delighted to have secured a PhD in which I will be starting in September.


What I want to know is if there are any tips for preparing for a PhD I can do this Summer?

Cheers

Take the summer off to relax!! It will be the last one for a loooonnnggg while...

But if you insist on preparing, do some reading around the subject, make sure you know the basics as well as the latest research, check out current lab members and what they are up to, think about what you will need to do for your research so you have a few ideas about it if anyone asks.

Hah I've been unemployed since October, so I am sick of relaxing! But I will try and take advantage.

Excellent ideas thanks :)
