I agree, previous comments hugely useful......
Anyway, I think that generally you have to have completed a post-doc before you can become a university lecturer. I remeber when I was doign my undergrad degree we had some lectures given by post-docs so that might be a way to get some experience?
Hi,
Don't worry, it usually takes me ages to work things like that out!
Basically, 1mM = 1mmol per litre or 0.001mmol per ml or 0.000001mmol per ul
If you then multiply by the correct factor to get to pmol (in this case 1000(to get to umol) x 1000(to get to nmol) x 1000 (to get to pmol) = 100 000 000 total)
Sooooo, 1mM = 1000pmol/ul
i think that's right!! Does it make sense???
Hi Roopa,
6 out of 7 of the PhD students in my year (first year) have worked for at least one year before they started their PhDs. I think it is better to get a bit of experience because you have more of an idea what area you want to go into and you have much more practical experience than someone who has come straight from a degree. Although if you are not too keen on the PhDs advertised at the moment in neuroscience, maybe you should consider a different area?
It really depends what you want out of your career. I am currently doing a PhD in developmental biology. There are posts available in this field which don't require a PhD-you can probably start as a lab technician who would maybe be responsible for day-to-day lab duties but also start to master some of the techniques. You would be able to work your way up the scale this way. However, if you have your sights on a very research-orientated career and maybe hope to become a team leader or go even higher, then you probably do need to do a PhD. Good luck.
