hm... honestly? I have exhausted my friends and my family are not exactly close by. I am currently not exactly a student at my university so I can't join societies. I would ideally like the group to be more about motivation than just social activities, and I think PhD students at their write up...

Hi ZapperZ! Yes, you read it correct! I just feel like I could do with some support, but I'm not sure exactly what would make me feel the most supported, and I don't know what other people might want to do... I have some ideas: meet for coffee, write together, do social activities to take...

I was wondering if anyone knows a good PhD thesis writing support group, either online or in London? I couldn't find any and I wanted to set up a meet up group... but I'm not sure what we would actually do to support each other... and when I finish in a few months, what then? Also I'm afraid...

Today I learned that the red fox habitat is expanding into the arctic fox habitat and the red fox will eat the smaller arctic fox... :S

this is a different guy! I chose him because he seemed to know what he is doing. I do think his project would be very productive and fulfill all the criteria for a PhD and I do trust his judgement. but... I just want the feeling of doing something that is all me - that I decided that I will take...

I am just starting my phd. I am self funded so I chose my supervisor. He's working on a related area to what I want but not quite the same. I am trying to decide my phd direction right now. I want to work on something very new, very fundamental, probably unrealistic for a phd. But I want to try...

Thanks for trying to help :) I think I will never really understand... but its ok. its like knowing to use the tv without understanding how it works...

hm, interesting, I vaguely remember sines and cosines from school... how does it do this? did not understand the Boltzmann explanation at all...

yes, this is what I need to know - conversion of a signal into some kind of graph. what are the important aspects of this?

I have tried wikipedia, it was confusing and complicated! But I'll try to read it again. I just need a basic understanding of what they are and what they do.

Hello, Please could someone explain to me about Boltzmann distribution and Fourier transformation? or point me in the direction of some really really easy-to-understand guide? I need to understand it for biology - to understand NMR and mass spectrometry. Thanks.

:) yeah! We have a lot to contribute as well! I need to remind my supervisor of this! I think women are generally less confident than men and don't take credit for their own work - I myself am like this. It is something I need to work on. If I don't tell people, how will they know? I agree...

I study biology, and I have observed that in undergraduate and postgraduate classes the majority of students are female. However, in senior positions from post-doc to professors, there is a strong bias towards males. What could be causing these patterns? How can a woman increase her chances...

From my own experience, when I am with someone, and something goes wrong in my career, I have the tendency to blame it on their presence in my life. but I don't think its their fault, I think without them I would have behaved in a similar way. If I am more productive when I am not in a...
