Do you have an Email I can send something to you re the Sc?

About Scandium Nitride (ScN) in semiconductor applications

Scandium is a d - metal, so I will have to check the nitride. That is 3- and therefore the Scandium must be in a +3 oxidation state. I'll have to go through CFSE to get the colour right of the metal.

Another rejection...how many did you guys get?

That'd be me Edwardian. I am a chemist, so prepare for lots of techno stuff.

Quote From wowzers:
It sounds like you are doing the right things just providence hasn't been on your side so it's just a case of keep trying. I too was lucky applied to two got two. But I had been unlucky moving up the career ladder prior to PhD so I do believe good things come to those that wait. :)


I am unlucky on the career ladder too.

Speculative PhD letter, any good?

I have the link bookmarked or "stash" and I wish I could right as well as that. I have to entail people for spelling etc. Thanks for the sample as well as the link :)

University giving help with proofreading and software I have which speaks it back to you. It is more the writing which is where it will strike.

That is where the dyspraxia takes its strongest effect in the sentence construction.

Learning, thought and memory:
Difficulty in planning and organising thought
Poor memory, especially short-term memory. May forget and lose things
Unfocused and erratic. Can be messy and cluttered
Poor sequencing causes problems with maths, reading and spelling and writing reports at work
Accuracy problems. Difficulty with copying sounds, writing, movements, proofreading
Difficulty in following instructions, especially more than one at a time
Difficulty with concentration. May be easily distracted
May do only one thing at a time properly, though may try to do many things at once
Slow to finish a task. May daydream and wander about aimlessly
Taken from:


I may as well shoot myself now in that case :(

I was enquiring to whether there was the possibility of gaining a funded studentship with the group for an international student.

My own research, although in a different type of receptors, Cannabinoids compared to muscaranic receptors. My project title was, “Allosteric Modulation of the hCB1 Receptor”. I was doing the research under Dr xx xx,

I feel that working in your department would be fascinating as I do keep up to date with the research from your group and am I am a biological chemist, this is right in my field of interest. Why I have not gone down the cannabinoid route, the groups doing research which closely matched my PGCert project which I then used as credit transfer for the masters.

Working in the group would be a chance too good to miss with someone whose research I follow a lot.

I have updated my CVs to include project titles as well, which weren't there before.

Quote From littleowl:
I was lucky enough to get the first one I applied for, because it was a funded scholarship and happened to be a perfect fit for my skillset and research interests. The more time that passes, the more I realise how extraordinarily fortunate I was - I applied halfway through my Masters year and as I didn't get a Distinction for my MA or even a first for my BA, I don't think I would have been accepted to do a PhD any other way. I wouldn't say it was a fluke, but it was definitely a rare case of 'right job, right person, right time'.


*sobs* I wish I had luck like that!

Mention any programs you have used in your research as different universities use different software. In regards to the qualification mark cited do you have to include your CV, if it is not on there with the mark if you so liked.

Some good wishes needed

Been there done that, but my complaint was not taken further. I had to deal with a covert narcissist. Now you may understand why I am struggling so bad to get anything. Just beware of the consequences and just beware that it may backfire on you and you then get commented on for being the bully!

I am struggling to get a PhD and I have a masters from the Open University as well.

Applied for 10, got 1 in my first round of apps. The plan was to keep moving down the league tables till someone bit :P
Thanks for the tip! Now going down the unis! Got some stuff for NTU as well!
