As theriogentology is a fairly specialised subject it would probably best to approach the vet schools direct.. In the UK there are vet schools in London (www.rvc.ac.uk). Glasgow (www.gla.ac.uk), Edinburgh (www.ed.ac.uk), Liverpool (www.liv.ac.uk), Bristol (www.bris.ac.uk), Cambridge (www.cam.ac.uk) and Nottingham (www.nottingham.ac.uk).

I know that the RVC has a reproduction research group headed by a Professor Claire Wathes.

Hope this helps

I get paid quarterly from the BBSRC and monthly from the CASE partner

I had to do a first year report which was about 11,000 words long and was a lit review, results to date and future plans..

I guess that parts of it will be used in my thesis along the way :o)

The members of this forum are mainly students and so no one is going to be able to offer you a PhD position.. You should approach universities direct for opportunities.

I think you are doing the right thing.. A Masters isnt essential for doing a science based PhD but experience is.. It will be good to spend time working in a lab to get a taste for research and life locked in a lab lol.. What field you gonna be working in?

The greek for drink is poto and the Romans used potare meaning to drink (or drink heavily).. hence we get potable water.. This led on to give potus meaning 'a drink or a draught' from which we get the english word 'pot' and so the Irish Poteen probably has this origin

I think you will struggle to get hold of that.. What on earth do you need it for? Its not a commonly used drug anymore because of its negative effects on the body.

I have seen rip-offs of these shoes called Geckos.. craziness.

I hadn't done any major research either, just my BSc dissertation.. one of the purposes of a PhD is to learn about doing research and increase your skills.. so you can put down that one of the reseasons you want to do a PhD is to gain the skills and experience to enter the world of research.

Dear Friend,

If you look at 'Findaphd.com' there will be funding opportunities there although most are for UK or EU nationals..

Yeah def go for a suit..

lol good to see where your priorities lie

Technically you can hook with whoever you like.. just depends if you can deal with the potential awkwardness of the 'i've seen you naked' moments... Universities are big places so I am sure there will be lots of opportunities to hook up with people if thats the main thing you are after.. Also doing a PhD doesn't mean you have to completely cut yourself off from the outside world so there are pubs and clubs.

Don't worry too much.. I was working for 2 years before coming back to uni to do a phd.. I just read round the subject and made sure I was still familiar with the basics

Anahera?
