I don't wanna rock.... dj

Science is weird. I knew I should have gone and been a translator.

Depends what you want to do afterwards really. If you want to go into biotech or statistical computing stuff, bioinformatics is good. Applied mathematics is good if you want to do, say, industrial applications.

It's also partially insulting to those of us who took it upon ourselves to the right thing. Which, I must point out, is exactly what has been said time and time again on here. If they bothered to read what was written instead of starting another pointless 'I want, I want' thread then maybe we'd show some more respect. Rant over.

Even giving them a step by step guide will not help them either.

I suggest you try to find a project in the field that you think is your strongest subject and the one which interests you the most. Good luck.

Yeah, it's quite rare to publish doing your masters. Although, having said that, it depends on your area. To publish in mathematics, my area, you'd have to be an evil genius. Okay, not necessarily evil. But fear not Sam, go out and apply !

Go .go ..go... be off with you.

Why are you even asking?

7 weeks is nothing in the grand scheme of things and think about what you will gain and how good it will look on your CV

Congratulations on getting this wonderful opportunity. Well done.

Who on Earth uses Access for storing references? Ah yes, Reenyroo. Silly!

hiii,
I am a student of 5 year masters integrated course in Mathematics and Computing from IIT Delhi,INdia.I am confused whether to do phd in bioinformatics of applied mathematics.Which one has more scholarships and better jobs.Also I need to know some good institutes where I can apply?
Thanks

Yes, I agree with your comment, however, when you specifically target people and use deragatory terms to mock them, it will get them nowhere.

Although few will have published before starting a PhD, it is rare. An MSc is generally a taught degree, which has varying amounts of research involved, and so publications are not expected. Just having one publication will look brilliant for when you apply, but having relevent exoerience will also look good, so don't worry about it.

I agree with DanB, these people are quite annoying, so they don't really deserve to be helped as much as they expect. When I looked at doing a PhD, I read all the info on this site, looked at university websites, enquired to prospective supervisors, spoke to my careers advisor. The list goes on. So why on earth can't these people do the same. Merely saying that they want to do a PhD will get nothing

Squash maybe? Friend of mine uses it in wonderful non-cheese cheese-cake-like thingy...

There are many threads from people saying 'I want to do this' and 'I want to do that'. Suggestions have been posted before but they don't clearly read any of these. We've all had to go out and fight hard to get our PhD places and I have little time for people who expect it on a plate.
