Well...you are cordially invited to my house for billy style fajitahs! I make two...one with beef steak, and lots of onion, and peppers and a salsa made with radishes and toms. Or turkey fajitahs with spring onions and red pepper and lots of spices this one is served with mango chutney. All served with wraps, avacado, lettace and sour cream! Not true mexican but damn tasty!

Although...might have a logistical problem as i know you are up in the north and i am down south!

Thanks guys !!

Sometimes it's hard for her to make a decision as changing to a new work environment could be worse than what she gets now. Do you guys think it's better for her to carry on the project to a PhD level as she doesn't have to set up anything again in a new lab OR

Start it all over again with a new project?

This is the same question you asked in original post! Did you not read our replies?

Just wrote a long reply and it was deleted......

There is someone in my dept doing a intercalated PhD (which is when you go to your undergrad degree, then do a PhD and then go back and finish medical school...in effect you end up with PhD and MD) but she had to do a MSc first...as far as I am concerned a PhD and MD are equal... it think if anyone thinks that they can complete a PhD in two years they're mad.

Quote From andyp:

Sorry Chrisrolinski, you missed the luck of the draw on the first batch of stars. But don't worry, one star's easy to get - just help somebody and if they like what you say they'll give you a star. The second one's a bit harder, and the third one's harder still. Noone's got 4 yet, so who knows how hard that is. As for five, well you'll need to get a job in Sheffield to come close to getting that many.

So how do I get a second star? Do i have to have two people to say I am helful postie? (i think this should be poster but both of them sound weird...i am neither a postwoman or a peice of paper on the wall...maybe just better to say a forum member?...sorry rambling :$)

I think it dependent on the scope of the project and if there is enough scope in the project to continue up to PhD level. At PhD level you need to make some original contribution to research, be that by creating something new, or applying something exisiting in a different way (there are loads of ways to make an original contriution). This is something that your friend should really discuss with her current/potential supervisors, as they may have some ideas on where to take the project. The other thing to consider is how challenging the project is and whether staying at the same institute is just an easy option? A PhD is three years hard work and has to be at the right uni and it needs to be the right project. Sometimes staying at your current uni is easy, but your friend may benefit from changing uni's in the long run. Hope this is of some help!
