believe it or not I teach logistic regression to postgrads HA!

I recommend Andy Field - his book is fab, and he also has a really good website that have his lecture hand outs on.

I just find that really dumbing it down - getting to the real crux of the matter helps me to wade through the theoretical stuff. Then my mind is clear so I can then go and add to this, but it ensures that the key messages are very clearly presented.

With a discussion I would break down my findings into itty bitty chunks and then try and explain what they meant to my mum - then write it down. From there you can become more theoretical - I would start by just putting a list under each finding of theories/references that relate to it. Then I would expand from there.

Having said that my discussions tend to just turn into limitations of my study - I find it very hard not to skate over the actual findings!

for some reason it makes me think of the Dawson's Creek theme tune....

I don't wanna wait for my PhD to be over......

Thanks Rick - I am technically correcting a professor's grammar for an article - not an academic one, a newspaper one. But it has my name on it and don't want to look like a mug in a grammatical way ;-)

thanks rick - that was my initial thought, but the professor got it wrong mwahahahaha.

I won't add you as third author, sorry! But I will click the helpful user button!

ok I need to know the correct way of saying

a small group of people LED the way (this is how I would write it)

or should it be

a small group of people LEAD the way - it needs to be in the past tense, so surely this version is just referring to the metal

??

maybe you can dance in your clever clogs? provide a bit of percussion!

After a weekend away from things, and a very painful day out of the house I am going to get some non-PhD work e.g. consultancy stuff out of the way tonight and settle down into that thematic analysis publication tomorrow!

I don't know who Dawkins is but it sounds like a good geeky duo - "Clogs and Dawkins playing for one night only at the Geek convention in Dorking" maybe you could support The Procrastinators

Im a classical cellist, classical and jazz trumpeter and play a little piano - (I mean I play a small amount of piano, not a small piano), although since startin my PhD my piano skills have gone from about grade 7 to basic disney songs haha.

My bro is a sound engineer and professional musician if you need any help with the studio side of things wal.

I vote for The Procrastinators

hmm - how are the royalties going to be divided if we all write the song? Should it be by proportional to number of stars? :p

Worringly - between a conversation of in-training primary school teachers

"I don't understand why limescale isn't green"

Hmm on you and your wedding you go by the number of posts so from 'new bride to be' to 'bridezilla' after a few thousand - sickening isn't it!?

We could start off as lowly researcher to chair of the department!

No Eska! - Surely Fantastic Mr Fox should stay a Fantastic roald dahl book - not a horrible american film with Bill Murray (!!!???)



Ev - loving the conchords - you should watch them ALL cos your 'the most beautiful girl in the.....room' haha



My favs are very boring - if I had to only have 1 dvd ever it would be Pride and Prejudice BBC version with Colin  Firth :-x



My favourite film for quite while now has been 300, before I have switched between goodfellas, I life less ordinary (think that was a stage) and of course the amazing dirty dancing!
