A few comments:

1. Why do you require a ScD? It is largely an honourary degree, so I don't know if it is so important that you should base the next 20-odd years of your life around it?

2. You shouldn't really plan to get a PhD - it's not a given, and if you've read some of the posts on here it could be a potential stumbling block. it's not easy, so maybe don't take it for granted that it will happen.

3. There is the Cambridge-MIT Institute (www.cmi.cam.ac.uk) though much of their work is based on technology transfer, so not sure how much of the bioengineering field they cover. I don't think to apply for a ScD it matters where your PhD is from, it's your original contribution to research that counts.

4. Why the focus on collecting letters after your name? I would concentrate more on getting that good body of research behind me, rather than having an impressive-looking business card.

And here ends my lecture.

I must admit I'm facing the same problem. Also, I have endnote on my Department computer, but I do a lot of writing on my home computer. So a) can you get free/cheap licenses for home use, and b) how can you update the two copies?

Sounds like she needs one of these:

Reminds me of a very old thread. If only DanB was here, he'd be flogging you his special DanB Accident Claim Squeeze-them-for-every-penny-they've-got Services.

It's one of those 'No Win, We Still Charge You' deals with fully qualified legal professionals (LLM Belford University) taking up your case.

Get well soon!

Yeah, long time. Hope you got a lot of work done while you weren't posting! You lucky...

Hey Sylvester, I'd missed the Graham threads!

I think just about everyone on this forum will put there hand up on that one.

Can you really measure how to get a distinction? Everybody has different work rates and every course is different, and I'm sure there's not a magic formula that says 'number of hours x journal papers read = great degree'.

I think the above attitude is kinda the wrong way of looking at it. Just put the work and effort in and do your best, that's all you can do.
