I think you would find it very difficult to transfer at this late stage and there really is no point. It's quite odd of this person to suggest this if you ask me. I would tell her it's not possible. There's no indication this person is going to be a better supervisor than the ones you've already got. Just tell you it's a postdoc you're after. If she really wants to work with you and she can get funding, then there's no reason this funding can't be for a postdoc.

You've got a 0.45% chance of becoming a professor, but don't worry, you've got the chance to be one of the 47% of early career researchers and 3.5 % of permanent research staff before you realise this. Good luck.

Actually this info is for Science, but you get the picture. It's highly unlikely, but a lot of us still try it.

Yep I agree, I would be doing option 3 of my original suggestions if I was in your position.

Remember what happened to the stem cell person who faked data. She looked like a scapegoat to me.

Hmm, this doesn't sound good. Any reason you decided to publish papers with fake results?

This is an impossible situation really.

1. If you come clean and retract your papers, you probably won't get a PhD and will never work in Science again.

2. If you add these results to your thesis, it's likely no one will ever know that these results were fake and you can on as normal.

3. If you don't add the results to your thesis, people will definitely ask why eg in your viva, you could then say it was work that your supervisor did.

It's your decision to make. It's too easy to say do the right thing (option 1) in this case, because there's a lot at stake for you personally, and you were probably manipulated in one way or another by your supervisor, so it's not entirely your fault. On the other hand, the integrity of Science depends on the integrity of its researchers.

Whatever you choose to do, you need to distance yourself from this work and your supervisor as soon as you can.

The closest you will ever get to knowing what your supervisor is thinking is by asking him what he is thinking.

I kind of feel like QR codes are kind of over before they started...

Agree with above.

And it's very normal to get new comments - it's called formative feedback. You write something, someone adds their thoughts, you write some more, someone adds some more thoughts, sometimes picking up things they missed the first time, or things they've changed their minds on. This happens at every level in academia.

See, this is the great thing about academia: you can't appeal academic judgement. Whether we graduated last week, or 40 years ago, we know better than you. Apparently.

There's nothing you can do. You only have a case if you believe there was a mistake made in marking e.g wrong criteria used or unfairness due to prejudice or something.

I've read that too, great book

That's very normal. Only differences above 10% get moderated at my uni - both markers have to discuss and agree a new mark within the 10% limit.

Once you're on the other side like me, you realise it's all subjective! Having said that, the difference between a 2.1 and a first is easy to spot at a glance and they are poles apart.

So yep, you have no problem, just fix it. That's what I did, but these were only minor errors I made in writing the thesis.

Join societies, they have travel funds you can apply for. Some up to 1/2 of conference costs. In my field this would be Experimental Biology or the Microbiology Society. Find your equivalents. You may also be able to get funds from your uni alumni fund, or your PhD funding may have a separate part for conferences.

Same goes for research visits.

Your focus in your PhD doesn't really matter, you can keep it or you can apply to skills you learnt in it to another topic. I would just apply for things at this stage and wouldn't worry too much about focus, because you never know what you are going to end up getting anyway,

Young companies can easily go bust. I would probably take the PhD.
