Well done! Let us know when you hear if you got it :)

It was fairly formal. Its so long ago now I can't remember specific questions. Just make sure you have a good overview of the project. Also have some questions planned to ask them.

Hey,
I did my undergraduate degree in microbiology at Liv uni and I'm doing my PhD there. Everyone in the micro dept are really nice. My PhD is in a diff dept but at my my interview there was a panel of 3 or 4 ppl none of them were my supervisor. I got asked about my honours project, practical modules and other lab work in my year out.

Good luck!

I am a very nervous person too. I am in the 3rd year of my PhD now and I have found it difficult especially giving talks, going to new places and meeting ppl. However I think that the only way to reduce the nerves is to actually do stuff like that. I am giving a talk tomorrow at a conference and I am terrified about it, but it has got better, I no longer can't sleep for wks before the talk!

thank you all for your kind replies. I doubt I will go. I'm going back to doctor this morning so I will see what he says but I'm thinking it would be better not too.

My conference isn't till thursday and friday, its on Staphylococcus.

I'm supposed to be going to a conference in Leeds on Wednesday. I felt ill all last week and when I finally went to the doctors she said I have a chest, ear and throat infection. I feel awful and I don't know if I am going to be feeling any better by Wednesday.

Is it really bad to miss a conference? I'm not giving a talk or anything. Has anyone else been in this situation? I don't know what to do!

Thanks everyone. I think I am def going to stick to white or a very pale blue.

I won't get to see the room before my talk because its at a conference that only lasts a day. So I guess I will just have to decide!

I can't decide which looks best and most clear what do people think?

I'm 25 and I have never eaten meat and I have never been anemic.

which bacteria are you studying? I work on Staph.

I have only 4 months left to finish my lab work and I still have loads to do. I am terrified that I'm not going to get it all done and I will fail at the last stage. Anyone else having the same troubles? How do you know when you have done enough? Everyone keeps asking me about writing up but I haven't even finished the work yet and it just makes me feel awful and rubbish.

I drink too much green tea and realised my fronth teeth had gone a lovely green colour (not a good look) so I started using whitening toothpaste.

I keep threatening him with it. You should see his face - I've never seen anyone look so scared!! I won't do it though,its his job!

I'm in my third year and only now am I realising that to survive doing a PhD you have to be selfish. You need to speak to your boyfriend and let him know that at this moment in time you have to think about yourself.
