I'm almost 9 months into my CASE PhD studentship.
I seem to spend a lot of my time writing up notes for my frequent meetings within my own department and with other professionals from other unis. Does anyone else do this?! I kind of feel like a glorified admin/secretary person! I don't mind taking notes in meetings,in fact, it does clarify my own thoughts about my PhD and other projects, but at the moment, it seems its almost expected of me to take the bulk of the note taking, despite being surrounded by other researchers, (abliet non phd)! Any thoughts/comments will be appreciated. I'm probably being a little moany, but surely, my time could be better spent working on my ethics applications and my literature reviews (like other first years I know are involved in!).
