Hi, my name is Sam, I am currently filling in an application form for a PhD. What do I write under the section "evidence to support your application". Do I write about Laboratory experience, state the articles that have been puclished etc? Is there any format to follow. Also, there is another section "Personal Statement" as on most common application forms. I am afraid my information will overlap. How can I keep them separate? Thanks!

It can be tricky to keep these two separate, but your suggestions for what to include in your 'evidence' are correct. The personal statement should be more focused on your motivations, what aspects of the work interest you and what you'd like to achieve.
