Hi

Does anyone else feel like they will never get a PhD?

yup: but then looking on the bright side, maybe we'll all find something else interesting to do. I hear there are a lot of jobs in teaching.......

Yep, i've made so many stupid bets with people because i'm completely convinced i'll never get there. Good luck though, I suppose we've got to have hope.

yup, with my supervisor not being very helpful, having had 4 supervisors in the lab and now none .... other people re-doing my experiment and not coming up with the same results, my supervisor telling me off all the time for silly things like walking too slow or playing 1h of football a week with my labmates (who also play but never get told off).

Being told I work too slow when I haven't got the result of the 72h timepoint after two days, my supervisor changing her mind about what experiments interest her without letting me now, my supervisor getting my name wrong (doesn't bother me)- and that of the cell lines (which can be confusing), my supervisor telling me we should re-asses my holidays because I took a day off to go to a funeral.

anon german which dept at sussex are you in? ps are you male or female?
