Hi lovely people!

I'm a 4th year PhD student in the UK with just a few months to go until I finish! I'm working on pulling everything together in these months but struggling quite a bit. This forum has helped me lots, and after lurking for a few days I decided to sign up and join in the conversation!

Hopefully the accountability helps me, and hopefully I can contribute in some way to this awesome community as well!

Yesterday, I did 10 pomodoros (tomatoes) towards my meat chapter (chapter 4). Today I hope to do at least as many, and get my zeroth draft of chapter 4 done by tomorrow.

Good luck everybody!

Hi Mathgirl!

Welcome to the forum. You seem to be making good progress with your work, which is great.

Keep up with your work and hope you will get the support you desired from the forum :)

Hi Mathsgirl! Sounds like I'm at the same stage as you. My final deadline is Sept, but I start my new career in June...so my ideal was to finish by then but my supervisors are not confident in my work yet! 6 weeks of manic writing and then hopefully just some revisions to do while working full time! How many chapters have you got left to write? I have intro and two data chapters drafted (but needed major work) and one data chapter almost drafted, one more to do and then conclusion chapter...eek!

Hi Mathgirl,

Welcome. I'm also in my last year and I have about 2/3 months to finish. It is motivating to know more people are working toward a similar aim.

Good luck with your progress and let us know how it goes.

Cheers,
Mathcomp

Hi guys,

Hope everyone is having a great day! Thanks for welcoming me silverlining, Caro and Mathcomp. This community seems awesome :)

Caro, I'm in the same place! About 2 drafted chapters with just a few weeks left! I have another big data chapter to draft though, so slightly behind there!

Mathcomp, yes 2/3 months for me as well. Are you in Maths/Comp Sci? I'm in Applied Maths. How many chapters do you have written down?

Hope you all have a productive day guys. Would love to hear back and keep updated on your progress.

I have written all of my four chapters partly. But recently I completed one of them. I'm in parallel trying to find a job for when I finished writing.
My research lies on the border of math and computer science. So yeah pretty close to yours. :)

Hello there,

I am looking to persue PhD in biomedical science or related topics, but I have no idea how to get in touch with supervisors as most of them do not take international students. Can any one let me know ASAP please. Thanks!

Ah yeah the data chapter I haven't written yet is my biggest! I was hoping I would have had enough practice by then that it will all be easier, but I'm still finding writing incredibly hard! I'm just not a natural scientific writer. I'm better at working under pressure though and there is certainly a lot of that from now on so hopefully it will all just flow out of my in a short time hah! Good luck with your last chapter =)
