Hey, sorry about the late reply!

I did do a dissertation, unfortunately my results were not conclusive and did not produce any viable data, so it will not be possible to publish anything :(.

I'm ultimately looking to do cancer research, but im quite laidback and interested in several academic areas such as neuroscience and pharmacology. I quite frankly have no idea what to do with regards to proposing my own project, so I'm currently applying for funded PhD projects. Do you have any pointers in finding lab experience, as i will happily do unpaid lab work (if its in my local area). Would maybe be worth seeing if my old secondary school would take me on as a voluntary lab technician?

Mainly Collecting Money, maybe working at the cancer research shop, that sort of thing :)

Hey Everybody

So i have just finished a masters and currently unemployed living back home. I'm a recent graduate with no work experience beyond what I have done in the lab during my course, with the prospects for employment in my area quite slim in the area i currently live in (Cumbria). I was wondering while I have free time what I could do to improve my skills and enhance my CV, beyond the obvious get work experience? For example I am looking into doing Cancer Research, should i consider volunteering for cancer research? any other pointers?

Thanks in advance!
