Something exciting is being discussed right now between me and my department, can't be too specific right now in case it doesn't come off (I haven't told any of my PhD friends at my uni for that reason!), but hopefully it will come to fruition! My primary supervisor is really hoping it will too! :excited:

Thank you! It's something I didn't expect to happen (and I guess it still might not, don't want to get my hopes up), but I was specifically approached, hence why I don't want to say anything to my peers in case they say "Why wasn't I approached too?!" :teeth:

Ah yeah, those kinda situations are so tricky! Good idea to keep it on the down-low for now but very much hoping it bears fruit :biggrin:

Tbh even if it does come off, I'm sure someone will still complain that the *thing* wasn't advertised. In my case though, they want someone with a very specific qualification/experience, and afaik I'm the only one in the department with that.

Haters gonna hate (hate, hate, hate, hate) so you just gotta shake (shake, shake, shake, shake), shake it off! Shake it off :yep:

Snuffle, twitch, wobble. Hi from Norway.

I canne believe I am now in my 30s and still not officially a GOG. Being a mature student bites.

Dw, all the best of us take time with our studies! (I'll have been doing my PhD 8.5 years by the time I finish - and that's assuming I won't extend/interrupt again. Which I probs will :colondollar: ) :awesome:

Guys!!! I need your help!

I have a tentative postdoc interview next month (:iiam: location)! Would it be appropriate to make notes of our discussion about the project? What are some things I should ask the prof?
