Dear ladies, gents and members of unrelated species, in accordance with my utterly bemusing career path, I have decided to pursue a PhD. I will be exploring the boundaries of science, slavery and relentless micro-management. At the same time, I will be obeying all random commands of my Principal Investigators (PI) or “project guide”. It will be, no doubt, exciting times as I work with novel concepts in my field of Systems-Biology/ Bioinformatics/Gobbledygook.
Like any self-respecting UK university, I had been left without funds to start this project earlier. However, now thanks to some amazing ballet by four different Research groups and my own incessant moaning, I have enough resources to get this project off the ground.
The path of the project is very slowly (I saw Pluto going past me twice) being put into place. As each bit is discussed, the collaborating groups have agreed to fight to maximize their share of the pie. Of course, such a fight, usually played with the student’s blood and severed head as the prize, will be very beneficial to me and scientific community as a whole. Hopefully, after a long gestation period of abundant politics, self-interest, science and some very hard labour, I will have made an attempt to move science tremendously, by few parts of a millimetre.
