  3. The Passage of Time

    The start of this term has been so busy that I forgot that October 1st was the 40th anniversary of the day I officially started as a research student at the University of Sussex (1st October 1985). Reflecting on that event I realized with something approaching horror that 1985 is halfway between 1945 and 2025, so I started my PhD DPhil closer in time to the end of World War 2 than to today. Yikes!

    Before travelling to the Sussex to embark on my research degree, I spent a couple of weeks at a summer school for all the new Astronomy PhD students. These are still held annually, although they are now just a week long instead of a fortnight. They are now sponsored by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) but the one I attended was before that came into being, and even before its predecessor, the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research PPARC. The Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC)  summer school I went to was held at Durham University; we all stayed in St Mary’s College, just over the road from the Physics Department. I remember it well and indeed still have the notes I took during the lectures there.

    Another difference in those days was that we got our stipends paid by cheque – every three months, if I remember correctly – directly from the Research Council. Nowadays STFC gives block grants to universities and other research institutions, who then pay the students.

    Anyway, here is the summer school conference picture:

    Unfortunately (for such a rare and valuable document) it is slightly damaged on the left -hand side. I leave it up to my readers to identify the people in this group who are still in the business 40 years later. I can see quite a few – Moira Jardine, Alan Fitzsimmons, Melvyn Hoare, Jon Loveday and Alastair Edge, among others! A more complete list can be found here.

    I don’t think I’m the only member of this group who is thinking of retiring fairly soon. This post was occasioned by the 40th anniversary of the start of my DPhil; my plan is to retire 40 years after the date of the completion of my thesis. That’s less than three years from now…

    "What we call the beginning is often the end
    And to make an end is to make a beginning.
    The end is where we start from. "

  13. Conference Complete ✅!
    #IMPRS #PhDStudents, Raphael Pistor and Clara Bayley, attended the International Conference on Clouds and Precipitation this week in Jeju, South Korea.
    ICCP: iccp2024.kr/
    Talks spanned all the key frontiers of cloud research - from supercooled liquid in cirrus to types of mixing in stratocumulus.
    Huge congratulations to the ICCP committee and the local organisers for running such a successful conference.
    We are looking forward to ICCP 2028 in India!

  14. I had a fantastic time over the past two weeks leading my fourth summer workshop series on data science with the IMSI Summer Internship Program!

    Are you a Statistics or Mathematics PhD student seeking a summer internship for 2025? Keep an eye out for an announcement in Fall 2024 regarding applications at:

  16. very seriously and went out of my way to research how academics are targeted, how this can impact research, how to be prepared to recognise this, how to protect my research (and myself). Because it seemed obvious to me that #academics are targets. But I have realised this is not something everyone tells #PhDstudents to do - and it's resulted in dangerous naivety.

  17. The 2024 Annual #Conference of the British Society for the #Psychology of #IndividualDifferences goes North!

    14th April in Salford!

    Abstract submissions by
    1st March!

  19. We are looking for another PhD student for our group to use systems biology to understand host-microbe interactions in a diabetes mellitus context:
    jobs.uksh.de/job/Kiel-Doctoral
    You will use constrained based modelling to predict these interactions and predict targeted microbiome interventions for diabetes type 2 therapy. The project is lead by @kaletalab and is carried out in collaboration with Martin von Bergen (UFZ Leipzig)
    #phdlife #phdstudents @dfg_public
    @phdlife @phdstudents #acadamicchatter

  20. Interested in modeling metabolic microbiome-host interactions? Then apply for a DFG funded PhD position with me in Kiel (Germany): tinyurl.com/3k5t4724 We will use metabolic modeling to understand bacterial community dynamics in the host Hydra under changing environmental conditions. Super nice group, appreciative environment and great city to live in by the Baltic Sea.

    Please share and boost!

  22. @thesiswhisperer

    Good job on making the jump. There's lots of guides on how to get started but one easy thing is doing a pinned post and writing a #Introduction You can have up to 5 of them. All posts are editable! 😀

    Also, there's no freetext search so you need # to connect, maybe this post will get you started! 😀

  23. Saved my RStudio session from my office PC to an external drive (first mistake) to work remotely. Only to discover all the code from today has not been saved to the drive. I'm hoping the local image is still on R Studio tomorrow.
