Our panel today are talking about 'Thesis Writing', and by the end of the discussion we hope listeners will be inspired, perhaps realise they are not alone, have a few new ideas on approach and most importantly will be itching to get back to writing as opposed to finding every chore under the sun to do as a way of getting out of it (that includes looking at Facebook, cat videos, pairing socks and staring out of the window). Adam Smith (who is unable to ever keep recordings down to 30 minutes) talks with Dr Marianne Coleman, a research Orthopist from the University of Surrey, Dr Josie Jenkinson a Consultant Psychiatrist from Surrey and Maxine Mackintosh, a PhD student from UCL.

Life In The Lab
August 26, 2019
•28m
Welcome to this week's podcast, hosted by Oz Ismail. Oz is joined by Dr David Steadman, Yolanda Ohene and Christina Toomey who are all based in labs at University College London. The lab can be a home from home given the amount of time you can end up spending there - a place where late nights and early mornings are dictated by your experiments. A place filled with incredible highs (when your experiments work) and horrendous lows (when the experiment you have toiled on for months for some reason doesn’t work). Today's panel are discussing life in the lab, what works for them, and how they transitions from classroom to lab. We might even touch on the superstitions our panellists have for ensuring lab success!
