Congrats! Now prepare for a long life of underpay, tons of work, and absolutely no social life.

**CAxrrAYN** · 06-10-2007, 02:57 AM

Well done on choosing academia: you and I will be finishing up our doctorates in the same year now (probably). What's the topic of your research?

There'll be no living with you.

BTW: In England, there's Middlesex, an Essex, a Sussex, and a Wessex, but nowhere is there a Nosex.

Plus about enough authority to make ya swell up like George Micheal in a park at night

Not with a PhD in biochem.

3 years for a Biochem degree? At my Uni most people take 5 years for a Biochemistry major instead of the "normal" 4 years because it requires more credits then most majors, it's almost like a double major.

**Vomazoono** · 06-10-2007, 05:36 AM

Oh man, Biochem. That's some heavy stuff I wish I could learn, but alas my math abilities are worse than my posting

. I'm jealous of you. Congrats on surviving

Yeah, because of my NVLD it took me forever to get down simple stuff like calculating molar mass. I really wish I could explore bio chem more so I could study neurology and pharmacology in depth.

**textarchive** · 06-10-2007, 09:38 AM

I still have 2.5 months to go until my last exam. All because of a 1.5 month long student strike.

I'll be looking at DNA polymerase kappa and how its regulated in response to UV damaged induced lesions on the DNA. Its got loads of C-terminal motifs that look like they're used in recognising signals such as ubiquitination of PCNA and other factors, for example, that occurs at stalled replication forks.

Had a Wessex, got rid of it. Have a Norfolk and Suffolk. I think its a crying shame that the proud county of Sussex has been split in two.

On a much nicer side, I'm originally from Sussex. Brighton-area specifically (anyone think it shows?

). So I'm going back home after 21 years away.

I wish I had a free summer

I need a job and teh money to keep me going till October.

**everlastinge** · 06-10-2007, 07:04 PM

Congratulations!

My BSc was in microbiology but with one course change it would have been biochem.
