It's always tough to make a planning, but it helps when there's somebody who has a good idea of how much you can do in a short span of time. Maybe one of the other PhDs?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286305307194622159.post-13580491780096981322009-04-21T10:02:00.000+02:002009-04-21T10:02:00.000+02:00Yeah, the problem I have is that I must submit a f...Yeah, the problem I have is that I must submit a final version by Sep/Oct due to visa issues.

Almost a year later I'm very certain that this is the right direction for my thesis, but probably not what something to do in a post-doc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
