Post by: constant thinker on May 17, 2006, 08:49:25 PM: Sweet. Congrats to you.

I'm still trying to figure my life out. I'm thinking of going into research. Maybe organic chemistry? Pharma industry? Psychology? Inorganic chemistry? It's all up in the air.

Post by: Mitch on May 18, 2006, 08:46:31 AM: That was the last "signifigant" stage before you get a PhD. I still need to work in lab a few more years and write a dissertation, but these are the easy things compared to this oral exam.

Congrats Mitch! I had a friend of mine just complete his PhD dissertation and he said it was the most hellacious, stressful thing he's ever done. Don't mean to put any fear into you. ;) ;D

Post by: Dan on May 23, 2006, 06:13:16 AM: Nice work!

I start my research year (4th year) of my MChem in September, I can't wait! I might stay on for a DPhil (if they'll keep me) or go elsewhere for a PhD.
