A postgrad asked me if I'd been impacted by the Microsoft outages today: "Only insofar as they made me happier." "Same." she replied.

He was my boss for my postgrad internship, but I’d lost track of him…

I need to use this example. That means that next semester's postgrad methods class simply must get as far as the poisson regression model (if not negative binomial!). I have motivation!

Also it’s in percentages. Like 5% of postgrad in uk is a waaaaay smaller number of actual peoplethan 5% of postgrads in an entire continent

Learning basic medieval palaeography during my MPhil (23-24 years ago!?) is one of my happiest memories as a postgrad student. :-)

This is a postgrad paper and it is most definitely kicking my ass, I'm struggling to remember everything even as I 'learn' it, too much crammed into too short a time. But I am determined! I'm not going to let the Group Project From Hell team pass without me.

IMO, Musk's got even less going for him. He's hung so much on fairy dust, and he's got no postgrad education. He's got a BA (not a BS) in Physics and a BS in Economics. He's not an engineer.
Huang meanwhile actually designed chips and worked his way up.

International postgrad students are the best way of helping both countries. Help talented people thrive & both countries benefit. If you earn a PhD in your another country, you should automatically become a resident there- you won't be sitting on the dole, that's not who you are!
UK postgraduate numbers down by an estimated 19% this autumn and international undergraduates down by 2%. In contrast, US PG declines were down 13% and Canada 3%.
It makes an utter nonsense of growth in every postcode.

It's quite alien to me. I think I give off a clear A/queer energy that the only person to make advances to me was a naïve undergrad when I was a postgrad.

Is it? Whatever the politics of Trump the US is still a wealthier country with far more opportunities, especially in postgrad fields, than the UK is.

What I take from this is even white voters with PhDs are dumber than non-white voters with only a high school diploma...

when I sat a postgrad medical exam in London (not open book) one candidate took over a table in the College cloakroom as a personal study space with ten different books as if she was likely to make a difference to her performance by on-the-day cramming. that’s commitment!
