Hi there,

This is something to pass around to your PhDs...

Ben

------------------
Happy New Year! Whilst the adverts for gyms, lo-fat yoghurts and slim-fast give a pretty strong hint as to most people's New Year's resolutions (stop eating turkey twizzlers, give up smoking, take up mixed martial arts etc.), there's only one resolution in the mind of the PhD student: "This year WILL be the year I stop procrastinating."

Around the country there will be well-intentioned colour-coded Gant charts, mindmaps, and to-do lists being generated on the nice stationery received for Christmas, but by the end of the month you may find your commitment to "1,000 words a day" slipping a little. What better time than to take a short, well-deserved break, and submit an article to GRADBritain?

We're the only magazine written by and for postgraduate researchers just like you and we invite articles on a range of issues. We're particularly interested in stories about how you overcame obstacles during the course of your studies so that other readers can avoid the pitfalls and benefit from your experience. We pay £50 for articles that we use and we try to provide feedback to everyone that submits an article. Further details on submitting an article can be found here: http://www.grad.ac.uk/gradbritain/

The deadline for submissions will be Friday the 1st of February at 5pm. Please address all articles to gradbritain at grad.ac.uk and be sure to include your name, email address, affiliation, and a postal address.  
Many thanks
