Hi guys, updating my status. MPhil (Social Science) part time

Area: Accounting Education, Communication Avoidance

I finished the majority part of my data analysis, and handed the draft thesis to both my supervisor and co-supervisor. Hope that they will give me the green light so I can proceed to work completion seminar.

One paper written in late Dec 2012 was gracefully returned with comment that my paper might be too lengthy (i wrote 8.5k words oh). And that gave me an idea to separate it to 2 papers.

I also thought of doing 2 conference papers on top of sending 2 of them for journal review. Will only go for typical international journal this round. Been rejected 4 times 

My scholarship will end this July 2013 (started July 2011), where the institution supports my minimum 2 years of study. Failing which to submit thesis for examination within the period, I'll need to fork out extra RM1000 per year for extension of study.

Hope that I can save up the 1k. =)
Hi Starbucki, you may consider negotiating with the institution in incorporating a statistician lecturer of another department as your (additional) co-supervisor, if you want to save the cost =) So long you can justify the need for the expertise.

==========

Hope all goes well with everybody's research. Once I completed my master, I intend to go for an internal grant 

God bless Malaysia.

anyone here doing their postgrad in USM??? would want to seek out advice and info...

=D....

Hmm, not much people interested in furthering studies in Biology?

Though I’m unsure of how you hypothesized that, I'm interested in Biomimetics! In Innovative R&D, biomimetics is the process of learning from and then emulating nature’s ingenious solutions to complex problems. For example, the Mercedes-Benz Bionic was modeled after a type of fish, the Ostracion cubicus (a boxfish), due to the low coefficient of drag of its body shape and the rigidity of its exoskeleton.



And I wonder if you’ll be curious, as you notice the real-life applications of biomimetics only scratch the surface of this fascinating approach. Nature has spent billions of years designing and perfecting systems and processes, excelling at finding optimal solutions under conflicting constraints and demanding requirements. Scientists and Engineers have similar goals: optimal results with minimal input and minimal use of resources. And if you have to solve a problem, chances are nature already did it.

Haha.. i presume in other words..... Biologically Inspired.. haha

Biomimetics sounds very interesting

The idea is attractive to many scientists and indeed to many innovators. 
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a French philosopher quotes, “The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.” The next example is the science-fiction Predator-inspired innovation. Have you ever thought of having clothing with touchscreen capabilities built right into the fabric? Under Armour is heading toward this idea with its next generation of wearable technology. The purpose is to help measure as well as enhance sports in addition to fitness performance.

I just finished my PhD recently in Drug discovery/medicinal chemistry/molecular microbiology from Strath Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, Uni of Strath, UK. Im MPharm holder from Uni of Strath too.

Congratulations Dr.!
And welcome

Congrats! May I know what kind of computational approach to your research?

Virtual screening of compound libraries and molecular modelling (ligand-based)

My nightmare is your pleasure

Why is that your nightmare? Labwork is worse
