On the 1st of October I officially began my PhD!
This is a big deal for me because at times I have questioned my academic ability and it's nice to have some validation for it.
My PhD is by research in Psychology and (without going into too much detail!) I will be exploring behaviour change theory and hopefully extending it beyond current theoretical boundaries.
I know I haven't posted much recently because I have been super busy but, as well as starting my PhD on the first of October I also handed in my MSc. thesis and therefore finished all the requirements for an MSc.
So for the next three years call me Philip Nelson, MSc.
Hopefully in the next few weeks I will get back into the habit of regular postings and I will start to explore some of the issues surrounding PhD work and the unique challenges it throws up.
