For this very first episode, I talk about how feeling vulnerable and clumsy can sometimes be the only way to learn.
It might even be a good idea to create those awkward moments.
The 9-month report is approaching, slowly but surely.
Thankfully, I have good incentive to get started on the whole "writing things down" part of the PhD (I figure writing represents about 70% of the total work involved in a PhD).
My supervisors asked me to write a small summary of my research, and we had the same sort of assignment from the lecturers who lead the research methodology course that all first year PhDs have to follow.
Below is the short paragraph I wrote, to describe the context I am currently working in, with a synthesis and analysis of the most interesting bits in the literature.
