Dumbest thing I've ever done | A week as a PhD student #8

Why do I have these ideas? Seriously, why do I inflict these things on myself??

This week I run a mile, talk about how we solved the problems in my code, go through the history of one of the most famous choral pieces of music in the world, visit a world heritage site, and sing for you in a quartet with Dan!

I've changed things up a bit this week, making the vlog more of a day-by-day 'show' with a focus each day, so a bit less of a stream of consciousness documentary. Let me know what you thought!

...If anyone would like to see a Dan/Simon movie show pls comment...

I am Simon, a fourth year PhD candidate at the University of Exeter. I upload videos on bits of science which are relevant to what I do, and sometimes just because they're really cool.
