My NINTH freshers' week | A week as a PhD student #24

I give out advice to future freshers, return to Oxford, find and solve a problem in my code, and record my own Attenborough doc!

Finally starting to close the gap between when these vlogs were recorded and when they are released! Next up there's a completely mental vlog about bonfire night, another weekly vlog detailing me handing in my thesis (AAAAAA), and then another weekly vlog about my time in New York with YouTube (WHAT?). And then we're basically up to date! So yeah, lots of exciting stuff to come, and that's just the vlogs...

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.
