Thanks!

Unfortunately, at my university in the UK things are far harsher. I have 48 months, no matter what, to finish and submit - the clock is always ticking!

I had the same, hence the crazy work hours to get the papers published. The last year was torture as I was repeating the same 13 hour experiment for about three months, seven days a week, until I finally sussed it and got it to work so I could publish the data. I now get to poke fun of my friend from the lab as he's going through the same ordeal, every time I text him to go to the pub he's still in the lab even if it's 11pm on a Sunday.
