kaberettThat mantle sulphides doc I wrote up based on having gone "no, you know what, this stuff is important and we should think about it"? My supervisor agrees to the extent that she's intending to use it as the basis for a grant application and setting up some more potentially exciting collaborations for me. And while the writing deffo stands to be improved, I actually got "good" scrawled on the thing at a couple of points.
This really massively feels like a major milestone in terms of The Self As Researcher: it is the first time in my PhD that I have properly gone "nobody has done this before and I think we need to look at it", and -- I was right. I was right and I'm taking ownership of my project and setting direction. I was right and my supervisor is going to write a grant proposal based on my document, and let me see how the thing is done.

Date: 2014-07-22 03:19 pm (UTC)One time I wrote up a research proposal for an experiment about a weird thing I noticed in our current experiment, and my PI told her colleague about it, and the colleague went "hm, but does it account for issue x in the design" and my PI said "yup, she thought of that" and they apparently nodded at each other about how competent I am. Which was nice to hear even if I never did end up getting funding for the thing.
