Advice

I've had feedback from the ethics chap. He points out that

1. my supervisors have to endorse the ethics application
2. the research question might need to be "rather more focused and explicit"

So oh yeuch! Supervisors aren't around for weeks, (see the PhD comic on elusive supervisors) and ethics applications take perhaps a month to get through, and I hoped to know enough about what I was doing by September to start on a pilot project.

And yeah! I'm writing something now so that I can get this darned research question focused and explicit.

Back to the writing desk!
