I couldn't afford a masters degree at the time. When I spoke to my Director of Undergrad studies (DoG) at Imperial about this, he said: "You won't get on a PhD programme without one".
The sort of phrase I like to hear :)

[Hayley Lees @DrHayleyLees]

Fellow wormies (past and present): we all know that @wormbase is so, so important - let's make sure the NIH knows this! Same goes for the other fantastic model-organism databases!

[GenSocUK Postgrad Student @GenSocStudent]

@AIsis08 @genotripe Hi Krissie, look out for Doctoral Training Programmes opening up in the coming weeks. They’re all over the UK and are funded by research councils (BBSRC, MRC) so you get research funding and a stipend. You can also filter for only fully funded opps on https://t.co/c3qUmMpG17

[Sarah McMenamin, she/her @skmcmena]

Starting a PhD program? Congratulations!! I have some advice if you'd like it!
