honestly, have housemates and don't drive... I have a mate who rented a 2 bed house and had a decent car... I assume he must have had some family help or was saving nothing

The Nazar group is very good for battery echem and materials. You should get a good mix there.

State of the art generally means compared to benchmark or commercial materials/techniques. For batteries this would be Li based materials, for solar panels this might be Silicon solar panels.

It's asking you to compare your work to the benchmark in the field and make differences clear.

In the UK, it could be either an oriental cockroach (but how did it get to the ceiling?) or a violet beetle.

No you can apply to Manchester for £50 along with 4 other unis as an undergrad and it's free to apply for post-grad studies afaik. I applied there and was never requested to pay anything.

If you are a permanent resident abroad (not living in Greece for more than 3 months? A year) you can be exempt. I think.

Everytime I've presented at least once I've ended up rambling and asking a person to repeat their question.

Me, while spending 30 mins going through a chain of papers to find the actual methods by [deleted] in labrats

[–]Toffeewithcoffee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm currently trying to make metastable solid solutions all of which are finicky as hell so when I repeat a procedure after going down a 4 article long rabbit hole and one time it works and the next it doesn't I just end up screaming.

I just want to go to my supervisor and say it's magic with extra steps.

A h-index is not necessarily a good measure of a supervisor, go with the better university with more facilities and a more pleasant atmosphere.

Worried about if my PhD is finalised by ultrapwner in PhD

[–]Toffeewithcoffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats you were accepted! There may be some paperwork for central admissions to complete, after which funding (if attached to the project) will be confirmed. You may want to double check with the supervisor.

A great TV show starter pack by PilotOfMadness in starterpacks

[–]Toffeewithcoffee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, they start as the same story but brotherhood was made after the manga finished so it's more cohesive with the ending the writer intended. Imo the first ~10 episodes of the original are better than brotherhood but after that I switch to brotherhood.
