Reaching new lows | A week as a PhD student #7

This week things get low. Really, really low. And I'm not just talking about the standard of democracy on campus. In this episode I talk about the science of one of the equations I'm investigating, check that equation makes sense in my data, answer questions about love, sing in Exeter cathedral, make a big mistake, introduce you to Russian choral music, and get man flu. It's a bumpy ride this week! (NOTE: there is revenue sharing going on for this video because chapel choir got copystruck for singing the Whitacre - which apparently means we sound exactly like the recording the record company has on file!)

I upload videos on bits of science which are relevant to what I do, and sometimes just because they're really cool.
