Here's hoping you don't have to change it. I lost count of how many times I changed the first sentence (and all subsequent ones...) of my MA thesis.

I have changed my overall project 4 times now, so I have given up the idea of working on some parts of my thesis while working on the experiments. Actually, a lot of the background is the same, but the question being looked at is different so the phrasing and organization of the background changes.

KoM, do you compose all your academic writing in English, and is all of that in British English? Don't you study in Northern Europe... or am I thinking of someone else?

Well, I did study in northern Europe at one point, to wit, when I was doing my Master's thesis in Bergen. But that was before I joined the board. Even then I was doing my writing in English, though; as my supervisor says, "Physics has a common language; it's called Broken English". And I do it in British English because you dashed colonials are wrong, curse it.

Well, yes. It's an introductory chapter, sheesh. Geologists are going to read it. It's got pretty pictures, too.

Do you mind if a layperson asks what mesons have to do with Geology? I don't see the connection, but it must be fascinating... Posts: 1813 | Registered: Apr 2001

Nothing, but there are geologists (well, not literally, but non-particle physicists) on my thesis committee.
