TODAY – It's our birthday! First annual blogger/reader meetup – by Anna
Happy birthday PhD Life! Today's the day!!!!
To celebrate, we'll have our first annual BIRTHDAY BLOGGER-READER MEETUP - TODAY at 5:30PM at the Dirty Duck. All are invited, and we sincerely hope you can make it!
Some history of the blog:
Last January, we started the PhD Life blog as a way to create a sense of community amongst PhD students at Warwick - one that would go across all disciplines and departments. We all have a lot in common as budding researchers, yet it seemed like there was no way to talk about the stuff we all share and can help each other with - stuff like how to manage your time or how to deal with a difficult supervisor.
We count 3 February as our birthday (OK, it was actually last week), though, because on exactly this day was published the first entry that I didn't write myself! Pete Kirwan, who hung around the Rex a lot, graciously offered to start blogging with me, and our community blog was born. (He has since moved on to a faculty position at Nottingham.)
The PhD Life blog over the past year has turned into a great forum for sharing our experiences of this PhD Life of ours, and I love, love, LOVE having the privilege to be the editor. Thanks so much to all our bloggers and readers for making this blog the great resource it is! Keep those posts and comments coming.
Finally, just to make today extra special, here's some R-Patt for y'all:

Well, it’s not strictly my blog birthday until April, but hey, I’m always up for a birthday party! So Happy Birthday to us! I’ll be writing a post about what the blog has given me, in the near future…Sadly not Robert Pattinson though.
