PhDay 30: one month as a PhD student done

Wow a lot of stuff has been going on. I've made friends already. I've been on an experiment already. Got a vague plan for the future and a list of potential directions to go in for my project.

Things I've learnt:

Higher year PhD students are very nice and welcoming

Parties are great for making friends even if you're socially awkward

Travelling for research is cool and not as bad as pre-travel anxiety makes you fear

Being trans in a physics department/research environment is fine. The research centre abroad didn't mind I had a different name on my passport

You can actually dive right in and be respected as a part of academia as a total newbie if you will yourself to have confidence

No one knows fully what they are doing, they only know some bits of what they're doing. You learn one bit at a time.
