Yes, I read about this. It is good news, it will allow older women to have IVF treatment with a lower risk of birth defects. It isn't three parents as you would imagine though as only two parties are passing on any genetic material, so whether it could be determined as three parents is really down to the definition.

Yeah I was in the pub with my mates tonight and we realised just how old 22 is lol. Out of the seven of us there, four of us were teachers, two were in their full time vocation of choice (One of whom has just bought a house) and me who's doing a joint masters to PhD... My mate brought up the point that this is pretty much it now, we're becoming old. But I know when I'm 30+, I'll look back at being 22 and wish I was that young again, so I guess it's all good lol. What's your major? I'm hoping to start a research project for PhD that is to develop anti-occlusion techniques for live Chromakey based production. I'll be looking at developing stereoscopic production methods, live human - CGI interaction techniques and whole load of other stuff too. It would mostly be computer programming for four years. But I'm still waiting for project approval, which is really nerve racking. LOL, I have no idea what those topics mean... But good luck in your research. I always wondered, how long does it take to get your PhD after Master's? And is there a minimum length requirement for your thesis?

In the UK a PhD typically takes 3-4 years (usually 4 in science by the time you've actually submitted your thesis). As for minimum length, it depends on how your thesis is submitted. There are usually 2 options, either submitting a whole thesis based on chapters or submitting by papers. If it's by papers you usually expect to contain between 3 and 5. I have no idea on length for a normal chapters based thesis.

Wow... seems like a lot of research. I was just wondering about the length because I saw some of the theses at my university and they're fucking thick (~300 pages).
