      I am finishing this project in September, but there will still be more work to be done on it after I have gone

      Mine is a 3 year thing – I’m a PhD “Student” but it’s more like having a job than being a student. I have 3 main projects on the go and all of them should be finished actually pretty soon – I’m almost 2 years into my PhD. Then I’ll start the next set of things that’ll be handed down to our newer PhD student sometime. It’s always a rolling process.

      Well, the whole project will be launched into Space in 2014. but I will have probably finished my aprt by end of 2012 and be working on the next mission! Even so – it’s a long time (for me 4 years) to be working on one thing, so let’s hope that it works!

      My PhD project will come to an end in September 2011. Until then I will have studied the topic for 4 years. (Seems a long time but the first 3 years are almost over now and they seem to have vanished sooo quickly!)

      Well, I have two more years in my PhD to do everything I can on this project. Usually these kinds of projects don’t really “end” so much as get passed on. There is so much we can learn about bats, Ghana, bushmeat, human-animal contact…you get the idea. It’s not going to “finish” any time soon 😉
