      I love your science background! Do you have any ideas for what we can do to save our struggling PhD candidates this year? Candidates are unable to apply for fifth year extensions (and I never met a science candidate who took less than five years!)

      The time limits differ depending on the type of degree. Most Ph.Ds take 4-6 yrs & usually are set by the graduate school. Most schools go by credit hours and not years, most affected will be student athletes.

      Of more concern are those that were in the middle of time sensitive research/experiments.

      I could see this derailing a lot of theses and dissertations.

      What is your experience? Some of my friends still have labs doing research and others shutdown.

      When I was in the lab, most of my work involved interventions with older adults. There’s no way to keep collecting data in that group. If this had happened during my dissertation, it would have cost me a semester at minimum unless I could use previously collected data.

          Mine would have been derailed as well. I see quite a few of the labs with clinical connections adding COVID studies. That keeps you doing research but not progressing on your dissertation.
