Maria O’Hanlon (@abioblog) Biology PHD Student Researching Parkinson’s Disease in Fruit Flies Based in the United Kingdom What is your job? I am a second year Biology PhD student at Teesside University, based at the National Horizons Centre researching the roles of mitochondria in Parkinson’s disease using a fruit fly model. Although it can seem confusing, completing a PhD is essentially a job, because even though we are called students, completion of it all requires full-time research. PhD programmes in the UK are typically funded for 3-4 years, and I have just started my second year – so this is my job for the next few years!
