Greetings

Hello everyone. I just came across ECR today because I follow eLife on Twitter and I subscribe to receive their emails. I think ECR is a fabulous initiative. I am from Uganda and I am working on starting my Ph.D. journey next year in January. As I prepare myself for visa applications, I am also coming up with a solid plan for my first year. I will have a talk with my supervisor soon but I would also like to find out from ECR members about what you guys believe is critical for one to think about and schedule in their first year as a PhD researcher.
