I have too much already on my plate – much of it covid-related.

Don’t really have much free time until June. It’s also not my area of expertise.

Same. My thesis project has, maybe, collapsed due to the pandemic, and I really don’t want to be stuck in grad school forever. Sorry.

All good reasons not to do it.

Sorry to hear that, I can’t imagine how difficult it is for some graduate students right now, like those who need to work in the lab but can’t. I’m one of the fortunate ones whose work hasn’t been affected at all.

Thanks. It’s okay. I’m more fortunate than many as most of my work is computational. However, we were gearing up for a large(ish) amount of sequencing, and I don’t know when or if that will now be possible. I’ll have other options for my project if the sequencing doesn’t prove feasible, but my dissertation may have to look very different than I was planning.
