Our panel today are talking about 'Thesis Writing', and by the end of the discussion we hope listeners will be inspired, perhaps realise they are not alone, have a few new ideas on approach and most importantly will be itching to get back to writing as opposed to finding every chore under the sun to do as a way of getting out of it (that includes looking at Facebook, cat videos, pairing socks and staring out of the window).

Adam Smith (who is unable to ever keep recordings down to 30 minutes) talks with Dr Marianne Coleman, a research Orthopist from the University of Surrey, Dr Josie Jenkinson a Consultant Psychiatrist from Surrey and Maxine Mackintosh, a PhD student from UCL.

PS did you know the word Thesis comes from the Greek for "something put forth”.
