I was so confused at first because I thought you were already like halfway through your PhD and then I read the rest of your sentence :). Are you doing your Master's and PhD at the same institution?

Thanks for the advice! All the courses I'm taking this semester are very foundational, and I'm super excited about it. Plus I might (crosses fingers) be in a program where I take a couple extra courses and collaborate on projects with comp sci students over the first year. I'd love to make connections with CS people regardless, but this would be an easy way to do that :)

I actually started in the US, but when my advisor moved to the UK, I took a terminal Master's. Now I'm starting a 3-year PhD in the UK. I'm pretty excited, though it was quite a curveball when my advisor announced he was leaving!

Wow, crazy move! Glad to hear it worked out so you could move with your advisor :)
