Hey, this got me thinking about a friend from way back who got his
PhD in the history of science through one of the earliest distance
learning programs. His approach was very much different than
anything I had heard up to that point and thought it was *very*
hackerish, since most of his work was supervised by working
biologists rather than historians.<br>
<br>
The school that he was working with (I hesitate to say "attended"
because it's... a flexible program) was The Union Institute and
University, based out of Cincinnati. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.myunion.edu/">http://www.myunion.edu/</a><br>
<br>
When you describe your work, it sounds as much biology as food
science. Also a little bit of horticulture thrown in for good
measure. Most schools will support an interdisciplinary approach
like that, so finding people in the field that you admire and who
would take you on as your adviser is probably the most important
thing.<br>

within the hacker community for several years, my field is
food&beverage biotech. I wonder if people would know
places/universities which would be friendly to the alternative
topics like these. I've a project which I'm working on and off for
several years now and I want to move it further forward
considering it as a PhD project actually, you can find rough info
to get idea here<br>

believe that I can get most of the resources through crowdsourcing
and another alternative ways valuing my freedom than funds with
strings. This means that long distance and external supervisors
etc. are fine with me but still I need to find place which has the
"qualification" to give me the PhD. at the end. I'm Czech by the
way so EU should be more friendly for me and cheaper if I have to
pay.<br>

use alternative base/approach and fundings.<br>

master thesis in biotech and good recommendation from both
academic hacker community. The reason for the PhD. is partly
forcing myself to a more systematic approach and also using the
"possible PhD." to smoothen the ways to bring forward some of the
projects which lies ahead.<br>
