If you don’t sit in your car for at least 20 minutes before walking into the lab, are you even a Ph.D. Student?
Slaying PhD viva tip 2: Examiners don’t come to your PhD viva with the intention to fail you, and most of the time they ask you questions because they are genuinely interested so take that as an opportunity to have fruitful discussions @AcademicChatter
