@edmundmcmillen@edmundmcmillen if you want out of the box how about some scientific illustrations/ diagrams. I'll draw then label + annotate whatever is in front of me. Isaacs brain, his tear ducts, the Duke of flies and name each fly, I might even do a figure legend and propose a mechanism.
@Colm12Colm Minimum age, more money, industry funded internal programmes, proper vetting of supervisors are some ideas.
Maybe youre lucky, but I would say not really because you assessed what you were getting into and weighed it's pros and cons rather than just falling into the 'next step'.
@Colm12Colm PhDs open up jobs that value creative,independent thinking but sacrifices a lot. Financially, a PhD typically doesnt return the investment vs working straight after an undergrad. At its worst,supervisors/systematic problems prey on intelligent, naive candidates for cheap labour.
@Colm12Colm Delighted youre enjoying yourself Colm thats all that matters. You thought it out and made that assessment despite the bleak narrative.
My opinion is PhD positions are taken by people who haven't thought through the process and whether it even lines up with their wants/needs.
@RCSIPharmBioMol@My_Green_Lab @GreenRCSIPhys @IrishTimes @niamh_connolly @RCSI_Irl@PhysiologyRCSI Thank you to the hard work of students and staff the last 2 years that actively challenged our lab waste culture from the ground up all the meetings, bottle scrubbing, icepack lifting, polystyrene collecting etc etc, does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.
If you're one of my 300 or whatever posts i get to see you better make it good. I'll be reporting all posts that dont make me laugh. God speed #imjudgingyouall
@EMPSEB28 @paseycatmore @SBSatEd I have questions about interspecific competition in burying beetles, if you would be so kind to provide an email address I would forward those questions on.
Delighted to share a pre print of my work looking at the intersection of inflammation, glycolysis and thrombosis. Thanks to all our collaborators for contributing to this exciting story! @rogerjspreston@PrestonLab_RCSI@RCSIPharmBioMol@IrishCtrVascBio https://t.co/6xQJ9TbzMr
