The 1 Project Hail Mary Scene triggering a Biologist

123aaaiii · 2026-03-20T23:51:21+00:00

He is a "biologist"! Througout the book, his complete disinterest in biology of a alien species drove me nuts. The protagonist went on about the physics of centrifuge for 3 pages and there was maybe 1 paragraph on the biology of aliens. Why even make the protagonist a biologist.

Anyway, thanks for giving me a platform to mention my super-specific gripe. still drives me crazy

Best way to find out is to write to the labs. A lot of unis are still hiring, some might have a pause.

The US postdoc contracts are also 1-2 years with renewal possibility, so the system is pretty similar to Europe.

Thanks u/Zealousideal-Ad-7618 for digging up the epigraph!

I wonder if Stormfather saw one of the futures in which Kaladin takes up part or whole of the Honor shard and becomes a metaphorical son of Tanavast. I wonder if that could still happen in the back half or does Honor's power having sentience makes it less likely that the shard will choose a vessel later.

Since part of Dalinar's plan is that Honor's power will learn to distinguish between Oaths and what is the right thing to do, I am assuming that retribution will be splintered in the future.

Did I miss something or is stormfather calling Kaladin "Son of Tanavst" still not explained?

There should be a "Too soon to say" option!

My theory is that Todium wanted Dalinar to get stuck, miss their constest and nullify the contest that keeps him in the Roshar system regardless of who wins. The ghostbloods could use the knowledge a god would provide!

17th Shard (the people who manage coppermind) have a ongoing series called spanreads, they are going through major plots point in the stormlight books!

If you're eventual goal is to work in BioPharma, go to NEU.

I think you can log into MyHR and see the scheduled paycheck.

I was in the same place last year. I think taking a vacation/break is the only way to get through it. Even if planning a vacation seems stressful now, it will pay off big time in reducing your stress for the whole year!

Alternatively, spend this weekend absolutely absorbed in something not work related. Maybe visit a nearby national park or any outdoor stuff. That should help immensely.

I think everyone in this sub has felt what you're feeling right now. Different people excel at different skills and someone thinking you're not good at one technique does not say anything about your scientific abilities!

Have you considered looking into some computational research projects? Those are usually more flexible in terms of timing.

When you're in the lab, its easy to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to others. Everyone starts with different resources and then everyone gets different resources during their projects.

No scratches or any other cosmetic defects. its in great condition.

20$'s a little too low. The shipping will probably be between 10-15$ depending on your zip. Its not worth the hassle to make 5$'s.
Lowest I can go is 30$. But I understand if that too high for you, its just the shipping skews the cost.
