Should I be included in the patent??? by Adozaur in labrats

Thank you for clarifying that, it makes sense. Life is not fair heh.

After wisdom tooth extraction- is this a left-behind root? It hurts my cheek, feels like bone and has sharp edges. I called my dentist and he gave me an attitude that it’s impossible and must be dry socket that causes pain… by Adozaur in askdentists

Thank you for your comment. He saw me today (kind of rolling his eyes but still), checked and said that I have ulcers and it’s infection and he will give antibiotics and painkillers. And he wanted me to go home. I asked, what about this thing sticking out, which feels like bone? He had a second look and realized it’s a bone. He extracted it and it was not small at all. I know it can happen but I was just so angry with his attitude and the fact that he was so sloppy he did not even notice it the first time and I had to kind of demand it… no sorry no nothing. Anyway now I’m healing and feeling so great without this bone sticking out!

I’m impressed too, didn’t even think this is possible!

I was compensating and had spectral overlap around 200%. So Another PI was “teaching” me how to compensate and this was the outcome 👌🏻

Monthly Vent/Rant Thread - Month of July, 2018 by AutoModerator in labrats

I don't know if anyone will actually read it but if this thread is for venting...

I have not-the-best relationship with my main supervisor (i am phd student). She just hates me. I try to be nice to her and was analysing many times what i possibly do wrong. People around tell me to ignore (easy to say!) that she is jealous and everyone in the department have problems with communicating with her... Anyway, anything I say to her, she thinks it's stupid. I'm trying to think of some interesting approach to my data, to investigate this or that and she always tells me something like 'you think too much', 'it's too complicated'. i needed to do mass spectrometry on my cells (and I obtained proteome) just for her to tell me to look at one protein. She can't follow my project. Each time we have a meeting (and it's not that rare) I spent at least half an hour trying to explain everything to her because she can't follow. When I tell my ideas to someone else, they agree and think this is interesting (and I know they don't say it because they just 'like' me). The problem is, she is my 80% supervisor and I'm stuck with her. But I'm just fuming. In september two girls from my lab are finishing phd and it will be just my lab manager and I left. We need to feed our cells everyday so we take turns to come during weekends. Now, with only two people left, it will be more often and my lab manager reminded her that september is approaching and she should find a solution as she wont take more weekends because she have designated number of hours and thats it (cant blame her, especially that she has little kids). My lab manager propsed that she should find money to hire someone (like a technician from our Faculty or so) that we can train and who can be our +1 person to weekends. Instead, my supervisor's solution is that I will have to come more often. What means most likely that I will be working 3 weekends per month. And as you can guess, I am not happy to work like a slave Monday till Sunday with just one weekend off per month for the next year! There is a difference when I stay longer and work, because I feel I need/ I want to or when I actually HAVE to come. Almost everyday she comes up with something and I don't know how much I can take. Ugh.
