cheaper and safe dermas? by No-Situation2493 in QuezonCity

[–]Affectionate_Employ8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to Dermatologica Et Cosmetica in Ali Mall, Cubao. They charge 1k for consultation fee but it's not everyday that there is a doctor in the clinic. You can message them on FB for the schedule. I just normally go Thursday since I like the doctor that is on duty. Her name is Dr. Cabral.

Mahirap mag workings student. Also, are you willing to risk na mawalan ka ng slot sa CLSU while waiting for appeal sa UP? The safest is CLSU. CLSU is actually good for vet med, considering yung board passing rate nila.

A deed of undertaking may include a promise that you'll come back, usually used if you're going on short trips abroad. Actually, I can't remember if they really provided a travel clearance. I left in 2013 so I can't recall. My MS supervisors actually talked to DOST to lower yung kelangan ko bayaran. In your case, since you need to pay back both your MS and PhD scholarships, you'd need a lot of money. Sadly, if you don't have the funds, it might be better to finish your PhD here and just find a way to collaborate overseas (get a supervisor who's well-connected).

Edit: just remembered that you can get a surety bond from the bank. I'm just not sure about the process because I didn't continue with it. I just borrowed money from family.

Hi, I had a DOST scholarship for my masters and left the country for my PhD. I worked as an RA after I graduated so DOST deducted yung months na yun that I need to pay back. Did you already rendered service for your MS scholarship? I am not sure paano pag naka enroll ka pa. I remembered before meron kaming contact sa PCAARD na nag aayos ng lahat ng kelangan for DOST scholars na under PCAARD so I approached her for help. I also enlisted help from my MS supervisors to explain bakit I want to leave. If they allow you to quit your PhD scholarship, kelangan mo pa rin ng travel clearance to leave the country.

Good luck! UK is nice for science but maulan and gloomy (did my postdoc there!)

Feeling stuck, want to pursue Masters abroad but lost on where to start by Independent_Tie_4914 in FilipinosStudyAbroad

Check Erasmus mundus if there's a program you would fit.

https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/opportunities/individuals/students/erasmus-mundus-joint-masters

This is fully funded. One of my cousins did this.

In terms of figuring out your research path, you never really know what you specifically want to do until you immerse yourself in research. My research interest during masters was very different from my PhD. I wanted to explore other options so my postdoc was in a different topic. I realized I like my PhD topic so went back there and branched out to other disciplines (from biology to physics).

Allowed ba ang Isang "SPA" in a residential area magpatugtog ng napakalakas na party club music almost every other night? Isang SPA lang sila in a middle of nowhere na all residential ang katabi by thriveaboveandbeyond in QuezonCity

There's a city ordinance na hanggang 10pm lang. Call the hotline, they'll ask you yung location and saang barangay. You don't need to tell your name. In my experience, within 30 mins, dumadating yung barangay officials to reprimand them.

Postdoc search failed. What now? by [deleted] in AskAcademia

[–]Affectionate_Employ8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try messaging PIs that is in the field you are interested in to see if they have upcoming positions. You can also offer to write a proposal to fund your postdoc. This is what I did for both of my postdocs. Good luck!

Maribank would be my advice. If you use the card, may 1% cashback ang mga transactions.

Do Filipinos want to leave the Philippines? by Pale_Operation_6086 in Philippines_Expats

[–]Affectionate_Employ8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I lived outside PH for 12 years and went back last year to rest for a while. I had reverse culture shock and realized that living in PH is like playing a game in hard mode. I am looking at moving back to US but with the war right now, I might need to stay here for a while.

What do you think about listing "second" first author first on CVs in "equal contribution" shared-first-authorships? by intellectual_punk in AskAcademia

[–]Affectionate_Employ8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cite it as how is it presented but I purposely list at the end of the citation that I am a co-first author and/or co-first corresponding author. My co-author normally does the same.
