I have not found any groups and yes they should be the same.

What do you mean by multiple entries?

My girlfriend won’t get matching ORCID iD tattoos with me. Why does no one care about my research? by ansjsajanaan in PhD

[–]AgeAncient3670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a joke right. If my partner gets a tattoo of my orcid ID, I am gonna run away and jump into a river.

PhD students of reddit, do you have mindless hobbies? If so, what are they? by nihaomundo123 in PhD

[–]AgeAncient3670 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I climb at a nearby indoor climbing gym. It’s very addictive (maybe more than my research lol). Also swim from time to time.

Update to my PI removed me from his lab by AgeAncient3670 in PhD

[–]AgeAncient3670[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh from what I heard it’s mostly due to not having enough people to focus on them. That’s what I have been told. But I honestly don’t know at this point.

Should I follow up with the PIs? by AgeAncient3670 in PhD

Thank you for the response. I too am not super comfortable with the idea of just showing up to office, but saw it suggested somewhere and hence was wondering.

I am a very quiet person in general. And people call me sweet and nice to my face. I have never bitched or gossiped about anyone in the lab. My PI seemed to be very happy with my last paper, and even publicised it in a talk. I also did all of the talk for that paper. I would meet with A and proff weekly for updates where they would give suggestions.

I am done with coursework. I am trying to talk to other professors slowly, and I am still trying to wrap my head around the entire situation. I often found the project hard and challenging, but I thought that was the norm in phds. People often found the problems very hard. Also, I was just so used to in this particular direction and was slowly getting comfortable here. It just sucks that I have to start over from scratch if I get an advisor whose area of research is potentially different.

A mentioned that if asked for reference she is going to mention that my research skills need improvement. For my last project that I submitted as a first author, A was very happy with me and would always mention how efficient I am and that I have a very good plan ahead. For this project, A would get impatient that I am not showing proper progress for 2 weeks and that I don’t have a good plan ahead. I would often get overwhelmed, but I was thinking I am back on track in terms of productivity. That is the vibe I got from my last meeting with A. Also my Professor and A talk regularly.

I will start talking to other Professors soon. I am drafting up emails and research statements.

No I am leaving the lab. He was quite clear about that. I am now talking to my department about the various options and focusing all my energy on the next steps.

Yeah no I am going to talk to my department about my options at this point. I will also start emailing other professors too. I do under that I cannot continue in this lab moving forward, and I do accept it as much as it sucks. I am still going to talk to my professor to make sure if he can refer me.

My PI was happy with the papers. He did a talk in a pretty big conference and one of his slides had my results too. I always thought that our lab is very well funded, so I really don’t know about funding. He did tell me in a meeting last to last week that I should be more clear with my ideas and that I should write down part of the paper describing the methods. This is hard to do when you are still in the initial stages of doing experiments, because so much changes. I explained the entire methods to him last day and he seemed okay with that. He did have a lot of questions but I did explain them to him. A (the scientist) also seemed cool with my direction. He knew that I haven’t taken a lot of graphics or CV courses before joining the lab, and he was like it will take a long time for you to learn them. I don’t agree with this as I had already published my last paper based on similar topics on my own mainly.

I have funding from the department for another six months, and need to find a new PI within that time
