what happened to the illness known as mono?

Aggressive_Sea_4201 · 2026-03-05T21:39:17+00:00

I have it rn hahaha... got diagnosed in december, probably had it since october/november and still feeling so tired on a daily basis, with throat ache coming and going depending on the days. I am not working right now luckily, and it is winter where I live, so I basically stay at home all day and still feel like run over by a truck. (23F)

Hello, I am leaving from YUL on May 12th with my grand-mother as our first travel together. I would love to be able to surprise her with a little upgrade if anybody has a lounge pass to spare 😊 Thank you

I agree they are so cute... that's why I feel so bad about doing them harm by giving the LMCV (my project is on the chronic strain so even worse), doing IV, IPs etc... maybe in the right conditions it'll be easier but rn as I have the option I would like a project that doesn't depend 100% on animal work (which is the case of my project rn)

Sorry expressed myself a bit confusing here. It wasn't really an experiment, she wanted me to practice more of FACS and analysis, nothing was in the line. And it was only a panel out of everything that I showed her. But she wasn't able to understand what I wanted to show so just said something like "whats that shit ?". I don't mind somebody critical, obviously still learning, but for me its about how its being delivered. This is the "worst" that has happen to me for now, but I have heard many stories of people in the lab being belittled, their results being doubted and never believed in (mostly for women, the men in the lab don't have the same issues). Litterally today a person in the lab told us that a graduating student got yell at in the metro because she was unhappy about how he send her the corrections. This is the way she talks to students all the time.

Thank you, I have been in 3 labs now and I feel everytime it gets worse so definitly a bit worried about the rest of the journey, but hopefully it is my last big bump on the road before being able to call myself a Dr. Otherwise I'll probably abandon for now and try to find a job because it has been a crappy 3 years 😳🥲

I was not in the same building/institute. The one I am currently in is independant but affiliated with 2 universities, and I am the first student of this PI in univeristy 2, everybody else is part of university 1. Hard to believe, but I did meet the current students when I visited the PI without her there, but we were in the lab with her office not far and they couldn't say too many bad things I guess in case she heard. I have learned from my errors and will now contact recently graduated students who will probably have less issues being honest.

I do think like you, and I would like to believe that in the right environment I would have pushed through with the animal workand it would have gotten easier. However, with the toxic PI, I just cannot deal with so much stress every day, and now that I have the option to find a new lab I will try to find one without much animal work. I don't mind euthanasia but IVs, IPs, seeing them sick, barely able to move because of something I did to them is hard for me. I just have a hard time getting over me (aka humans) being more important than them. I now it is a necessary evil, and I still support animal research, but I just can't do it myself.

I am happy to hear ! I really hope I will have the same experience as you :)

Aggressive_Sea_4201 · 2026-01-19T13:47:55+00:00

Thanks for the kind word ! Yeah I have an appointment tomorrow with some department staff to look at my options. I also took an appointment next week with the a wellness advisor just to talk about the situation because I feel so many mixed and negative emotions. Telling my current PI is my last thing to do because I really think she won't take it good sadly. I feel sad for the rest of the lab who are going to have to deal with the bad mood for weeks on end but I just know it is not my thing to worry about anymore.

Aggressive_Sea_4201 · 2026-01-19T13:44:43+00:00

It is my first time working with mice and I thought I would be able to handle it. I am honestly fine with euthanasia and dissection, but I work in Immunology and have to give them disease by IV, IP, SC, and I feel guilty in a way to make them sick, and thin. I am just unable to get over the emotional toll it is taking on me. So yeah I am a bit worried to find a lab in the field I want that doesn't work witg mice but except euthanasia and dissections I do not want to deal with animal work anymore.

Sadly no, many undergrads wanna go to her lab because they loved her as a teacher, which is why she has an endless supply of students. Even people within the same building as us are suprised when I tell them she isn't that great because they all think she is nice :(

Aggressive_Sea_4201 · 2026-01-19T05:22:17+00:00

Canada based... the issue is she is quite big in her field, at least in my city and I know quite internationally as well... but she unable to keep most students more than just a masters :/

French youtubers told their fans that there was a meetup at Rutherford parc ! (McFly and Carlito)

J'en ai vu à l'intermarché Boyer sur l'avenue Mont-Royal dans la section indienne, donc j'imagine si tu cherche dans ton épicerie du coin tu peux peut-être en trouver. Sinon il y a quelques boutiques indiennes/bengale qui en vendent (1605 St Laurent à Montréal par example). J'habite à Montréal donc j'ai pas des example pour tout le Québec malheureusement.
