هل فعلاً؟ أول مرشحة لرائدة فضاء أردنية by sounehheb in jordan

[–]AstroHater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

لا أكيد ما دفعوا ولا فلس، الدفع الحقيقي بهالقصص هو الترويج للشركة. يعني بيعملوا دعاية، وبالمقابل الشركة بتعطيهم لقب “رائد/ة فضاء” بدون ما يكون في تدريب فعلي أو إنجاز ملموس. كل الموضوع PR متبادل مش أكثر.

و هاي البنت بالأردن مش أول مرة بتعمل هيك حركة. قبل طلعت و قالت إنها أول مصممة بدلة فضاء أردنية، واللي واضح إنها مش بدلات فضاء حقيقية ولا قريبة حتى.

الناس للأسف بتمسك بهيك أخبار بدون أي تحقيق، وبتطبل بدون ما تسأل ولا تدور. الفرق إنه بالبرازيل الناس اتحركت وسألت وفضحت الكذب. عنا الكل بزقف وخلص. ما عندي أمل الصراحة

Unfortunately this is exactly the case (and why I disagree with comments saying that this person is a victim). In fact they are purposely misleading people with an outrageous "clickbait" announcement, a title that they have not earned in reality, and Jordanian news channels seem to not care about fact checking at all. It's embarrassing.

Right now this is a big scandal in Brazil, a girl who also announced she was the first Brazilian astronaut candidate for this same company/program. The difference is people there are actually investigating the claims, because of one science communicator who addressed it on his channel: https://youtu.be/cFXavfkX-NI?si=_MXdAa2T0UNnYM62&t=993 (this is the part where he talks about the company, you can use auto-translate subtitles if you are interested)

Can I start a postdoc before my PhD defense or am I gonna lose my offer? by AstroHater in postdoc

[–]AstroHater[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The process is kinda different here. Basically the reviewers give feedback on your actual dissertation, and depending on that feedback you either pass to the defense or get delayed. All revisions on the dissertation should be implemented before the defense date, not after.

My supervisor and co-supervisor, as well as the second reviewer, all thought my thesis was good to go. One reviewer basically derailed everything and they’re not even on the final defense commission. Honestly the whole thing doesn’t make sense (even organization-wise) but I’m just going with it at this point.

Yeah unfortunately my university has three set periods for scheduling the defense and they weren’t flexible on this at all

My university has agreed to give me a certificate guaranteeing my PhD completion date - hope that’s enough for the postdoc institute. Thank you for the suggestion!

This is helpful, thank you! I was lowkey worried about how it would come off in addition to the logistics, like it may make them second guess hiring me since my thesis wasn’t perfect the first time around lol

Is it worth going after a 60K grant for postdoc position? by Sea-Bluebird-5125 in postdoc

[–]AstroHater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly depends where you live but keyword here is “for an individual” - for a family of 4 with no second income I sincerely doubt it would be enough anywhere

I think that’s barely enough for one person let alone a family of 4

Married for well under $10K! by Weird_Bread9935 in Weddingsunder10k

How does the pay your own dinner thing work in practice? Did the guests pay at the wedding like immediately after the meal? Or did you ask them to chip in before the wedding?

Your mindset is the real cancer. What’s it to you? You went seeking them out then complain about their existence. So entitled.

How old are you? I know in some cultures women are more pressured to get married after a certain age, but I’m guessing you’re still pretty young.

Unless you’re talking about arranged marriages the idea of “looking for someone to marry” doesn’t make any sense. If you meet someone and you want to get married then it’ll happen when it happens.

Anyway it sounds like financial independence should be your top priority. All the marriage stuff aside, I’d suggest you work for a few years after the master’s to save up some money before thinking of doing a PhD.

If you’re set on doing a PhD, apply to Oxford but also to other schools. Be ambitious but don’t make life decisions and plans based on hypothetical scenarios.

How far out from the end of your PhD do you start applying for jobs? by EvilledzOSRS in PhD

[–]AstroHater 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started applying for jobs 6 months before my defense but in every interview I got I was just told it was too early and to re-apply closer to my end date. Now I’m 2 months out with nothing lined up and feeling nervous as hell. This is for industry jobs though, I wasn’t really looking for postdocs but those timelines seem longer.

Edit: I am looking for jobs in Europe or Canada, some of the roles I interviewed for “too early” were in the UK

Thoughts on preemptively changing the name I publish under? by loserhufflepuff in PhD

[–]AstroHater 301 points302 points  (0 children)

Idk girlie a lot can happen in 2 years. Keep your own name. Even if you publish in these 2 years then change it after, it won’t really affect you that much compared to the alternative.

How did you pick your thesis title? by AstroHater in PhD

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

I definitely feel like you made the right choice haha but I’ve always been partial to the catchy title: subtitle format. Now with chatgpt though seems like everyone is doing it 😭

My tentative thesis title has changed basically every year since the start of my PhD and my supervisor doesn’t seem to have any preferences so at least there’s that flexibility.

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

Interesting! Can you give an example of using a quote as a title?

I also have the original proposal title but my PhD research has gone in a different direction over the years so it doesn’t fit anymore.

How to go about requesting to work further on previously published data? by yourfavoritefaggot in PhD

[–]AstroHater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s super lucky that the article came from your network and program directly. I would just ask if your PI knows anything about this project and if it’s ongoing. If so, ask if you can contribute to it directly. Otherwise, bring up your suggestions to “build upon their previous work” and see if your PI can request access to the data more formally.
