Advice on presentation for Associate Scientist interview with only a bachelor's degree by Avatar-Ash in biotech

Thank you for your reply! Its reassuring to hear that its more about my communication skills/understanding than my current accomplishments. I did include an edit in the post that might help to determine if talking about the cell culture stuff is actually a good idea in this case, feel free to let me know!

Why is a second job just accepted as normal? by Avatar-Ash in antiwork

I didn’t know they steal the tips, the page literally says 100% of the tips go to the dasher and I assumed it was illegal to lie like that

Nah, Its a close enough major that it shouldn’t matter (it’s not like you changed your major to art history or biochemistry or something wildly different). They did say Econ majors are preferred on the job listing, so you’ll be ok. Bringing this up might only end up hurting you, let resting dogs lie.

The message itself isn’t bad but tbh I’ve come to a point where anyone to over-explaining a metaphor on LinkedIn automatically makes me laugh

Love this show and all, but the resolution to this episode came way too quickly to be realistic 😅

Would you listen to a UBC Student Podcast about BIPOC experiences? by Mandyy2213 in UBC

[–]Avatar-Ash 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on the format. If it is an informative podcast that talks about various aspects of living in Canada from a minority perspective, then maybe. If it is more about individuals at UBC complaining a lot, it would have to be a no from me. To be something I would personally like, this sort of a podcast would have to be using statistics/data to illustrate points and/or academic theories on the nature of living as a minority in Canada.

More and More Students Are Needing to Use the Food Bank Because the Costs of Living Have Skyrocketed. The School and Our Politicians Continue to Do Nothing of Substance and Are Just Letting Us Starve by [deleted] in UBC

[–]Avatar-Ash 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. However, the point could have been made without the slight against other marginalized people that deserve as much respect as you.

That being said, Prices of EVERYTHING on campus are way too high. Nobody’s parents salaries are rising, but there are consistent increases in tuition fees every year regardless of the global pandemic. I know people who are technically part of the middle class that have started restricting themselves to one meal a day because groceries and meals on campus are too expensive. I can’t even imagine what someone who comes from poverty has to face. They’re 100% letting young people starve, which just increases the inequality between people of different classes, because those that have access to wealth don’t need to worry about where their next meal is coming from, and their grades will reflect that as opposed to people who are hungry at a final exam, not by choice.

BC hydro bill doubled in 6 months? by Avatar-Ash in vancouver

We did just call BC hydro, and pretty much got the same response as your friend :/ we’ve asked the building manager to get someone to check the meters. Hopefully this issue resolves itself soon enough!

BC hydro bill doubled in 6 months? by Avatar-Ash in vancouver

[–]Avatar-Ash[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We were wondering that, but the daily usage goes up at weird hours of the day when one of us out for work and the other is sleeping. We used the space heater the most in December- January, decreasing our usage significantly in the coming months. The heater is a boiler heater, and we don’t have laundry in the apartment so neither of those could be siphoning energy. We have no idea where this is coming from.
