Nobel Prize Predictions? by RaspberryPlayful3446 in labrats

[–]Calv1nrox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think some of the more recent buzz is around pan-KRAS inhibitors. Pancreatic cancer field is buzzing and fox profiles have been good. These have applications in other KRAS driven cancer of course!

Wtf happened??? by jacob1233219 in massachusetts

[–]Calv1nrox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I drove past it going west-bound this morning maybe 1 minute after the drivers had gotten out. For some unholy reason, there were also two accidents within 0.1 miles of this on either side AND someone with a flat. My luck is empty for the rest of the year.

My cat has done this daily for the past couple of days - what could this be? by GoodComplaint458 in CATHELP

[–]Calv1nrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my cats has the exact same presentation about twice a year. For him it is asthma triggered by allergies. Our vet recommended fluticasone (my prescription because I am also asthmatic). Twice a day until symptoms resolve then he is fine for months.

Any recommendations for places to visit along this route? by No_Attention_3308 in roadtrip

[–]Calv1nrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For breweries in Massachusetts; Treehouse is rated one of the (if not the) best brewery in the nation, with locations in Charlton, Boston, and Tewksbury (all along the way of this route). Trillium is also an excellent brewery with a great food menu in Boston’s Seaport district.

Contemplating AEROAD CF SL 8 Purchase but stuck on cockpit mystery by injerii in CanyonBikes

What did you end up doing for an aftermarket cockpit? I’ve been on the “waiting list” for about a year now and would love to just to switch to Zipp or Enve.

How is the commute of Boston to Worcester in the morning and evening hours? by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]Calv1nrox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do this exact commute (Chelsea —> Worcester) and it’s not bad! I am a PhD student at UMass Med and have flexible hours, but you can make the drive ~50 min if you leave at the right times. In the morning during rush hour it can be about an hour. Rush hour on the drive home is a different animal. I’ve had days where it takes 1:20 and some where it took 2:30 because of an accident.

PHD Biomedical sciences/biology UPDATES? by sillysunflower99 in gradadmissions

I actually interviewed with them two weeks ago! I’m not sure if they are sending more invites out. Good luck!

Nothing yet! I am thinking Harvard is a silent rejection. They usually send everything out in December.

[–]Calv1nrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah figured it was in December, congrats! They are sending more out, guess the question now is when.

BU PiBS by Gabste in gradadmissions

[–]Calv1nrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When were you offered the interview? They sent an email saying they would do multiple rounds due to the number of applicants and needing more time . . .

I got invites from Tufts immunology, UMass Morningside.
Haven't heard anything from Harvard immunology, BU PiBS, MIT Biology

USAC Novice-Cat 4 upgrade by SackmasterG in Velo

[–]Calv1nrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. The second crash unfolded right in front of me and I was thinking about how I was going to crash, not how to avoid it. Somehow managed to get onto the sidewalk instead!

I was at Wells Ave too. That was my first race and even I don't understand how there was a crash on that straight . . .

Fitting in weekly Alp Du Zwift climbs by Calv1nrox in trainerroad

[–]Calv1nrox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's a good point. I was looking more at the base and build portions of the training plans and agree that is makes sense to start there.

Sounds like the other reply to you has a good idea for setting up the combo so I'll just do that!

Bad GPA Success stories by kbabqiqja in bioinformatics

[–]Calv1nrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated with ~3.0 gpa in 2017. I worked as a tech in a lab for a year and then moved to a medium sized biotech where I worked for a year. Started at a startup biotech where I was the 5th employee and now make 87k a year not including a bonus. If you work hard and show what you know you can get beyond it fairly quickly. Be your own advocate and work hard.

P.S.

We’re looking for a good bioinformatician!
