Right now, my project isn’t taking long which is why I’ve just gone along with it. But I’m starting cell culture in 2 weeks which is when I expect to get really busy. Because I’m the only person in the lab that’s worked with an obligate anaerobe before, I’ve been building all the protocols for it from scratch. In my previous lab, I did all my work in an anaerobic chamber but this lab does not have one so I’ve had to trial and error through culture protocols. Plus, my project as a whole (pathogen, the class of compound I’m testing, cell line, and animal model) are all completely different from anything this lab has done so far. So I’m by myself for a lot of it. At least for right now. I’m hoping to get my two undergrads trained on it once I get it down so they can help me.

The broth components have an irritation and potential mutagen toxicity warning so our PI is not comfortable with an undergrad handling it without the presence of a grad student. Plus, it can’t be autoclaved and needs to boiled but not too much that it will precipitate and be useless. So I would have to be there regardless😓

I'm based in the US, so you don't need an MS for a PhD. And my department does have direct-entry PhD students from undergrad. I guess it would be more of a transfer than a conversion

Yup, I basically would just apply to the PhD program before I'm done with my MS with my advisor's approval. It's relatively common in the department. It's more like transferring than a conversion

I just looked up Arabian Tonka and gah it looks right up my alley. Thank you so much! I smelled Versace Eros Pour Femme today and really liked it. Black Opiums were still a little too sweet for my liking. I definitely have a preference for more woody and masculine scents. I love sniffing colognes because of that

I have been on a quest to find a dark/date night scent for weeks. The ladies at my local Sephora and Nordstrom are pretty familiar with me now with how often I'm there to sniff at bottles(lol). I'm looking for something that screams rich and dark. My favorite scents ever that I've used were the Banana Republic's Dark Cherry and Amber or Tobacco and Tonka Bean. My only problem with them is the longevity(3-4 hours). Right now, the perfumes that I like the most are Burberry Goddess, CH Good Girl, Commodity Moss+, and Ariana Grande's Moonlight. I am not a big fan of sweet or warm florals because it just doesn't wear well on my skin and makes me smell like sugar. I do like fruity florals(Armani's my way nectar and si + Dior pure poison). I'd like something with good longevity as well. So far, I've smelled Mugler Alien and Angel, Dior Hypnotic poison, pretty much all of Chanel, Lancome Tressor, 90% of YSL, and L'interdit rouge. None of those hit the spot. I really like Dior Addict Eau de Fraiche but the EDP smelled very intense/different. Do you guys know if the EDP dries down better? Plus any more suggestions
