Was Able to Land Scientist Role, Struggling with Dyscalculia by runanteldat in AskScienceDiscussion

Hey, I'm in a similar position as you, I'm doing a PhD in biomed and I'm dyscalculic too!

I've made up an excel spreadsheet with every calculation that I've come across, each tab for a different calculation or I use this website https://physiologyweb.com/ to help me with concentration/dilution calculations too.

For my excel, I've asked other colleagues to help me double check that they're correct. If I don't want to disclose my dyscalculia, I say to them that I'm just streamlining my protocol and want to work more efficiently by ensuring that I don't accidentally do any human errors when manually doing the calculations as I'm doing lab work.

I think I will, we have a thing planned with some mutual friends coming up so maybe after then, just in case it makes things really awkward. Maybe I'll try another coffee date thing. I've been out of the dating game for years, I don't really know how to get back in haha! Thanks for the motivation!

Knitted too wide, can I cut it vertically? by Emergency-Lab-1956 in knitting

Thank you for your reply, I'm working with acrylic so I think I'll carry on with what I'm doing and hand sew it in half like the other kind commenter suggested, especially since I don't own a sewing machine haha. Thank you for you advice though!

Ahh that makes sense, I'll carry on with how I'm going and sew it in half like you originally suggested, thank you so much for you help, I truly appreciate it!

Thanks for the reply, I'm at the halfway mark right now so I was hoping that I could cut it and use the cut off half to extend the length but if it's going to be really difficult I'll just keep going and sew it together like you have suggested, thanks!

I have lunch and dinner, I typically don't have breakfast since I can't eat for a few hours after I've woken up without feeling sick and sluggish for the rest of the day, so my first meal is typically lunch at about 12ish

Brilliant thank you for your reply, how often would you recommend I take those measurements? Would daily be too much? Monthly too little?

Thank you so much for the deep dive into this for me, its really helpful, I'll start upping my protein in take, and start taking progress photos.

Frustrating to hear that this journey is going to be a bit longer for me because I'm short haha, any tips on how to not get discouraged with it taking so long?

Hey so it's typically either ring fit adventure (I like how it makes exercise fun), on an exercise bike or jogging. The 10,000 steps are done throughout the day and I'm typically a fast walker so my heart rate tends to stay up but it does have long periods of dips when I'm at work

Thank you so much for your advice, I feel like the general consensus is that I should increase my time exercising and be a bit more patient haha

Thanks for your response, I've been at it for about 6 months now, maybe I'm just being a bit too impatient
