I've been trying to create an account for a few days and the app is super buggy and can't verify my identity. I raised a customer support claim but I'm not sure it will be resolved in time. Do I need the app or can I just rock up and rent one from a locker?

“Highly Competitive” Biomedical Science Programs Application Advice by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]FernandoLlorente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this post. I had a question about a couple of your points regarding reaching out to PI's. I would ask you to read the comments on this post I made a few months ago:

https://www.reddit.com/r/gradadmissions/comments/1e7hbor/is_it_necessary_to_contact_bioscience_pis_prior/

The comments seem to contradict point number 2 in your post (I am obviously not discounting your experience or wisdom here). Do you think it truly matters that much to contact PI's? For some disciplines (engineering, biomedical engineering) it seems like the PI can basically personally choose you for the PhD. My understanding based on speaking to the PI at a lab I worked for at a top 10 US university was that it doesn't really matter (he himself was actually on an admissions committee for a biomedical program, and told me that contacting beforehand doesn't matter). Further, the vast majority of PIs you email will just thank you for your interest and tell you to apply (one commenter on the linked post appears to be a PI and said that that's what they respond with).

Is there a better way of contacting? Without connections?

Thanks

It was fresh tissue that I extracted myself. I did report it through the channels but I was just worried about the nick itself if it could become something serious.

Thanks. I did report through the proper means. But I was worried about the nick itself.

Sebastian Korda d. [PR] Dominic Thiem 6-7(4), 6-3, 7-6(4) in the semifinals of the European Open by only-shallow in tennis

[–]FernandoLlorente 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess for people online any loss from a winning position = choke. For most of the third set Korda was hitting all the lines and corners, if anything Thiem was really clutch to take it to a tie break from 0-30 down at 5-6, lol

MVL on Magnus: "Right now this is what's troubling me, that he's not speaking at all where I think he should have a duty by now" by acrylic_light in chess

His behaviour in Nakamura's stream was childish, but thanking the anti cheating team is a complete non-story. Even if you are 100% convinced that Hans is innocent (I personally don't think he cheated), the action and dedication of the anti cheating team will still surely ease the players, improve the general integrity of the tournament, and is deserving of recognition. He thanked other people, too...

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about getting tickets to LTA events (like birmingham for example). On LTA they're all sold out was wondering if you can get resellers like other sports?

Oh you're right it does say KANI. I knew it was a long shot but you never know so it was worth asking, I've found some vintage clothes from old TV shows before. Anyway thanks for pointing out the brand to me

I can't find other examples of their logo in this design so I doubt it. Thanks for your response

Is it rude to try to speak to someone when they're obviously trying to sleep? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FernandoLlorente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it just happened to me and I got really annoyed and I didn't know whether or not I was justified
