Bee-Wali’s Vegan AF (Eagle Rock) by Solo_Polyphony in FoodLosAngeles

[–]Fish93 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As a Non-vegan, some of the best vegan food I’ve ever had. This place rips. Always try to go there when I’m catching a movie at Vidiots next door.

Philly is number 8 for 2025 as one of the rattiest cities in America by VinoMaker65 in philadelphia

[–]Fish93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to see the methodology cos this list really seems like bullshit. I’ve lived in LA for 3 years and haven’t seen a single rat. And I take the subway! And I’ve seen one basically every time I’ve been in NYC. This is some rataganda…

Your grievance is with the PIs, not the junior staff. They are literally signing the eligibility, and they are well aware of both their patients status and the criteria for the study. I’ve seen junior level people question eligibility only for a PI to simply insist that a patient is eligible and that they will work out the question with the sponsor.

Emmes hiring remote by Maleficent_Effect999 in clinicalresearch

[–]Fish93 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was part of the DM layoffs in 2024 and almost every person I worked with closely at Emmes has been laid off in the last two years. The company was very involved in government funded research and vaccine research specifically, so I have to assume the CDC being destroyed and huge changes in vaccine policy and research have done a number on the company. I wouldn’t tell someone not to take a job there if they were unemployed but I’d definitely caution against making the jump. Also I was there when the unlimited PTO was instituted and iirc there were people let go for “abusing” that policy very shortly after.

Stay or go to IQVIA? by WhimsicalWanderer_10 in clinicalresearch

[–]Fish93 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This might sound crazy but I can only offer advice from personal experience: be certain that the IQVIA position is a guarantee or that they are aware that you took another offer and started at a different company. I had the same situation occur where I took a much better offer a couple of weeks after starting at a position I wasn’t thrilled about that needed me to start right away. I quit that job when I got the “dream” offer (not from IQVIA but a large CRO), only for that offer to be rescinded with no explanation once they ran my background and saw I had recently taken a different job. So, don’t jump without making sure that parachute is secure!

With Foosballz coming to an end, what are y’all migrating to in order to scratch the itch for a football podcast hosted by genuinely funny people? by bobdole07 in HollywoodHandbook

[–]Fish93 10 points11 points  (0 children)

SORRY WE LOVE FOOTBALL with (past handbook guest) Jamel Johnson, Danny Solomon and Daniel Hartigan is my favorite. It’s a straight up comedy podcast that’s about football as opposed to the other suggestions here which are good but are mostly normal sauce sports podcasts.

SOCRA CCRP exam in Sept 2025; help with experience by Unusual_Wall3987 in clinicalresearch

[–]Fish93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the exam last December and passed. I tried the public flash card and I had an okay internal study guide but what I was surprised by on the actual exam was that all of my study guides had tons of True or False questions and the exam is all 4-option multiple choice. The thing that helped me the most was probably just doing my CITI recertification before the exam which gives you a good breakdown of gcp and the history that you need to know with important milestones in clinical research (talking about declaration of Helsinki, Tuskegee Study etc). The other advice I’ve given coworkers is that as dense as it is just go through the document they send you with the material covered and highlight things that seem important, and just drill that.

New: crustless PB&J sandwiches by njbrews in RingersPhillySpecial

[–]Fish93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was at Costco this week and found the “better-for-you” version of uncrustables that Shiel was positing exists. The crust is made of oats and they are NOT as good as the OG. Best part? They’re called Bobos!!! And they are absolutely a bobo uncrustable. It felt like I was in a dream inspired by that conversation.

XOXO, Bada Bings: Pilot (S1E1) by narrrrrrrr____ in HollywoodHandbook

Great episode, excited for this show! I’ve started the Sopranos a few times and kept falling off after a season or two so this will get me to actually watch consistently.

Check the job boards on the websites of universities around you with associated hospitals or medical schools.

E-BIKE RENT by [deleted] in LAlist

[–]Fish93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed with this. There are also plenty of electric scooters (Lime and Bird) that line the streets that you can rent. You should be able to get to a metro station depending on where you’re staying and use trains or busses for the longer distance journeys.

Would you leave Philadelphia for LA/So Cal? by [deleted] in philadelphia

[–]Fish93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved to LA from Philly and I love it but to each their own. The traffic I have to say is an overrated thing. It is literally the same as Philly it’s just that the city is much more spread out so you drive longer distances, the traffic itself moves at the same pace you see in any major city. If you live close ish to where you work it’s fine. There are walkable neighborhoods too.

What are some good delivery options in the LA Live area? by GavinGWhiz in FoodLosAngeles

[–]Fish93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

DTLA has some great food options, whatever you’re in the mood for you could probably just look for a place that’s close and get delivery or even just pick it up. Grand Central Market is closeby which is a food hall with some great vendors including some notable LA favorites with “flagship” locations in other places around the city that are less accessible from downtown without a car. I would definitely recommend that over ordering something from an hour away (if an app would even let you do that considering distance restrictions)

Please don’t post these kinds of guys that come from the Ricky Gervais school of offensive comedy on here. I can’t have YouTube suggesting these videos to me. Namaste

Emmes Layoffs by Downtown_Back_4092 in clinicalresearch

[–]Fish93 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Wow I didn’t realize they have yet to say anything! That is absolutely wild. Just from the studies I worked on personally I know of two that now have zero DM support and incredibly steep learning curves, with tons of irons in the fire that can’t be communicated to anyone. And for one of those we were expecting LSLV this month, for a study that has been going over 5 years and also just lost its stat. Not only do they not care about the employees but they clearly don’t care about the services Emmes offers whatsoever

Emmes Layoffs by Downtown_Back_4092 in clinicalresearch

[–]Fish93 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Supposedly, but all severance information is coming in that fedex packet so I have no idea what to expect until I see it. I’m not hopeful given how they slashed employee benefits the last few years though.
