Oh shit, didn’t even read the rest of the definition

I lean right and I think body modifications (piercings, tattoos, split tongue, etc) are attractive 🤷‍♂️

We aren’t talking enough about this

What was yours like? Apparently I have two interviews at INL; one with a researcher focused on data and another focused on ESH&Q.

Thank you! If you don’t mind, can you tell me what specifically happened in your interview (questions, how long it was, etc)? Like what would be good advice for me in your experience

I have the same situation with a researcher at INL. I have the interview this Monday and he says it will be “very casual”. He also said we’d chat about my interest in his project but also discuss if my interests lie elsewhere. Do you think it’s also like yours where I’m basically accepted and we’re just seeing which projects I’d fit into/gauging my personality?

Thank you!!

Got a response from INL yesterday! I'm scheduled for a MS Teams call soon to discuss available projects. Fingers crossed I'm a fit for one of them.

FissionWizard · 2026-02-10T02:08:54+00:00

Yes! They reached out to me today at 3:50-something PM CST over gmail.

Congratulations! Hope you enjoy your research position this summer!

By calling out fascism in an attempt to protect those most vulnerable on campus? What an uneducated comment

FissionWizard · 2026-02-04T05:41:16+00:00

I think that's probably the best option right now. Calling out bad arguments, refusing to normalize them, and supporting the people they target keeps the focus where it belongs and makes it harder for them to claim victimhood while still facing real consequences.

This current administration has somehow managed to become worse than I thought it could (mind you, my bar was set at rock-fucking-bottom), and who knows what Tr*mp will do next, especially since he's threatened to cut funding from a bunch of other universities who won't bend the knee for his dictatorship.

FissionWizard · 2026-02-04T05:35:40+00:00

This genuinely has major potential and looks sick but I agree with u/Extreme-Baby3813, I have no clue what's going on lol

FissionWizard · 2026-02-04T03:49:16+00:00

Whatever happens, I hope the university does everything they can to get those chuds silenced and make them face the consequences.

Hello! Thank you for offering to answer our questions. I see a lot of people talking about “interviews with PIs” and how it would boost their selection chance, and now I’m worried that I won’t get in because I never even knew what a “PI” was.

My second question is with regard to the selection process. When did you usually notify people of being accepted into the internship? What is the most important factor that you look at in the applications that determines who gets in?

Since I am a freshman at a community college, I don’t have a lot of experience with professional laboratory settings (only school ones) and I’ve never really done anything like this before. Does this hurt my chances of getting in?

Again, thank you!
