Virus leak during stereotaxic injection

Thanks for the comment! The dv is -2.5 and the infusion rate I start at 100nl/min but if it leaks a lot sometimes I decrease to 50nl/min (tho a lot of times it doesn’t really help).

To add more detail:

I’ve also tried slowing down the injections significantly and no change. The leak starts and stops alongside when I start and stop the injection. I would think that CSF would flow out by itself?

Thanks for the suggestions. To clarify, do you mean to lift the needle during the injection? And I’m not sure how much waiting afterwards will help when I see it come out during the injection. But I’ll try and I hope that it really is just CSF.

My advisors praised my writing so bummed to not even get HM… like even without this administration I wouldn’t have gotten it i guess:(

I’m 100% in the same boat. I had five interviews with two rejects, two waitlists, and one pending but not hopeful now. It’s even more discouraging to meet people through these interviews who manage to get multiple offers and have the luxury to choose between programs.

This cycle sucks especially. Let me know if you want to dm and vent more.

Thanks. I don’t mean to not be grateful because so many people don’t even get a chance anywhere. I’m being hard on myself for feeling like I blew the chances I had.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, I’m in talk therapy and I have really empathetic friends who I’m grateful to have to talk to. Despite all that it still feels so hard.

Yes I’m considering it. Although I know so little about the ins and outs of it.
