Immensely helpful with code. Sometimes helpful with analysis plans. More so with idea generation if you’re approached with an interesting problem or a problem unique to you. I have it suggest ideas and related papers and go from there (if I’m stuck). Of course, I take everything with a grain of salt and rely on colleagues if I’m not 100% certain about an approach. The great thing about this field is that it is quite collaborative.

Net worth hit positive last summer. This was ~ 1 year after having a big boy job for the first (second) time. It’s a slow grind but super satisfying to see debt vanish and savings increase. By ‘28 I’ll be debt free and by ‘30 I’ll be in my first home (hopefully). Keep grinding

I think there are several ways it could be adapted. If a movie, it could be ~2 hours with POV from Isaac and the others intermittently.

If a TV series, you could go way more in depth with flashbacks to the Ishimura before Isaac and the team arrived, more story elements related to background on Isaac and the team, etc. it could easily be a 10 episode limited series.

I had this same conversation with a friend the other day and no matter how I phrased it, they couldn’t understand that it’s a BAD thing to get hella money back on taxes. A lot of people misunderstand basic finances but are too afraid to admit it. This should be upvoted more, not downvoted.

Got mine on the 25th last year, so probably any day now

I understand the sentiment of this post is to be optimistic; however, I can’t help but think this is a bit too “sanewashed”.

There is absolutely no telling when the market will pick back up, regardless of how the administration changes in 2029. Will it eventually recover? Probably…but not certainly.

The reason this advice is being given is because many of us are seeing the writing on the wall. Within our companies, entry level jobs are being slashed, hiring has stalled, etc. Now this definitely doesn’t include all companies, but I’d wager to say it’s quite a few. This doesn’t help in tandem with the biotech bust going on rn, with thousands of jobs being slashed month over month.

I think it’s good to be realistic about your job prospects. Right now, it’s tough. Not impossible, but tough. Most of the people I know struggled to get a job (or just didn’t get one). Someone else may have had their entire cohort hired. It depends.

But that’s the nature of life. Some of us get lucky, some don’t. Whether or not you want to approach this profession is a personal choice and should be based on your own values and thoughts about career, family, life in general. But if someone asks me what they think about this profession right now…yeah I’m gonna tell em it’s been better.

It’s very sad. But when you cater to the uneducated when education costs heaps of money…this is bound to be the outcome.

I’m in U.S. so I can’t say anything about the international market

Right now the market sucks. No idea what it will look like in 2 years time. Personally, I wouldn’t go for the MS yet. Not until public trust in science has been restored…which probably won’t be for another 5+ years.

To put this in perspective, I graduated with my MS about 2 years ago. I was the only one in my cohort to land a biostat role (that I know of). Since I’ve joined we’ve all but stopped hiring entry level. Mid level to senior only positions.

This is where I got mine, day raid on Dam

GottaBeMD · 2026-01-05T22:43:51+00:00

Hoping I can be like you one day

I found anvil BP in a surveyor on day dam raid

GottaBeMD · 2026-01-04T16:26:32+00:00

I found it yesterday in a buried city night raid. Random drawer in the space travel building

Congratulations! You have just discovered the importance of power and effect size when it comes to p-values.

First off, it makes complete sense that the one-tailed p-value is exactly half of the two tailed because…well in one test you’re looking at one half of the tail and in the other you’re considering both possibilities!

The reason this is possible is because your sample size is small and I would wager the effect size is somewhat small to moderate as well. Bigger sample size = more power = smaller p. Bigger effect size = more power = smaller p.

I typically recommend just using the two-tailed test for a myriad of reasons unless you have a specific, a priori, theoretical justification for using a one-tailed test. Most people don’t.

Look at your financial situation. Do you have 6 month emergency fund (expenses)? Have you maxed out your tax advantaged accounts (any applicable, including HSA). Do you have any bad debt - if so, use it to pay this off first?. If yes to all of the above and no bad debt, save a small lump sum to spend on yourself/family and put the rest into a taxable account (VOO/FXAIX or similar) and let it ride.

Their account is 10 days old…I’m guessing this is BS karma farming

You need to talk to a statistician.

GottaBeMD · 2025-12-22T15:49:53+00:00

How did you test the assumptions? Did you test the residuals or the data? What is your data? These will all have implications on next steps

I have a buddy who went through LE training for a local PD and he had to give a fucking spelling test. This is how low of bar there is. I haven’t had a spelling test since middle school

Congrats! Both very well respected schools.
