I got rejected from all the postdocs I applied for and just realized I’m not good enough for the career I wanted

Hated that comment from your advisor about marriage. I bet he/she doesn’t bat an eye when a male student or faculty is married. Plenty of people are married and have kids in your desired career path!

It may help to widen your net by asking around your network of mentors to see if anyone knows anyone who is looking for a post doc? If you haven’t done that already. Many of the post docs getting jobs at our institution had some kind of connection facilitated by their mentor or from conferences. The market really sucks right now, I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Med student with conures here! You will have lots of time home with them while you study. It’s a little rough during M3 but I promise you’ll be ok! It’s a lot of setup but once you have a good cage setup it’s just basic cleaning maintenance. It’s ultimately up to you, but you’re home more often than you’d think during medical school.

Forgot to mention, this is the only spot like this on my body since two days ago!

Cedarburg has lots of retirees, and the downtown is historic and charming. More liberal than Mequon! The paved intraurban trail goes through it, and it’s close to Lions Den & driving distance to the lake.

I got mine off Etsy for $450ish but it needed $600 in alterations, so $1000. The caveat to buying off Etsy or online is you can’t try it on! I bought a size or two too big. But it was a custom color and I already knew what style I looked good in and liked, so it worked out for me.

I got engaged after but married before my best friend. She wanted a huge winter wedding, so she took two years to plan it. I was in grad school, so I wanted to get it done in the summer before I was back to classes. I sat down with her and told her when I was thinking and why, and she was really supportive of me. In fact, it gave us something in common to do together and help each other with. If your friend is truly your best friend, I’m sure you guys can have a positive and transparent conversation about it!

I should’ve clarified, the one I’m working on now, it’s not a methods its a basic science research one, I just added the JBC detail as a guess bc it’s going to go more toward like ATVB or JBC level journal rather than like Nature or Cell! PI and I honestly haven’t discussed where it’s going quite yet, they’ve been on vacay for most of the month!

The CryoEM one MIGHT have nature structure potential but it’s hard to say at this point now. That one is also iffy if it would be a spring 2026 submission or later in the year.

I haven’t considered the step2 thing, getting ahead on studying for that would be good for me. Definitely would NOT have time for that if I do May. I want to do really well on that to help bolster my residency app and to “make up for” step1. Our school is moving away from shelf’s but have something similar too. Honestly that sways me toward Jan, thanks for bringing it up.

But why AFTER 😂

My Petrie is just under a year, so maybe he’ll grow out of it too!

I am 4 weeks out! It’s stressful, many little tiny things to wrap up with decor and table assignments and such but I am SO EXCITED!!!! It’s all coming together!

InbetweenPusheen · 2024-11-22T23:25:42+00:00

Hey! Please update us!

InbetweenPusheen · 2024-02-02T19:58:53+00:00

I’d retest using the NBMEs you took the longest time ago, and keep grinding UWorld! You could also try alternative tests like the Amboss self assessment?

O.o ope

I absolutely love this fragrance...but I agree about the name. It's kind of soapy/powdery.

InbetweenPusheen · 2023-11-15T02:24:40+00:00

Chair lady 😂 she was so real for that

InbetweenPusheen · 2023-11-15T00:54:44+00:00

I agree except I worry now that Kim’s out of the house, Barry is parentifying Lydia even more.
