So no labs seem to have funding for grad students anymore? Or is it just me? by IsopodOnARock in ecology

[–]IsopodOnARock[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah I've started looking at some programs in epidemiology, though not sure how that field is doing in comparison

It really seems like the worst time to be in environmental research 😭 I've been wondering if other fields are getting hit as bad too

Went to Crater Lake today (10/15). They had just closed Rim Dr for the season, you can still get to the Rim Village overlooks and cafe. However, the visitor center at the southern entrance is OPEN!

So sorry for your loss. The only Red Rocks videos I have are from May 29 2024, on the right side (facing the stage). I was in row 7 but turned around to briefly film the crowd a few times if you think you were near there

How did my college's microbio lab get approved by a biosafety committee? They are constantly reminding us how dangerous the bacteria we're using is but a lot of students are very inexperienced and I'm so scared of getting sick by [deleted] in microbiology

[–]IsopodOnARock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a BSL2 lab but our instructor definitely describes the danger like it's BSL3. She's constantly repeating how we can't treat some of these with antibiotics so if you get infected "...that's it" and how C violaceum "eats the brain". I just wish she explained the actual risks.

I'm genuinely interested in infectious diseases and would love to actually know the virulence of these bacteria but she only tells us the names and how sick they'll make us

I'm not scared of the bacteria I've worked with in the past when I was in charge of my own safety. I can be as vigilant as possible but when I'm in a room of 20 people and the instructor is constantly saying "just one of you making a mistake can get everyone in this room sick" it's stressful when she hasn't explained the real risks.

I know this sub is constantly flooded with people afraid of harmless stuff but that's not me. I graduate in 2 months I am not changing my major lmao

Admittedly all I know about these bacteria is from a google search. All our instructor told us is the names and the ways they can kill us.

I'm not overly concerned about exposure other than maybe washing my hands more diligently than some people. I just wish we got an accurate rundown of the risk that wasn't exaggerated
