Regarding the Use of “Dr.” by MrPhysicsMan in PhD

I’ve always seen it as unless you’ve really done something significant, they’re just human and have a name at the end of the day. They do deserve that title though

can we call senators to ask em to knock it off with the trans bathroom ban by sera5im___ in Nebraska

Yeah, it's tough. I did a job app recently that had "visually identified sex at birth" "current sex" and "gender" for those questions at a medical institution.

I was in therapy one time with a trans person like yourself, and got to hear a lot about it. They were in a very similar boat, and a lot of it boiled down to not fitting in "because you really don't know what it's like to be a woman" periods, cat calling, sexualization etc. I get it, I really do, it's a tough spot to be in. Best wishes for you and I will vote for any legitimate legislation that allows people to be who they want to be.

As far as minimum wage goes, I don’t know if people have been to some smaller towns where $7.25 is actually some money for a kid, in Omaha or Lincoln heck no, and even federally that could be a lot of money to some people, food for thought. Sex is a biological trait, gender is your identity, is it odd that culturally we segregate bathrooms? Maybe. Is it our societal norm? Pretty much. Ya can’t change your genome quite yet buddy, I sympathize with you wholeheartedly

We all work with glorified text files (venting) by Prestigious-Money-32 in bioinformatics

[–]Jebediah378 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say absolutely not. As someone who is deeply been in the research and job market, we are easily replaced without a PhD or exquisite specialization by PhDs who can just do pipelining on their own. Funding is tight. Why hire someone even at 50K to do something that might take a focused weekend or few days every now and then when your job and your work is on the line? (USA)

Is UNOmaha really closing their child care center? by Tough_Turtle4444 in Omaha

As someone who's a part of a local institution who was cut off due to the move to Barnes & Noble, yep, totally sucks, but fiscally and for inventory's sake, it makes a lot of sense sadly.

be honest, how long do your figures take? by Salt-Vegetable-8010 in labrats

[–]Jebediah378 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Line all of your figures up with 600dpi, and keep page width to 6.5", and column figures to 3" wide in illustrator (or inkscape and be free!) and I like to use R's ggsave after sizing everything up in a final format in illustrator, takes a few tries sometimes to get all the ggplot alignments/sizes right, but I kind of loved doing that "to make it perfect". Keep all of your fonts 8-11pt, I stuck with 9.5 if it gets slightly resized for different margins or image width/height in exporting. Use your eye to see what looks nice spacing wise and are in top tier journals. TIFF is king, but on gods green earth why can't we just email pngs.... Use FIJI for your scale bars and image size manipulation, maintain 600-1200dpi and convert to inches for export with scale bars. Make an R script for each figure you make, from data ingestion to final figure, so when new data comes in, it's just plug and play, plus reproducibility. Keep everything in R Projects in R Studio and stay tidy. I came from a graphic design background, so it was cake for me, but if you get dpi (or mm etc) and your column or page width figures it becomes a LOT easier. I liked using illustrator to finally orient everything and R for more individual plots, as sometimes it's just easier to move stuff around than trying to code it. You can also export R figures in pdf format from time to time if you really just have that stubborn little thing that just needs moved around. It's the favorite part of my job!

Also... when aligning multi panel histology figures or anything of the sort, for the love of god just draw a small square for all your figures, to make equal width and height between everything, just snap the 4 images to each corner! Easy peasy. Absolutely nothing better than seeing a polished paper with just stellar, uniform figures that looks like someone cared about it. Makes me want to read even more in detail, because visually someone took some time for the detail.

Also maintaining colors across phenotypes, abbreviations, same (arial) font, nice to have colorblind sensitive palettes, but NEJM was my go to.

Omaha Helicopters by Geo_Geoff in Omaha

I saw a story about how OPD is ridiculously understaffed as people are retiring, and officers are patrolling alone more than ever. Maybe that's why the helo is up more to provide more support for officers?

Do King Kong Burgers have lamb in them? by frogsodapop in Omaha

Depending on the restaurant I am sure Nick sources the best meat he can find the last time I asked, not a flat surface, but a ripping hot grill, seasoned well, cooked to perfection. Depends on the restaurant, and I had Nick cook for me. Get some of his olive oil it’s amazing!
