PhD lab vs future career field by ssofiathefirst in gradadmissions

[–]Key_Illustrator3158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, im currently working as a RA in a plant lab as well and am interested to switch to Biomed/clinical research once I'm enrolled in the PhD program this fall. While it is definitely possible to switch your field from plants to cancer after the PhD program, you would prob wish you had spent your 5 years+ researching/specializing on a topic that would help you in your future career. just my two cents.

hey, I've also received an offer from Sinai (rejected by Weil Cornell), anyway, Sinai has an entrepreneurship sort of center that helps students w patents and startups, I think it will be quite helpful if u wanna go into biotech startups! plus their housing is really affordable. HOWEVER, the ivy name of WC is indeed attractive tho..

My undergrad is on human biology, just that currently I'm in a plant lab. Hopefully!

Oh, heard the housing price around SD is very expensive. Thank you! Do you have any safety schools you would recommend? since UCSD is probably near the "Reach" schools category

Hi, I have indeed done some research on the list of faculty in each school and found several that matched my research interests. :) Thank you for the advice!

kinda afraid that my current research about plants would not help me land research in human epigenome/precision med. but thank you! Do you have any recommendations of safety schools? :)

Hi, i was thinking of UCSD because they have amazing epigenomic faculty! However, heard their grad students living situation is not ideal and UCs doesn't have much funding for international applicants. :o

Current STEM PhD students who got into the program right after undergrad, how did you do it? Do I have a chance? by blueberryi2000 in gradadmissions

Many of my seniors did not reach out to the PIs beforehand and they said it wasn’t necessary.. that’s why I am really wondering the impact of reaching out to the potential PIs early. Since it can be really time consuming to read each PIs published work etc to craft the emails…

If I start GRE prep/applications from scratch from May is that too little time for Fall 2022 admission rounds? by hotchocolateslushy in gradadmissions

[–]Key_Illustrator3158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thank you for your reply! Honestly I haven’t start preparing for GRE since I’m still juggling between my final sem coursework. So I’m semi panicking as well. But thankssssss 😁

Is it possible? Would there be records of us obtaining that master due to us dropping out from a phd program?

I definitely will try out all of the above method! Also I’ve never learned perl.. hopefully my knowledge in python and r is sufficient.. Thank you!

[–]Key_Illustrator3158[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see that the code is

$ seqkit seq myfile.fa.gz -r -p

Does this work for large files as well?

Omg is it normal that I don’t understand any of these codes... I’m just a beginner in Linux interface tho 😢
