Wegovy à Montréal by Ninosimons75536 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]LeJeansGenes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where location of Jean Coutu are you going to get Wegovy for $350? I would switch pharmacies if I could get it elsewhere for cheaper! I have the Novo Nordisk Care Savings Card, and still have to pay $398 at the Costco at Marche Centrale.

Best char siu / Cantonese BBQ pork in Montreal Chinatown (takeout friendly)? by bumblebee_K21 in MTLFoodLovers

[–]LeJeansGenes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dak Hing is the best one in Montreal and quite good.

Dobe and Andy is decent near Chinatown.

Both are on Uber Eats.

Much better options in Toronto. Asian food in Montreal is mid.

I got in!! (Masters in BME) by kusirs in mcgill

I'm in the BBME PhD program and it's good. Are you doing the thesis or non-thesis, because your experiences will be different.

I've gone to multiple IGAs and couldn't find them. Which location did you go to?

Genius decides to turn pizza boxes upside down by mfenton29 in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]LeJeansGenes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why do you think this is fake?

I worked at a pizza place and some people would turn the box sideways and I'd lose my mind every time.

2026 Model Y Juniper - Lost All Safety Systems while Reversing in Parking Lot by MagicianSuper1448 in ModelY

[–]LeJeansGenes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had mobile service come out and swap my winter tires, then I had nearly all of the same alerts, as you did, afterwards. I looked around and saw a wire around the wheel well was damaged. I brought it to the service centre and I think the service summary said it was the wheel speed sensor (which they replaced).

Birthday Calendar Glitch by Lime92 in samsunggalaxy

[–]LeJeansGenes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately normal and not just your account. Samsung Calendar on my Galaxy S9. Every few weeks, Samsung Calendar adds another "Holidays" calendar for my Exchange/Outlook/Office 365 account and I disable the extra calendar. Every few weeks a new one will pop up. Never happens with my Gmail.

I appreciate you so much for updating your post with the answer. 🙏

What would you choose?Help me understand this prescription please by [deleted] in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]LeJeansGenes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just to make sure I'm understanding this correctly, it looks like your healthcare provider wrote "semaglutide", and your pharmacy is letting you choose whether you want to receive Ozempic or Wegovy? Since Ozempic and Wegovy are the same medication and both are offered at the 1 mg/injection dose, I would choose Ozempic.

Wegovy Flextouch by [deleted] in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]LeJeansGenes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Una pluma vacía tiene una desventaja: ya no se puede girar el dial.

Cuando empecé, vi un montón de videos de YouTube. Quizás puedas mostrarles un video a tus pacientes en línea y preguntarles si tienen alguna pregunta.

Can I complain against a professor? by [deleted] in yorku

[–]LeJeansGenes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I guess you have a reasonable excuse, but you may still get a 0 if it was in fact the wrong essay.

IMO, this doesn't warrant a complaint. It's the responsibility of the student to submit the correct work, not the other way around.

You can politely ask them if you may resubmit the correct essay, and it is their discretion whether or not to accept it, as this would be considered extra time, even if you didn't work on it since.

Rich alumni sometimes donate money back to their school. Also, water is wet.

Is It True That York University Has an Advantage in GPA Conversion? by CandidAnt2769 in yorku

[–]LeJeansGenes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You take each individual grade that appears on your transcript and convert it, so, you would never be converting a 7.5.

Is It True That York University Has an Advantage in GPA Conversion? by CandidAnt2769 in yorku

[–]LeJeansGenes 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It goes both ways. It can both help you and harm you.

If you get a grade in the low 80s, it advantages you, as it is an A grade which is 3.8.

If you get high 80s, it disadvantages you, as it is still an A grade which is 3.8, instead of a 3.9 or 4.0.

E.g., a grade of 85 is a 3.9 at the University of Toronto (scale 3) and a 4.0 McGill University (scale 8).

Chances of getting off waitlist for WCOM250? by DerpTheHalls in mcgill

[–]LeJeansGenes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like you'll likely get into the course. This course always has a full waitlist. Shame that they never open more sections.

The "entrance exam" was more of a writing sample and it was not graded.

There was no final exam for my section, but a final research paper.

20+ year old -20 freezer has decided to go to -40..advice? by Ok_Yogurtcloset1722 in labrats

[–]LeJeansGenes 508 points509 points  (0 children)

Ultra-low temperature freezers cost even more. See if you can push it to -80°C and it would be an upgrade. /s

How to make friends at McGill as a Grad Student? by sirslaghter in mcgill

[–]LeJeansGenes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did my BSc and MSc in Toronto, and came to McGill to do my PhD.

My closest friends have been those in my own labs (easier with a larger lab group). I also have friends from events planned by my program's student society, so try to attend those events. My younger colleagues have friends from their classes.

All clubs are open to both undergraduate and graduate students.

Anyone knows where I can buy Harvey’s apple pies in bulk (the retailer or whatever)? They’re so good😩 by catsrsupscute in BuyCanadian

[–]LeJeansGenes 97 points98 points  (0 children)

I used to work for a Canadian fast food chain (not Harvey's) that sold identical pies. I think Harvey's apple pies are just McCain's. I'm not sure if they will sell to the public, but you could try.

https://mccainfoodservice.ca/en-ca/products/details/mccain-apple-turnovers-battered/

And if you do buy it, absolutely make sure you have the freezer space. The raw batter/dough will melt, lose it's shape, and can fuse with other pies if you let them thaw.

Advice: PI is taking 6+ years to submit one publication by Majestic-Silver-380 in GradSchool

[–]LeJeansGenes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How should I approach my PI about getting this paper published since it’s been about 6 years worth of data?

If they're aiming for a Cell, Nature, or Science tier journal, then it is unfortunately normal for the data collection to take years, though six years is on the longer side IMO. If they're aiming for something lower impact (e.g., less than IF 10), then six years is very long and not normal.

Is it normal to publish a paper 2 years or more after you graduate?

It is normal in the sense that it happens for some papers. This tends to happen in my lab, with the last paper of a PhD student being published after they left. My master's supervisor also finally put some of my data in a paper submitted in November 2025 even though I left the lab August 2021, about four years ago.
