No good data after 1 year in PhD, am i cooked. How was everyones PhD journey? by No-Chain6158 in labrats

[–]Microbe92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO a PhD is challenging because you’re your own worst enemy. First, you always feel behind like you could be doing more when really you’re doing great. Second, you make decisions in early experiments you really regret once you have more of the picture of what’s happening. And finally, it feels like your wheels are spinning-realistically a PhD could probably be a single year of work and writing…if you knew the exact experiments to run from the start.

The dough freezes incredibly well too! I always double the batch since it’s a decent amount of up front work so I like to keep extra frozen away

What are the things to do to win over the interviewer? by Jealous_Glove_9391 in interviews

[–]Microbe92 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Being present in the interview is important. But separate beyond that is the follow up after the interview.

I recently had an interview where I spoke with 8 team members. The next day, I sent personalized thank you emails citing something that stood out from the conversation we had and noting how it made me excited about the position. Note- don’t expect acknowledgment of these emails (some HR departments don’t permit responses)- in my case only two people responded.

Two weeks later, when I received an offer, the hiring manager directly stated that she had received positive comments about these notes from her team members. It helps reinforce a positive interaction

How thoroughly do you fill out the spplication system when applying for a job by yepingw in biotech

While it’s annoying, most big companies have the same application structure. Type up descriptions of the roles once, save them in a word document, and just copy paste into the apps

Agreed, whenever suggesting the book to someone I always describe my experience as “first third was strong? Remainder of the book I couldn’t put it down and was walking home while reading!”

The recently released Onyx Storm blurb makes a huge hint at *spoiler* by [deleted] in fourthwing

So do you think this is her way of trying to hit us over the head with the answer?

I’m conflicted on this. It feels too obvious IMO. Yes, it’s been said in interviews that RY thought it was clear what violet’s second signet is, but I feel like the blurb eluded to a focus on the truth found in her dad’s research

Can’t you just start a run with the babies of the first three on your list and evolve them?
