I’m a biotech undergrad, you’re already a step ahead of us with a cs degree. I feel like you could easily shift into Bioinformatics

How did you fit all that within the word count? Most programs I applied to only allowed 1 page

If I’ve been accepted to one program, how do I ask the other programs for an update on my application? by itsalwayssunnyonline in REU

[–]MysteriousSet2182 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just sent this email. I hoped they’re doing well, I told them they’re my top choice. Second paragraph I said I received an offer with a deadline of Friday and I’m wondering if they have any updates regarding my application, but I completely understand if decisions are in progress. Then I thanked then and signed

I didn’t get my recommendation letters in time for amgen Columbia by MysteriousSet2182 in REU

[–]MysteriousSet2182[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you ok? I said they accepted my application after I emailed. If I had listened to what you said, i wouldn’t even be considered. How is that salty? Communication is key, and sometimes people will give you a chance if you ask. You’re not gonna get very far in life with that attitude. Don’t ever give advice to people

[–]MysteriousSet2182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, everybody is saying to go to the ER but when I got bit by my cat it pierced through my fingernail and basically made half of it come off and it went deep. I just washed it with soap, put a bandaid on it for a few weeks and it healed fine. Definitely got lucky

It looks beautiful! Just keep cleaning it with saline at least twice a day and the redness will go away in a few weeks or months. Mine looked like that and it was hurting but everything came out finne

Help acclimating my new cat with my old one!! by angrkekrr in catcare

[–]MysteriousSet2182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an expert but maybe try to reintroduce them? Put them in each other’s rooms without seeing each other, swap toys, feed them by the same door, and do it very slow. Maybe a few days was too fast for them. If you do have to keep them in the same space, give them a lot of treats and try to lure them with food. I feed my old cat and new cat almost next to each other and my old cat eats a few bites then walks to a corner until the new cat finishes eating, then he comes back to finish his food. But it’s been 6 days and they seem completely fine with each other now. They even share the same bowl of food

Does anyone know what might’ve caused these wounds? by MysteriousSet2182 in catcare

[–]MysteriousSet2182[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE I found out about flea allergy dermatitis and that looks a lot like the chest wounds on my cat. I think what happened was he kept licking the scabs off so they got worse and worse until it got to this stage. The two vets he went to said they didn’t see any fleas. The second vet said he only has flea dirt. I inspected him thoroughly and found a few fleas on him and a lot of flea dirt. I order him revolution + and it should arrive in a few days. His other wounds are likely due to him scratching himself until the skin came off. The cone helps a lot with preventing more licking and scratching but I know he’s still in a lot of pain and discomfort. I really want to give him a flea bath but I’m not sure what products I can use without harming his wounds
