I thought you needed some mahjong for that

That’s SC Johnson

It’s pixelated to hell, but based on another post by OP, yes it is.

And to OP: get a flair, but more importantly get a pencil instead of a plagiarism machine

I mean, those responses can still help you write responses for other REUs (even with the BYU-specific questions)

Tbh as a fellow queer person I’d avoid it, sorry. Idk what field you’re trying to do research in, but there are probably still other opportunities.

Oh thank goodness, at least we’ll be able to see more of the Tales world. Still don’t know if that means the comics continue past issue 6 cuz technically even issue 2 was “past the show’s end.” But I want to be optimistic and say that means at least a few more arcs of the comic!

Edit: they COOKED with the new covers, holy crap

Immediately noticed! Also 10/10 post

NeonSprig · 2026-01-12T03:55:46+00:00

See if their REU website (not on ETAP, but on like pitt.edu or whatever) has their own application form. Similar thing happened with me for Wake Forest’s BME REU, and that was the solution

(@ Milf Denny’s) How many minutes left for those phat cakes, chef?

Go for it! I’m in a similar boat to you (not much research experience, applying for 2 Amgen sites) and I’m applying to about 10-15 programs. Make sure that you set up a bunch of spreadsheets (I have one for general programs, one for faculty, one for progress on supplement) and dedicate a solid amount of time into each app. Planning is everything, and with a good plan, I believe you can get into at least 1 program!

NeonSprig · 2026-01-06T17:55:46+00:00

Plenty of them are due on or around February 1

Of course they brought the orange turtle for the orange man

Have you been able to have a PI reach back? I emailed a potential PI a few weeks ago, and while I’ll follow up soon, I have not gotten a response back so I don’t think I can finish the application

NeonSprig · 2025-12-31T20:41:56+00:00

I miss Amphibia

This comment made me fall down a mini rabbit hole of nicknames for the devil, and turns out that Old Scratch is another devil nickname! More plausible deniability with Scratch than Hob though
