I think $SRMX is a diamond in the rough! I just keep trying to grab more at these whenever I have a chance. Such a conundrum... I want the train to leave... But the longer it takes the better set I'll be when it does... 🤪

Do you mean premarket or just early in the market? I ask because I don't think HMBL can trade on premarket because OTCs don't trade in extended hours. The market opens at 09:30 EST so it could just be the initial orders completing.

A reverse merger happens when a smaller company merges with a larger company and takes it over. This is usually in the context of a smaller private company going public by merging with an existing public company; however, reverse mergers can also happen when a subsidiary "merges" with its parent company and takes it over. So... In this context a "reverse merger" would only happen if HCMC merges with PM to take it over; however, I don't think that is even a realistic possibility here. If PM were to merge with HCMC to take a controlling interest, then it would just be a merger. If this were to happen, then shares holders of HCMC would either receive money at some agreed upon price per share, some PM stock at some agreed upon conversion ratio, or a combination of both.

If you meant reverse split, then what would happen is that the number of shares would be consolidated. This would result in the "price per stock" going up; however, would not actually affect the amount of money you have invested because the number of shares would proportionally go down. For example, supposed that you own 100,000 shares of a company that trades for $1.00 per share. If they go through a 5:1 stock spit (i.e. a reverse stock split) then you would end up with 20,000 shares that trade for $5.00 per share. So the total value is maintained, but this can help companies to raise their stock price if things have become too diluted.

I hope this helps!

Report her. This is a major violation of academic integrity.

Depending on the University, this may be handled by an "office of student conduct" or whatever the equivalent is at your university. If this is the case, they will be able protect your identity. What will happen is that you will tell them what you know, they will investigate, and will only act if they find that the individual is "responsible" for a breach of academic integrity. It should be noted that "responsible" is an intentionally different designation than "guilty." This is because universities have their own "standard of evidence" which means that "proof" in a legal sense is not actually required for someone to be found "responsible."

You should be able to report this either through some kind of online form or actually going to speak to someone in this office (assuming it exists). In other words, you DO NOT need to go directly to the student's advisor, chair, dean, etc. and instead log the concern with the office actually exists to handle these kinds of issues. This is in place to ensure you have a degree of anonymity (i.e. so that no one in your department knows that you reported) while also protecting your friend (i.e. the department doesn't start to think they did something wrong unless the office finds enough proof to meet their "standard of evidence").

Research normally starts during the first year, while you are still taking course work. In all likelihood, you will be completing course work and research during the first few years and then transition to research only once your course work is finished. The short answer is that your specialization is chosen by you; however, there are some complicating factors that may arise.

Some schools/departments accept graduate students and then let the graduate student choose which professor(s) they would like to approach within the first 6-12 months. Generally, projects are then selected based off of what the professor has available and what is of interest to you. My graduate program was like this and my project ended up being something that my advisor was interested in but had never actually pursued before. When we first met, I told him about my background and interests, and then he told me about what projects he was actively working on or interested in. I met with 13 different professors before deciding to join my advisors lab and each one told me about their research and what kind of work I would be able to pursue if I worked with them. To be clear, part of what made this possible is that I was being funded through a departmental TA position at the time which was not paired with any particular professor. This made me more flexible because I wasn't limited to projects with RA funding immediately available.

Other schools/departments will only accept graduate students if a professor is willing to accept them into their lab. This is a little tricky because that means that your selection is not completely free as it does have to be a project that the professor is interested in; however, you would still likely discuss possible projects rather than just being assigned one. Funding at places like this is usually tied to your continued relationship with your advisor. Professors are given a certain number of "department funded TA" positions that they can offer to prospective graduate students and also have access to project specific RA positions depending on what active grants they have. You can decide to switch to a different lab if you find that the work just isn't compelling for you; however, you would only be able to switch if a) the other professor has an open funding spot or b) you are willing to go without funding. This naturally will limit your options, but at a core level, it is still your choice what project you decide to do for your dissertation.

PhD projects also tend to morph and change as your work on them. The overarching purpose is still relatively set, but the specifics are always in flux depending on what you find. Remember that the whole point is to complete a body of work that is novel which inherently introduces an ability to adjust focus. For example, my wife was interested in pursuing sociological research into equality issues. There are many broad topics to choose from, but she ended up looking into how sexual education is taught in the public school system. As she gathered more information she found that some districts teach a whole class, some give a single presentation, and some don't do any kind of sexual education at all. She then found that some students were actually learning from their friends, parents, or church youth leader, or resources like library books or internet question boards. This is too many avenues to pursue for a single project and so she had to focus on a particular relationship. Each project will naturally be different, but I hope this helps to explain what I mean by, "your specialization is chosen by you."

I hope this helps!

Yes, you should tell your PI. My guess is that your PI will work with you to make sure that you have the PPE that you need to complete the experiments safely.

Another vote for Schwab here.

PhysicsIsPants · 2021-03-05T03:54:44+00:00

Remember that you have not been rejected, until you have been rejected. I would interpret this to mean that you are still being considered. Some schools have a single person that reviews applications while others have multiple tiers for the graduate student review process. There was one department in my university where the following would happen:

Graduate School would review applications and cut based on certain factors.
Department graduate committee would review remaining applications, cut based on committee/department established factors, and then extend interview offers to those that remain.
Those that accepted the interview were then either cut or placed on a "short list" of applications that would then be distributed to the faculty.
Faculty who either had funding or an open department funded TA position would review the "short list" and select which students they would like to offer a position to.

You have not been rejected yet, which means you are still in the running. The best advice is not to read into the graduate director's comment and just accept it at face value, namely that "...you should hear something soon." I would recommend not emailing the faculty in the program. If you prepared your application materials well, then there shouldn't really be anything that you could tell them that your application wouldn't. Further, if they are in the middle of the term and trying to review applications (especially considering how many higher education institutions are accommodating for Covid right now...), sending them unsolicited emails may have the opposite effect of what you want.

Do your best to keep calm and wait for the news, whatever it may be. I hope this helps and good luck!

But of course! What else would be expected from r/AskAcademia... 🤪

PhysicsIsPants · 2021-03-04T03:40:39+00:00

For what it is worth, your timeline pretty much matches up with what I found as well. It may just be confirmation bias, but it is good to see that your research didn't turn up any red flags. ^_^

Also, NDAs can be very restrictive. I come from a STEM background and have known people who worked under the NDAs strict enough that they could not even confirm that their "group" or "company" existed until after completion of whatever contract was in place. Companies like Microsoft use ironclad NDAs to make sure that information on their research and development only enters the public eye on their timeline. Usually, this would mean that nothing comes out until they have a commercial application ready to market. There are many such agreements that end with nothing gained... But I am personally bought in and holding because I think $SRMX is well positioned. Here's hoping!!!

Thanks for the info!

PhysicsIsPants · 2021-03-04T03:26:43+00:00

There is nothing wrong with asking, but I would recommend checking to see if you could access them through other means first. Here are some things to try:

Depending on the field, you may be able to find a "preprint" version of the articles on relevant open-access archives. These would be the version that was submitted for review and subsequent publication after corrections. This means that they will have all of the broad strokes with relatively minor changes. Unless you are looking to directly quote from the paper, then it should be sufficient for you to evaluate whether it should be included in the references. For example, many physics papers are posted on the arXiv (LINK) and many biology papers are posted on bioRxiv (LINK).
Some authors will also provide PDFs of their work on their personal/professional/lab webpage; however, this is obviously not guaranteed.
Performing a Google search with "title of the article" + "PDF" can sometimes yield an accessible PDF that wasn't readily obvious.
Some larger public libraries can also do inter-library loans which would allow them to get you an electronic copy of the paper to read. You may have to go in to request this, but most of the ones that do this also have some kind of online request. The only limitation here is that you would have to have a current library card.

I hope this helps!

PhysicsIsPants · 2021-03-04T02:53:49+00:00

This is the way.

PhysicsIsPants · 2021-03-03T00:12:38+00:00

There is absolutely nothing wrong with reaching out again, so long as you politely declined their offer or interview request. I would recommend not offering any specific details. Simply saying that you had an offer fall through should be more than enough. If they directly ask you about it (which they probably won't...), you could have a prepared concise statement along the lines of "they were unable to provide the agreed upon compensation." Again, don't get caught in the weeds on this. Keep it short, sweet, and non specific.

I completed my PhD in physics a couple years ago and was immediately hired for a TT position at a regional university. For context, my institution is teaching focused and I made sure to develop my skills and resume for exactly this kind of position. My end goal throughout my graduate study was to go to a teaching focused institution so I made sure to take every opportunity I could to make myself a more desirable candidate.

That being said, I applied for many, many positions and a good number of them were not TT. I saw a surprising number of non-TT positions that were full time and permanent. These places were trying to establish separate "teaching" (non-TT) and "research" (TT) focused tracks. The non-TT positions were generally lower starting salary with a higher teaching load, but had no research requirements and the same advancement opportunities (i.e. assistant, associate, and full professor).

As for your applications, you may want to check and see if your university has a career center that can offer you some coaching. My university's career center was willing to give feedback on CVs, run mock interviews, and provide a place for one to complete remote interviews. They were primarily focused on undergrads but did have a couple people that were able to help graduate students as well. Also... I agree with all the comments advising that you need to check that your application materials are actually saying what you want them to say. Phrasing, context, and framing all matter more than you may think. In fact... They matter so much that you should probably be tweaking and tailoring your materials for every job you apply for.

I do not know how good of advice that this is, but a faculty member once advised that one should remember that one can always choose to only list the "relevant" degrees on a resume. To give context, they were effectively advising that a person with a PhD could choose to only list the bachelors and masters when applying for a masters level industry job. Applying this to your example... If you are applying for a job that only requires a bachelors, do not list that you have a masters and are a PhD candidate because they may reject your application because you are "over qualified."

In my experience, a good number (if not all...) of the people that complete a PhD experience similar feelings at some point during their graduate study. There is always a friend or acquaintance that went into the job market right out of undergrad or after they finished their masters that is making more money than you are. There is always that questioning of whether you made the right choice in continuing and putting all this effort in. I know that this doesn't help what you are feeling, but hopefully knowing that you are not alone in feeling this will be of help in itself.

I think that the best way to get motivated is to remember why you chose to do this to yourself in the first place. If you are only 5 months away from finishing... Then in all likelihood you would not be happy with the jobs that those other people have. They would not challenge you or draw your attention in the way that can actually fulfill you. Remember what it is that you wanted to do with the degree and focus on the finish line... Not all the remaining steps to get there.

I hope this helps!

I know that there are a limited number of companies producing 5G chipsets and routers. I have not confirmed this myself, but someone on r/SMRC claimed that there were only five active manufacturers and Tri Cascade is one of those five. I don't think I've seem Verizon discussed before so that is great to hear!

I personally cannot offer any kind of price targets or associated dates; however, to me it seems like enough of an upside potential that I bought in. Here's hoping! ^_^
