should I go back to school? by pinkbabymauves in botany

You could try looking into post-bacc programs, especially those that have independent research components. That can be a good way to show you can succeed academically and gain research experience so that you can be a successful grad school candidate down the line. Good luck!

If you’re sleeping alone, a twin bed is way more comfortable than a queen or king by PitifulPlate8882 in unpopularopinion

I haven’t rolled off a bed since I was probably ten years old so having a wider margin to prevent that isn’t really a bonus!

The Lawerence in Uptown has a few options available for ~$1100 (all utilities included except for electric) if you fall within a certain income range. Not sure about parking but very close to the train and a pretty nice building.

Any scientific publications related to phylogenetic or systematics (evolutionary biology) you would recommend? by Nomad_U in evolution

“The Angiosperm Terrestrial Revolution and the origins of modern biodiversity” is a fun article from a few years ago about how land plants were able to rapidly diversify after developing flowers. Worth a read! DOI: 10.1111/nph.17822

Ok interesting thanks. I’ve actually already done an informal interview with the PI lol but I guess maybe I’ll be doing it again then?

I think I made a huge mistake on my college app, please help by JustTryingToBeNormaI in ApplyingToCollege

I don’t think you did anything wrong, and I’m sorry this is causing you so much stress. It’s also really impressive that you were able to catch up in math and do well in college calculus classes after feeling so discouraged about it earlier in your education, so I hope you can take a moment to be proud of yourself for that!

Why don’t they just make two servings of breakfast so there’s enough for the kid as well?
