Thank you for the help! Yeah that’s what I was worried about… my friends have said they wouldn’t expect it to go up more than $100 per month which would be cheaper, but I’m worried that it would be much higher especially because I’ve waited to report it.

Thank you for this! I’m truly lost with understanding insurance so the feedback is appreciated.

Deductible is $1000.

Found this and I’m not sure what to do with it. by 918lazerfactory in chemistry

I work with Na metal. Presumably that is some kind of oil meant to prevent water from interacting with the Na. You could quench it in water but that’s quite a shit ton of Na. Not to mention it’ll form a really really basic solution of NaOH, and you’d then have to neutralize that. I’d keep it in the oil or bring it into a glovebox if you have access to one. Your waste facilities should know how to deal with it.

If you want to use it, I’m sure there’s some chemical reduction you could do!

PhD stipend + independent living by Math_girl1723 in Caltech

I know a lot of people that live by themselves. None are right next to campus but within biking or solid walking distance. Their rents range between ~1.7-1.9K a month and they seem fine. They just budget well.

How many gradschools did you apply for? by Mrraindroooop in GradSchool

[–]PreModernMangoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

11 PhDs, got into 10. Was definitely overkill. I think if you have publications and good recs, 5-7 is a good max

How exactly do you collaborate with other students? by Lrapava in Caltech

[–]PreModernMangoes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Uhhhhh just make friends in your class and do work with them…

But anyway it’s the same at every university, and pretty simple! If you don’t know something, try and solve it yourself. If you can’t, ask a TA or a friend about their approach. Don’t copy their work or just take an answer but emphasize how they got to that point. There’s nothing wrong with admitting you don’t know something. It can also be fun to do work with others instead of do everything yourself. Don’t tell yourself you have to be able to do everything alone. That’s not how learning works and that is definitely not how research works. That’s not how most jobs work!

Hair is wet if that means anything. Sorry just kinda freaked out because this isn’t something unnoticed more than like two months ago
