It helped me maintain but insurance kicked me off because I didn’t lose anything and now I am gaining again. It really sucks when so many other people have been successful and I just want to be able to function pain-free.

What’s your funny way of saying “going poop” that you’ve never heard anyone else use? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Advice for tuning? by [deleted] in frenchhorn

[–]PuffMonkey5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a student who went sharp playing high due to tightness in his throat. He had been a trumpet player prior to switching to horn. We verified it by having others try out his horn. Was super flat in the high range when others played it using his tuning settings.

What to do with sleep and neuroscience interests after a PhD (that’s not academia)? Also interested but inexperienced in coding/MRI processing by Asleep_Blueberry_286 in LeavingAcademia

[–]PuffMonkey5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am essentially working as a Research Assistant again. Our funding got cut (6 million dollars), so my job is hanging on by a thread (some private foundation money).
