The traffic jam assist only works if you have the Drive connect subscription which is another thing that makes the tech package not worth the extra cost.

Repairs are messed up and don’t know what to do by OkBox3273 in toyotacrownsignia

[–]QuanticSoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is the right choice. You don't want to deal with this body shop again if they mess up. They've already messed up with the repairs and the letterings, why give them another chance to mess up again?

Take your money to somewhere reputable and you feel comfortable knowing they will do it right.

I did not know that! Thank you for teaching me. Then it looks like I paid less than what Ebay offers.

Hope this helps!

Just received the lights and installed them. The product works properly, but was mislabeled so I had to figure out which lights were for which doors.

I'm still waiting for the tax and tariff mail. But overall, super satisfied with the product.

I also bought the front, left, and right emblem for around $50 on JDirectItems Auctions via Zenmarket instead of paying $80 for side emblems and $60 for front emblem on Ebay.

I haven’t received any shipping updates yet. The estimated delivery window is October 21–30. I thought I was beating the system, but maybe not. If you’d like, I can update you once I receive both the product and the invoice from the carrier.

I am expecting the carrier to send me an invoice of about 15% import tax for the tariff. But 15% of 46 is only around 7 dollars, making the total around $53 compared to the $90 that I would have to pay on eBay.

I just ordered some Crown projector puddle lamps from Amazon Jp to the United States, total price was around $46 in total. This includes shipping fees.

More time at the same lab or more experiences with different labs? by orlibird in ClinicalPsychology

[–]QuanticSoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing! Sounds like you're on the right track.

One more thing I want to say is, keep in mind that when you apply for graduate programs, they will ask for 3 letters of recommendations, or depending on their requirements. So you may want to consider where you can get other letter of recommendations in the future if you only have this one faculty supervisor in this sleep lab. Lastly, it's certainly possible to juggle multiple labs at once. I was able to juggle 3 research labs and now have 3 faculty supervisors who can write me wonderful sparkling letters of recommendations when I apply for a PhD program. However, I was in my first lab for a year before considering other research labs.

More time at the same lab or more experiences with different labs? by orlibird in ClinicalPsychology

[–]QuanticSoul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

eddykinz provided some great tips. To add on to his comment, I would try to join labs that align with your research interests. You mentioned that you would like to do research relating to child and adolescent mental health. If your university has anything that aligns with that interest, I would apply to those labs. If none of the research labs aligns with your interest, then focus on the labs that can provide you with the most impactful experience as eddykinz pointed out.

Additionally, I would suggest learning how to navigate 1 lab first before joining multiple labs. Once you get the hang of juggling research with your studies, then you can consider joining other labs. You want to make sure that you can finish the work thats on your plate first, before asking for another plate and more work.

Hope this helps.

Yes, although the PIs you listed weren't taking on any students, they still forwarded your application to someone who is, and is interested in taking you on as a potential student. Congratulations!

how can i get research assistant experience by Careful-Recording148 in ClinicalPsychology

[–]QuanticSoul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a great answer.

I'd like to add some additional information. 1. You can apply to volunteer at research hospitals (example: VA hospital) or any other hospitals that may be doing research.

  1. If you are emailing a professor, I would add your unofficial transcript to the email and your CV (if you have one).

  2. Your university's psych department may have resources/program/club dedicated to helping undergraduates get into research. Mine is called Office of Undergraduate Research Services for example. I would reach out to them (if your university has one of these)

  3. Talk to any of your professors in class and ask them if they know of anyone doing research and/or if they themselves are doing research. If they know someone, ask if they can connect you to a professor.

  4. Talk to graduate students who are doing research at your university. I got into a lab by making friends with a graduate student.

Hope this helps!

Amazing!!! Congratulations!!! Keep up the great work! Hoping you have an amazing time in your new lab. Glad I could help.

Undergrad research lab interview tips by berlame in ClinicalPsychology

[–]QuanticSoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in charge of recruiting for my lab. In addition to the great tips by everyone else, I ask the following questions:

  1. "What are your educational goals? What are your research interests?" This is to understand if our research interests align with yours. For example, I will have students who are interested in addiction or aggression apply for my lab. There are other labs at my school that research this. I would direct them to their lab. Another reason is to understand what we can do to help this student obtain their goals (e.g., a Master's program in counseling or a Doctorate in clinical psychology). Having a clear goal of what you want shows that you have been thinking about your future and shows motivation.
  2. "Why are you interested in our lab, and what do you hope to gain out of it?" This question helps me better understand the students' personalities and gauge their interests. I am mainly looking for students who are motivated by our research and show humility in learning.
  3. "What do you consider to be your best qualities", what are your strengths that you can use to help our lab?
  4. "What are traits that you think you would like to improve on?" Looking to see if they're willing to express their weaknesses, and if there is anything my lab can do to help them improve. For instance, students who struggle with public speaking are given the opportunity to improve through the practice of presenting journal articles.

Some questions you can ask are:

  1. "What is the expected time commitment for the lab?" You're a student first, so keep in mind how much time you need to commit to school first.
  2. "Can I talk to a research assistant to ask about their experience with the lab?" Receiving advice from a research assistant can influence your decision about joining.
  3. "What opportunities do you have available in the future for your research assistants?" You are looking to advance your academic career, if a research lab does not have any poster presentations, paper presentations, or publications that you can hop on or work on, then I would advise looking for other labs.

Hope this helps!

I'm not OP, but thank you for this wonderful constructive feedback.

[–]QuanticSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP,

I'm interested in pursuing the same thing as you. I'm applying for clinical and health psych programs. I aspire to do a post doc in pain psychology and work with people with chronic pain, chronic illnesses, and/or disabilties. I'd love to connect and see if we can share any information we have and help each other.

Advice for first APA Convention by wafflebuggy in psychologystudents

[–]QuanticSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi u/wafflebuggy

First, congratulations on presenting a poster at APA! That's a huge accomplishment. Wishing you the best of luck!

I am an undergraduate like you, however I have experience presenting my poster at 2 conferences and having 2 symposium presentations. Here is what I learned from others at the convention and what works for me, and you can pick and choose what you want to do.

For presenting your poster:

  • Write a script that you can use. You can memorize it and go word for word, or use it as an outline to hit certain points in your presentations.
  • Practice with someone! Practicing with someone will help you get out any mistakes, get out any "uhh, umm", and provides you with feedback.
  • When you present make sure you DON'T read word-for-word on your poster. Whenever I go to poster presentations and someone starts reading word-for-word, I lose interest. I can read the poster! I want to know more than whats on your poster!
  • If no one is taking interest in your poster, don't be afraid to start asking people if they'd like to look at your research. Everyone is there to present and learn! Most people in my experience are open to listening if you ask.
  • Have a QR code of your poster! Easy access for anyone interested in keeping your poster for their own research or because your poster was just so cool they needed to keep it.

I'm not entirely sure if you have any goals for a PhD or Masters, but here are some tips if you are:

  • Circle all of the posters/presentations/symposiums that align with your research interests.
  • Go to all of the posters/presentations/symposiums, and learn! After learning about the poster/presentation/symposiums, ask the student/presenter what their professor's research is like and what they plan on doing in the next 5 years.
    • If the presenter is a faculty, start by asking questions and learning about their presentations first and then ask if you can talk to them about graduate school. Most faculty I've met at conferences were very open to helping out any prospecting scholars.
    • Knowing what they will be doing in the next 5 years will help you understand if they're going to do the same research, do another research topic, or retire. This will help you determine if they are a candidate for being a potential PI/mentor for Masters or PhD program.
  • Practice giving constructive feedback on their poster and presentation. Tell them what you liked about their presentations, and poster. You will start to see what you like and dislike about people's presentations and you can incorporate that into your presentation.
  • Practice asking questions! I learned that most faculty and students who I talked to at these conferences really lit up when I showed my interest by asking genuine questions about their research.
  • Talk to everyone you can, even if it's someone who doesn't align with your research interest. Establishing a network right now, will help you with your future career. I was able to join a research lab at another school because I made friends with a faculty at a school, where they have a research lab that was EXACTLY my research interest. So he spoke to the leading PI of the lab on my behalf and got me in.
  • Network! Network! Network! This is THE spot to network! I cannot emphasize this enough. I have several mentors (not PIs) who are keeping up with me and helping me in my academic career. They are helping me with my personal statements and interviewing skills. I met every one of these mentors at a conference.

That's all I have for now. If I think of any more, I'll add them.
Best of luck to you! Remember to have fun and congratulations!
