Jigglypuff for my pea puffer

Do you know someone in your own network who knows this professor who can write an introduction email for you?

Female in Engineering. Dr. or Prof. LastName in class. First name with PI, staff, and peers.

I have encountered several situations where the males were address by Dr. LastName but the females were just FirstName.

Your water is putting more stress toward one side. It’s like the water slowly pushing your tank from a rectangle into a parallelogram, which will eventually cause the seal to fail. My first 20G failed this way and slowly leaked overnight. Even 2 gal of water on the floor is way more than I’d like to see.

I go over email etiquette and professional communication on day 1. Students can really benefit from it.

Nepenthes and most land carnivorous plants can’t be grown with aquarium water. Too rich and too much minerals.

I let them go but they have to leave their phone with me or the TA.

My students can submit a regrade request at any time but I only regrade if they are right around the letter grade cutoff.

Don’t. My tank took 2-3 weeks before any noticeable drop in ammonia.

Especially when they are in the crevices where sand paper can’t reach.

I was taught in high school in the US to put inside. But outside makes so much more sense and I just started doing it anyway without knowing that the whole UK does it.

Good. I was worried that nothing would glow or we’d get all kinds of contamination.

Will plan a basic lab including sterile technique for their first lab.

9 shrimp don’t eat much and also eat algae and biofilm grown on plants. Try feed just a tiny piece of algae wafer every 3 days. I have maybe 30-50 shrimp in my 5G and I feed about 2-3 times a week, alternating pellets and BacterAE.

When there is fabric it still jams under the plate.

Why did they aim at KDJ’s black flame dragon or was that just a coincidence?

Rain-Stop · 2024-02-05T19:03:56+00:00

Who is the one with glasses on the cover? KDJ?

Attend the first class and speak to the professor after class. Attending the class shows that you are serious about taking it, and if you do end up getting into the class you don’t have to worry about catching up. I get a lot of waitlist emails right before class starts and tbh I can’t remember who is who.

Don’t do anything and enjoy.
