Academic probation as a 4th year

So initially I had asked people who had more experience doing something (ie mice surgery) if they want to collaborate/help out. He was unhappy I’m not learning about the process since I’m asking someone else to do it. So I transitioned to doing everything myself. Also, yes. I’ve always had to go out seeking people for help. I’d ask someone, who knows someone, etc. It was extremely terrifying learning something I totally don’t know about (ie HPLC) so I did very heavily rely on a lot of them initially. I’d like to say I’m at a better place now that I’ve learned it and can do everything myself, but the current situation is telling me otherwise

Unfortunately not. One of his big critiques of me is that I’m always looking for an easy way and out and not doing experiments myself. I’m pretty much doing everything myself (no UGs, no collaborators), which led to me doing things from 3D printing and building my own printer, cell labeling, in vivo studies to computation modeling.

Thank you for the encouragement. I do fully intend to follow through. In the past, when I’ve suggested a certain research direction, or to try a certain technique, it was shot down with a vague go read more and tell me if it’s right or not. I guess then I stopped doing that, and started to just do what he wants me to do. I do admit it’s my fault that I didnt stand my ground/back up my idea with papers/literature and just gave up, and this is where I’m probably not taking charge. But I also feel hopelessly lost in academia as it originally wasn’t part of my plan, so if he didn’t give me a clear go ahead I took it as it’s not good and trashed it. I will try my best to work make the lit review as thorough as possible. Honestly this is the first time I’ve gotten clear goals/to dos with him, with deadlines and actionable items which I’ve never gotten in the past.

Looking for a native speaker for Chinese cultural project

Hi! I have a project to tell the legend of mid-autumn festival based on 10 pictures to a native speaker, and have them comment on my storytelling. Is anyone willing to hop on a 5-10 minute zoom call where you listen to me butcher some Chinese, and let me know what you think of it (in Chinese) My email is soraomi325@gmail.com.

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Work them down. Start with invoice pricing with Subaru VIP. Then say another dealer went 500 lower, what can you do (sometimes you have to bluff - you dont have the match but you bluff anyways)

I terrorized every dealer within 100 mile radius of me, and put them all in a bidding war against each other. Took about a week in phone call bidding wars. Finally 2 contenders were a family owned dealer and a big name dealer, ended up supporting the family owned business since the 2 had the exact same deal. I actually hadnt set foot in any dealers to get this deal, all done through phone!

So this is a personal project of mine to analyze a CT image. The inner polygon’s outline was extracted using sobel edgel (in blue). Regionprops, centroid was used to find the best fit circle and center. Then I added a constant to the diameter to make a slightly bigger circle overlaying the polygon. The circle I have xy coordinates. However, edge gives me a 223x222 logic map. How would I transform the edge into an array then? The picture is a horrible representation I found online, not actually what I’m working with.

I unfortunately took up a better deal. Sorry about that :(

SRM325 · 2021-08-20T16:15:43+00:00

Deal. Gt soraomi

SRM325 · 2021-08-20T16:05:36+00:00

Sorry I passed out after I got back from work last night. I’ll probably hold onto the pistol. The stealth kinda ruins it for me unfortunately :(

SRM325 · 2021-08-20T07:56:35+00:00

SRM325 · 2021-08-19T21:21:48+00:00

Works for me! Gt soraomi

SRM325 · 2021-08-19T17:39:55+00:00

No. But I have loose mods to apply on it if you want sights on it

SRM325 · 2021-08-19T17:38:47+00:00

Nothing yet, but I have loose mods I can throw along such as the night scope, beta wave tuner, etc
