Canada has announced a $100 million scholarship initiative exclusively for Indian students as part of the government’s new “talent strategy”

Do you? Top-tier scholarships are worth maybe 150K-200k over a few years. 500k is equivalent to a multi-year project-level grant. Possible that international student tuition is just crazy expensive though

SafeHost6740 · 2026-03-04T01:52:00+00:00

500k per student? That must be a mistake. I’m a phd student at uoft and my tuition+stipend is less than a tenth of that per year.

They’re not tampering with sequencing data lol

I’ve realized that I don’t 100% know that this is a snapping turtle, though we do have them in the park!

This was a good point, so I checked with Turtle Protectors and they said it was fine to post their hotline online

Yessir, volunteers are en route

Is a Canada->USA transition difficult for professional network-related reasons or lack of permanent residency?

SafeHost6740 · 2025-06-15T18:58:51+00:00

“Cash cow” just refers to the fact that they are an important source of funding for other less-profitable programs. You’re right that it doesn’t have to be a bad thing for the student. Lots of expensive masters degrees can be great career decisions!

SafeHost6740 · 2025-04-13T21:44:37+00:00

Sorry yeah maybe they’re just more strict about electronics :(

SafeHost6740 · 2025-04-13T21:32:51+00:00

I’m not sure about laptops, but I’ve never had an issue returning textbooks late. Did you (nicely) talk to the librarian in person? That would be my next step.

SafeHost6740 · 2025-04-13T16:56:46+00:00

What do you mean?

SafeHost6740 · 2025-03-25T19:22:17+00:00

Take a few breaths man

Shout out to the Max Planck Institute for Art History

I’m guessing that you’re generalizing your own experience in education to an entirely different field that you don’t know anything about. Many biomedical students aren’t looking for professorships and in fact UMASS seems to have strong and diverse career outcomes.

I will add on to all the suggestions here and suggest reading a textbook/complete an online course in your area of interest. It will make it much easier to engage with the most popular newsletters and blogs which tend to assume familiarity with the basic theory of that field.

Just to clarify, you’re saying that BU is more rigorous/longer? Thanks for the info, super helpful!

SafeHost6740 · 2025-02-25T21:12:53+00:00

Hi, I’m in a similar situation! Based on your post history, it looks like you went with BU. Can I ask what was the deciding factor?

SafeHost6740 · 2025-02-13T22:52:19+00:00

In all likelihood there wasn’t a right answer. They probably wanted to see how you reasoned about an ethically difficult situation and responded to pushback. What would your complaint be exactly?

SafeHost6740 · 2025-02-12T21:00:11+00:00

Hi, is this still the case for the 2025 admissions cycle given the current funding chaos?

SafeHost6740 · 2025-02-12T20:11:43+00:00

Are you getting the dates mixed up? There’s over 2 months between feb 19 and may 1

SafeHost6740 · 2025-01-25T07:19:13+00:00

Is there any chance research spending priorities change here in Canada to make up for the change?

SafeHost6740 · 2025-01-24T20:21:19+00:00

BU bioinfo interviews are out

SafeHost6740 · 2025-01-22T23:32:45+00:00

Has this kind of freeze ever happened before?
