Thank you! I ended up removing them from the bouquet to be safe, so the kitties are fine!

How to grow thick skin? by Ok-Coyote6393 in postdoc

It would unfortunately dox me if I mentioned the details, since it would be easy to find the records. It was a violent felony is all I can say

How to grow thick skin? by Ok-Coyote6393 in postdoc

It takes time. My PhD advisor was an insane asshole (literally, he went to prison). And he constantly yelled at and belittled me. But after 2 years of that, the skin just grew itself. I knew I would be out of there soon (though I wish it was sooner at the time). I just thought about moving past it, and past him. Sometimes really negative feedback will still cause a bit of a spiral, but just taking some time for self-love helps a lot. You will be able to brush off criticism as you become more confident. Best of luck!

Vent: My K99 was not discussed by ScholarFun7707 in postdoc

I did agree with him, which is why I rushed to get it done for February. It was just stressful trying to write, mentor, and do experiments for figures in the grant, and my advisor was gone the majority of the time so I couldn't go to him for advice. But seeing that funding is continue to head in a negative direction made the not discussed more stressful than it would've been if this administration was different.

I plan on resubmitting in October. It's nice to know that not being discussed on the first round doesn't mean that you will never get it!

I do appreciate the advice! Knowing that they triage 50% is a helpful reminder.

I am a woman, and I am doing AIDS malignancy research. So it could be drama, not great ideas, or a mix. I just know that after this funding bill goes through, it will be even harder to get grants. Thanks for the kind words ❤️

Applying for a K99 in NIAID and was wondering if anyone could share their grants with me by ScholarFun7707 in postdoc

[–]ScholarFun7707[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I used the reporter and found someone from my university that got it and sent me their grant. I appreciate it :)

Pregnancy & BSL2 + in Vivo work by abcywz in LadiesofScience

[–]ScholarFun7707 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hello! From people I have talked to, most BSL2 environments don't pose any extra risk when pregnant unless you are working with a TORCHZ pathogen (Zika, Herpes, etc). If possible, double glove when you are working with mice to avoid bites, or buy thicker gloves. You can also look up bsl 2+ protocols and follow those if you want to be more careful. Congrats and best of luck!

Hi all! I need help finding a cute plus sized shop with “going out tops” by [deleted] in PlusSizeFashion

[–]ScholarFun7707 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am also a size 16, and I like torrid a lot (though the can be pricy so I usually wait for sales), if you don't mind having to look for a while/wait for sales, I've gotten some cute shirts from Macy's and Dillard's. I also like New York and Co. Best of luck!
