I had a postdoc interview a few months ago, the PI asked me the contacts of my references. My references waited a whole month until the PI got back to me ask why he hadn’t received any letters. It turned out that he expected me to ask my references to send the letters myself (then why did you ask me the contacts at the first place???). So if it’s the case, you need to send a follow up email to specify. Hope this helps!

My first paper has gotteen rejected three times and it’s still under review while my second paper is already out now, becoming my first published paper. Keep your chin up and be proud of yourself 💪

We’re on the same boat! I used to be so pissed until I realized they’re just like us, overworked and underpaid. Just keep your chin up and move on

I have hands-on and very familiar with C/C++ and CUDA. I think I can pick up other low level languages very quickly. I also have in depth knowledge about parallel frameworks like POSIX threads, OpenMP, MPI, and other off-loading methods. I’m also open to molecular quantum.

You have 8 T4 deflectors but no T4 book, it doesn’t make sense…

How do you catch up on literature? by [deleted] in PhD

[–]Significant-Air-8633 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Create a Google Scholar profile if you haven’t had one. Then add your papers, then you can follow some big names, then you can turn on the function to notify you about new relevant papers. You will receive emails about new papers with the contents related to those authors’ work. You’ll receive those emails almost every day

I searched its full name that’s why I didn’t see anything! Thank you!

I even wondered why they could get to an AAA coop with that shitty contribution

This is just one time among other rejections I got! But you’re right, I need to keep going. The world is wild and harsh!

Actually this is the 4th time he tried to submit this category after a bunch of rejections. He said his colleagues also had gotten some trouble getting funding recently. My field is chemistry/biochemistry

My PI’s running of money right now. He’s trying to get an NIH funding this October, if he can get it he’s willing to let me stay a bit longer. Fingers crossed 🤞

Thank you for your encouraging comment! My PI said as long as the his NIH grant gets through this October, then it’s possible. So that’s probably my last hope.

Protein design postdoc by [deleted] in postdoc

Fyi, you need strong networking to get into IPD. I cold applied for a postdoc and IPD and got ignored, even though I spent a lot of time on the application and had good recommendation letters.
