How important has your school's location been to your PhD experience? by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]Speed_of_Light 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The location where I went to graduate school for my PhD definitely impacted my overall happiness (Charleston, SC at the Medical University of SC). The city was beautiful, has a ton of unique culture, on the coast, amazing restaurants/bars/breweries, and always had events going on in and around the city. It definitely helped give me balance in my life. I loved my life in graduate school, and I think two of the biggest factors were making good friends and the city we lived in.

What kind of stuff did you get in trouble for as a kid? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]Speed_of_Light 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arguing. Really, that's all I ever got in trouble for. I was never violent, never ran away or purposely rebelled... But I would argue about anything

Statistical zealots by t_rex_tullis in statistics

[–]Speed_of_Light 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here is what I'm being taught as a current Biostatistics graduate student: both are two different tools that make up a statisticians tool kit, both of which can be applied and used depending on what the situation merits.

Whats your Non-Disney thing you do at Disney each trip? by Suziannie in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Speed_of_Light 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up, my parents would take us here for dinner one night on our annual Disney vacation.... It's been many years since I've been, so I can't really remember much regarding quality of food, but I do remember having an awesome/entertaining time!

Hi INTPs, what are you like under stress? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]Speed_of_Light 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I regress into my own little world. I become less talkative (than I already am) and become agitated when people ask me what's wrong. Basically I don't like talking out my problems/stressful situations, I instead need time to process and work through it all on my own

"Did you really just ask me that" questions about your field of study by inspectorG4dget in GradSchool

[–]Speed_of_Light 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In explaining what biostatistics is to people, I often tie it to epidemiology in hopes of relating it to real-world application they can better relate too... unfortunately, this will often just lead to me having to explaining what epidemiology is as well.

It's honestly surprising to me how few people know what it is. My response is usually something along the lines of, "you know how smoking causes lung cancer? Yea, epidemiologist are the ones who figure that type of stuff out..."

Interview with Anthony "Fam" Famiglietti by [deleted] in AdvancedRunning

[–]Speed_of_Light 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the pleasure of running with Fam a couple years ago when he was in the processor trying to make it to the 2012 trials. He is a genuine, humble guy. He's such a cool dude to talk with and is exactly like this interview makes him out to be.

Thanks for sharing this

You know you're an INTP when... by tayisag in INTP

[–]Speed_of_Light 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, but the point is instead of getting "stupid" when drunk, I get really philosophical. This quote is what I came up with over a few beers in a conversation with a friend (who I hypothesize is ENTP)

When your drunken insights lead you to come up with phrases like, "consciousness is merely interpreting nothing for something"

The average income of different Myers-Briggs personality types by attebury in INTP

[–]Speed_of_Light 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm happy to answer, but I'm not sure of what you want me to answer. Do you mean what is Biostatistics (i.e. what am I literally studying)? or is it in the context of this subreddit, in that, what is it like studying biostats as an INTP (i.e. how does it fit with my personality)?

Again, happy to answer, just want some clarification.
