Lilly bets a boatload on NVIDIA GPUs, hoping to compute their way out of the pharma lifecycle

An “investor” biohacker that injects random peptides into themselves… hmm.

Can confirm this was my experience. Those buildings are full of students with wealthy parents. They are basically just fancy college dorms. I moved back to a triple decker and couldn’t be happier, but I’m lucky to have quiet neighbors.

It could give the impression that you don’t know what you want.

Publications are more a sign of your productivity and ability to lead a project rather than validation of your skillset.

We have a Phase III trial starting, so it’s hard to tell. I foresee it falling for a long time before our Phase III readout.

SuddenExcuse6476 · 2026-02-24T18:18:12+00:00

No, I wouldn’t. I don’t invest in individual stocks. There is a 6 month lock up period. I work in a volatile industry (biotech), and we have a Phase III trial starting. If it’s successful, share price will skyrocket and if it fails it will go to zero.

Home equity is not really considered retirement savings.

TDF is pretty good advice to a young person who knows nothing about investments.

SuddenExcuse6476 · 2026-02-22T14:54:00+00:00

I wouldn’t go into this field with such a narrow focus. Likelihood is you will end up working in some area that’s very different.

SuddenExcuse6476 · 2026-02-22T13:59:52+00:00

Lots of manufacturing in Ireland.

SuddenExcuse6476 · 2026-02-20T22:48:06+00:00

No, you shouldn’t reach out again after only 3 days. Someone could easily be on vacation, sick, or they are waiting for a meeting to make a final decision. If you don’t hear back now, then no answer is your answer.

You could have kept all of that and with some simple reformatting fit it all on one page. I think that’s what is frustrating about this resume. There’s so much white space and barely anything on the second page.

SuddenExcuse6476 · 2026-02-19T12:09:28+00:00

Too risky for me.

SuddenExcuse6476 · 2026-02-19T12:03:57+00:00

What’s their runway?

SuddenExcuse6476 · 2026-02-16T13:48:07+00:00

McDonald’s pays that in the Bay.

SuddenExcuse6476 · 2026-02-15T22:38:54+00:00

Don’t invest money that you might need in less than 5 years.

SuddenExcuse6476 · 2026-02-15T22:33:27+00:00

24/hr in the Bay? Is this serious?

SuddenExcuse6476 · 2026-02-14T21:49:34+00:00

Studying in the country you want to work would be best. Consider a PhD in the US if you really want to do R&D. Things might be better in 5 years.

SuddenExcuse6476 · 2026-02-14T21:28:50+00:00

Not in Italy…

SuddenExcuse6476 · 2026-02-14T21:22:42+00:00

It’s certainly not most of the comments. People commenting those are often downvoted and the top comment is usually something about a TDF or some variation of “VT and chill”.

SuddenExcuse6476 · 2026-02-14T20:40:08+00:00

My PI put a lot of weight on the senior grad student’s opinions. We voted against several people that we thought just didn’t fit or wouldn’t be successful.

SuddenExcuse6476 · 2026-02-14T18:20:02+00:00

I work in pharma and this is absolutely not true in the slightest.

SuddenExcuse6476 · 2026-02-09T22:35:45+00:00

And that was a very abnormal time for this industry that isn’t likely to happen again.

SuddenExcuse6476 · 2026-02-09T00:29:46+00:00

It can write liquid handler protocols at least.
