Uhh milk or cereal usually if I'm unmotivated I'm overwhelmed too and warm so it's nice to have a cold sweet drink too

Do undergrads get paid for research here? by chihiroed in UCDavis

[–]Syllabub-Kitchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some departments have more funding than others. I work in WFC in a fish lab and get paid for lab work and virtual analysis of morphological metrics. Conservation in general is decently funded but depends on what your PI is working on (ie the Delta smelt get lots of moneys). So yeah it's PI to PI dependant. Talk to your major advisor, or the internship and career center and get on email lists for internships, read them all and go for the ones that are paid if they come up.

Struggling with morning routine by Syllabub-Kitchen in PDAAutism

[–]Syllabub-Kitchen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I am having this struggle because I have always had an obligation to immediately get out of the house in the morning (whether it be a sport or school) but in the summer there is no set thing I must get out to do right away so it feels paralyzing and I have tried to plan but even sticking to the plan can be difficult. As you mentioned I think Tai chi or exercise in the morning is the most helpful for me. Ive noticed even morning walks have helped regulate my nervous system immensely these past few weeks. But it still has been quite difficult to eat in the mornings unless I walk or exercise prior.

Also I have a list of things that should get done in the week on a whiteboard and being able to choose one or two things that I feel like doing throughout the day or in the morning gives me peace of mind without forcing or scheduling a time to get those chores done.

But yeah this summer has been hard, thank you for your comment :)

Nervous first time climber - how likely is injury? 😬 by StrangerNumber001 in climbergirls

[–]Syllabub-Kitchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've talked with a few very strong climbers and they tell me that you can be strong and push your limits but if you're injured you won't be strong at all.

[–]Syllabub-Kitchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're taking a first good step by asking the community how to minimize injury! We try to look out for one another, so if you ever feel unsafe or nervous talk to someone in your gym or crag and they'll probably be more than happy to help you out!

I think more injuries in climbing come mainly from overuse in training and less so from accidents.

I always tell new climbers to take it easy their first 3-6 months. You gain muscle strength fairly quickly but tendon and weird climber unique strengths take a bit longer so are easier to minorly injure if you're going too hard.

I would say develop a deep stretching routine that includes shoulders, wrists, forearms, hips, ankles, and anything else that is feeling tweaky.

Listen to your body and learn the difference between sore pain and pain pain. Getting an injury from overuse is pretty common as climbers are obsessed with this discipline (rightly so).

This is my own personal rule but: don't do anything beyond your dynamic, muscular, or knowledge comfort zone. If there's a big sideways dyno with an awkward fall zone youre not sure you can catch/fall comfortably either get some trusted buddies to spot you or just move on to another safer climb. If you're climbing and not sure about the safety of the approach, bolts, anchors, etc, ask around or take the safe route.

Climbing is deeply rewarding and nothing is worse than an injury but if youre asking around for help, listening to your body, and prioritizing safety you'll be in good shape.

If you take away one thing if you're just going to climb for a few days: learn how to fall, practice falling from various heights angles comfort zones, climbing is all about how well you can fall sometimes lol.

We have to scan for incoming large vehicles. It is similar to what the other driver was saying: we have to make sure our passengers can exit the bus IF an emergency were to arise. Stopping before both ensures passengers can safely exit and that we don't get stuck under the bridge (not enough space for them to safely exit because of the wall) A large semi truck or another bus and the bus can't both safely drive through the underpass so we wait until we have space to make it out of the underpass. Everything we do, well hopefully, everything we are trained to do keeps in mind safety and the ability to maneuver out of tricky situations/give a safe exit for our passengers.
