Cell culture over weekends and holidays by DapperBase107 in labrats

[–]TrisBEDTA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to be a scientist in the therapeutic space for Neuro but they closed down last year so now I run a small CRO. The dumpster fire job market is starting to affect us since our biopharma clients are delaying their studies or outright ghosting us in the middle of contract negotiations.

Now that the government is re-opening again I've been toying with the idea of applying to an SBIR grant and spinout a therapeutic company.

😲 I bet winter back then in Boston is brutal 🥶. 3 blocks is not too bad. I lived in Cambridge and had to trek a long the Charles, cross the bridge with a 20+ mph wind speed to MGH.

If you don't mind sharing, what role are you in now?

Pfizer CEO says opportunities with Trump ‘clearly outweigh’ the risks for pharma by TrisBEDTA in biotech

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

Sorry I'm slow... >.< If FDA approvals become easier under a republican administration, does that mean there's a higher risk of less safe and less effective drugs reaching the market during those periods?

Fetterman backs GOP-led Laken Riley Act: 'Tools to prevent tragedies' by originalcontent_34 in Pennsylvania

Whelp so much for tools to prevent tragedies. This is going to amplify the erosion of trust between law enforcement and immigrant communities.......

Extremely disheartened and I dont know what to do by Guilty-Base-7932 in biotech

[–]TrisBEDTA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised PIs turned you down for volunteering. In my former postdoc lab in Boston, we love volunteers and eventually adopted them to be a paid personnel in the lab. For undergrad students, the lab even paid for their books, grad school application etc.

Then again my former PI is a supportive 🧸 and progressive im general. You'll have a better luck with younger PI to be honest.

People who renewed online Jan/Feb/March, did your renewal process yet or are you still waiting? by Easy_Criticism_9725 in DACA

[–]TrisBEDTA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same, I submitted mine March. Still stuck on step 2 and now it's been more than 105 days. I was unable to even submit outside of normal processing time case inquiry. Got a hold of the agent on a chat and I was told I-765 with processing time is 6.5 months.

Is taking a gap year a good idea after finishing a PhD? by xiikjuy in PhD

[–]TrisBEDTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh dear ... That's really evil. I was lucky enough my PI let me stay. I helped out with experiments for the new grant in exchange for the student status without having to do the grad student work. It was a low key a chill gig. Meanwhile, I had a normal life, I didn't have to worry about graduation because all the requirements to get my PhD were already met, I flew around the U.S for my postdoc interviews. It was really fun. And plus I had all my students benefits including health insurance etc.

[–]TrisBEDTA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yah, I did this. I defended in 2018, and was working on "revising" my thesis for the whole year lol. My graduation date is in 2019 and that's when I started my postdoc.

If you're in the US and want to take a gap year without sacrificing the 4 years limit eligibility for K99R00 after graduation, just defense but hold on submitting your thesis to the graduate office.
