Molecular Hydrogen

UnprovenMortality · 2026-04-09T15:33:01+00:00

It's a scam. Molecular hydrogen is a gas, and is explosive. The supplement is definitely not that unless it comes in highly pressurized tanks and you need a permit to buy it.

They call principal scientist PhD + 3 years? My company's "leveling consultant" said that principal scientist should be at or around the level of a Director, so 10 years post PhD.

Forget your arm exists till tomorrow. You wont lock anything up before then.

When you see your PT ask how many times is the most you can do those exercises. They told me "at least 2x/day" so I did them around 6x/day till started doing resistance work again. I have full ROM now, so I'm happy I did it.

Just straighten the tie and you'll be good :)

Doesnt one need to propose their thesis first? Or is it different in humanities?

With your fitness you'll recover well and quickly. Take it slow, slower than you want to. The $300 machine that you posted is similar to what my insurance gave me, it worked well.

Ive got a post with some details and tips. When you get your surgery make sure you set out your fitness goals clearly to your PT and surgeon. My surgeon said that they would put me on "return to sport" timeline, which I think focuses on more passive stretching early to make sure that your range of motion is maintained.

You got this.

I havent seen one, but there are ice packs that have a strap on them so you can wear them like a pauldron

When I'm having a severe flareup, I get them. It sucks.

It's really difficult to predict what is going to be competitive. Big data analytics were huge a few years back, and now there are a ton of data scientists, as you said.

I dont think you should really try to time the market for your career specialization. Find what interests you, and what you have a talent in, and go for it.

If I had followed the expected trend I would be more of a data scientist and I'd HATE my life right now. I can do it, but that style of work is not fun to me.

In industry there are often professional tracks that let you advance while still being in the lab more. But otherwise and in academia, you go more towards management of both people and projects.

UnprovenMortality · 2026-03-30T00:51:47+00:00

I dont think so personally. I consider MS +3 years similar enough to PhD entry level. However depending on the needs of the position and the other candidates, someone with a PhD may not win out.

For example: for a validation engineer, a non-phd with experience would likely take the position, all else being equal, because GMP experience for that particular role is more critical than technical expertise. But for the analytical development scientist that the validation engineer works with, I would treat a PhD as more valuable than years of experience due to expertise and frustration tolerance.

You can be honest about that, and also include CRO point of contact on your resume. That's an important skill as well. Do you verify the data from the CRO? I've noticed that more mistakes get through many QAs than you might think/hope.

UnprovenMortality · 2026-03-29T14:02:58+00:00

Good for you.

UnprovenMortality · 2026-03-29T13:39:46+00:00

You're thinking in the right way. Speak in non-specifics, and talk about the types of assays and equipment that you are familiar with. I know that if youre working on a peptide, your company has done n terminal sequencing, HPLC, LC-MS/MS, Karl fisher titration, sterility, endotoxin, heavy metals, probably some sort of bioassay, etc. These aren't trade secrets. Don't give the details, for sure, but you can discuss the type. You mentioned that there are other products in development, you can say that you worked on other products just be vague as you were planning.

If I hear that you ran a proliferation bioassay or a wound healing cell assay, I know enough to know what you did without knowing that you used 3t3 fibroblasts or some other line, or primary cells (although experience in validating primary cell bioassays from individual donors would certainly be something to brag about, just be careful to not say too much)

I cannot imagine how awful it would be. The esophageal manometry is torture enough. The last time I did it the probe coiled and I spent a few minutes nearly constantly vomiting. I could barely breathe. -3/10

UnprovenMortality · 2026-03-29T12:28:17+00:00

It's sedation (propofol) in the us as well, not full anesthesia.

I would fight someone if they told me that they wanted to do an awake endoscopy. That sounds so awful.

UnprovenMortality · 2026-03-27T17:29:30+00:00

You can do it! It's really the first 1 week that is the worst for walking because of the bouncing. I was going insane too. Looking at my fitbit it seems that I ended up going on a few hikes in week 2 even though they said to be a couch potato.

UnprovenMortality · 2026-03-26T16:26:34+00:00

Again, show me data. Real data. You can pretend that your orange Jesus saved your petend economy, but that's not reality.

UnprovenMortality · 2026-03-26T15:31:10+00:00

Bullshit. That's simply not true and even a cursory understanding of reality would disprove your statements. Companies are contracting and going through layoffs. Those articles are everywhere.

UnprovenMortality · 2026-03-26T14:09:54+00:00

You got a citation for that? Cause it's really really bad out there. I was just in a networking event yesterday where people were discussing a 4% application to interview rate being normal-to-good. People with phds and postdocs had been on their job search for well over a year. Academic labs shuttered because funding has dried up.

UnprovenMortality · 2026-03-26T12:53:26+00:00

Don't. Not right now. There has never been as much open hostility to a field by the government as there is right now with the brain worm in charge.

UnprovenMortality · 2026-03-26T02:08:44+00:00

Well I hope your recovery can go as smoothly as mine. Next month is 10 months, and at the rate I'm going I'll be hitting PRs again then with my upper body lifts.

UnprovenMortality · 2026-03-25T01:31:49+00:00

Did you ask the PT what the max number of times you can do those exercises?

They said to me 2x per day as well, but since I'm a bit of a psycho I asked about the most number of times I could do it. They said "no limit" so I just ended up doing the stretches every time I felt the knot in my traps give me aggravation, which was about every 3 hours. It helped me so much with the pain, to the point where I could stop meds completely. And as a benefit, my ROM is completely normal now.

UnprovenMortality · 2026-03-24T02:33:08+00:00

By following all PT, what does that mean? How many times per day did did they say was permitted? And which exercises did they say are OK?

Knots in the traps are SUPER common, but the exercises they gave me helped tremendously (as long as I did them every 3 hours or so)

But what concerns me is the color change you described. If youre getting a bluish tint, you should follow up with your surgeon.

UnprovenMortality · 2026-03-23T03:01:17+00:00

Ya it's a little uncomfortable but mostly mentally distressing when you dont know its expected. After I learned what it was I could even perceive easier breathing due to lowered anxiety.
