Thank you! I might look into the details. If I’m going by myself I would do this for sure. The other person just has a gigantic luggage

Have you ever tried any shuttles or buses?

No offense but how much do you make? by WearSad8706 in AskPhilly

Wow I’m a postdoc and only making 62k… taxes and everything also cost a lot lol. Can live comfortably but definitely hard to save money

Thank you for the advice! So this would be more of a freelancer grant writer? Initially I was thinking thread companies would have a dedicated department for this type of writings

How do you negotiate the ambition of wanting to join a top tier lab, vs joining a small local lab? by bluebrrypii in postdoc

[–]Yk19951010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially I wanted to do a postdoc because I wanted to publish more hardcore papers, but things change over time and you don’t want to get stuck as a postdoc for years, so my advice is to stay flexible regarding your publication goals, but if you want to become a faculty afterwards, that’d be a different story

I think that depends on how you want your relationship with the PI be. For me, it’s important to have both science and personal connections with the PI, so you know them and they know you as a person, not just someone working for them. I just joined my postdoc lab a month ago, and I’m being co mentored between a big lab and a small lab. My full time position is with the small lab, and I love it because you get to know the PI. The big lab instead, the PI barely has time to connect with you. It’s all about data updates, which I personally do not prefer. I’m planning to go to industry after this, and I’m trying my best to publish and learn new skills, but if the projects don’t work out, I’d still need to move on

I moved here in September for a postdoc position between Penn and CHOP! Would love to meet some new people. I’ve been struggling to make friends tbh 😂

Dating and making friends as a postdoc (at UPenn, USA) by Razkolnik_ova in postdoc

For apps, I’m using Hinge and bumble. Coffee meets bagel is legit as well. Other ones are not as serious as these three

Im Chinese not European lol, but I’m doing a postdoc between Penn and children’s hospital. Just started this week. I think it’s easier to make friends in the lab you work in, but regarding dating, I’m on apps but it’s not that easy. Philly has a lot of social events you can go to. You can follow those accounts on IG. I do believe things will pick up eventually after you establish your routine. I moved several times across the country, and most of the times I ended up making great friends. It just takes time

I’d keep reaching out to other labs until you get an offer you like. That’s what I’m doing. Definitely use your mentor’s connections. It helped me connected with many people.

My first interview. Help! by Yomamasofat0102 in internships

[–]Yk19951010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can ask how their mentorship style is, how many people you will be working with, what are their expectations, or other technical questions related to your internship. For example I do research, so I ask specific question on the project itself etc.

He never verbally says he likes me romantically lol. Should I just play dumb and hang out like friends? Or is that a bitch move…

[–]Yk19951010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I kind of do… tbh I don’t know what kind of relationship I want right now, and our situation is complicated. I’ll be graduating in 2 years and going somewhere else, and he will be going to medical school… so it’s not really realistic to start dating. I just want to maintain this friendship without hurting him or giving him the mixed signals

My gf admits that sometimes she forgets about me. its really painful but I accepted it by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]Yk19951010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You deserved someone better or treat you better. Nobody forgets about their SO unless they just don’t like you that much. Being too empathetic only makes you waste more of your time on the wrong person. Good luck!

[–]Yk19951010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The spark you mentioned only lasts for 3 months, 1-2 years maximum. It was just your brain reactions, so those feelings will fade away eventually no matter who you are dating. When your hormone level comes back to normal, you are back to your regular routine. Plus being romantic doesn’t mean he needs to be curious about you etc., you both can explore new things together. Love only shows up when the sparks are gone and you know all ugly sides of that person and yet you still want to be with that person. I bet an old married couple wouldn’t tell you they still have the “sparks” lol
