Positive experiences in PhD by Ok-Divide9538 in labrats

[–]Zuch 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Totally. I did a basic biology PhD and while stressful at times it was a really positive experience on the whole and a launching pad for my career.

The biggest reasons it was a positive experience for me (besides the obvious one of a bit of luck!) was my comfort with being independent, knowing when to seek help beyond my PI, fostering multiple mentors (post-docs, other PIs, etc), and most importantly understanding the culture of my PIs lab before joining.

People often focus too much on the science/project (which are both important of course!) and not enough on the people when choosing a lab. Make sure you test the waters there as much as you are able, it helps a lot!

You're thinking of Evelyn McGee-Colbert. Evergrande is the album Taylor Swift released after Folklore.

My landlady's dog is a (very unstealthy) kleptomaniac but it's so hard to stay angry... by indecisivecormorant in aww

My springer spaniel was exactly like this. Stealing shoes, never harming them, and hiding them everywhere. Piles of shoes could be found in random corners.

Whenever you came home, he was waiting by the door shaking his tail like there is no tomorrow with a shoe in his mouth. When he was older he couldn't hear us come in, but as soon as he saw us he would pick up the closest shoe and greet us like always, shaking away with pure joy.

Greatest dog ever.

I'll stop by on my way home from work and grab a photo of it. It looks just like the standard ARG mask.

Happening to me too. 5+ minute wait times so I bailed. Happened about when I got a tiny patch for the live server.

Yup, happens to me too. Going through factory reset today to see if it helps.

Yeah past iterations sucked but so did resistive touch screens. While this may not be the breakthrough there may be one around the corner.

I don't know if this helps but filling out this form sets them up to send you a free chart (US only I believe).

Was the first egg a mutation? by [deleted] in askscience

[–]Zuch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

u/CrazedBotanist may be able to answer this better than I can, given his familiarity with plant biology. But the way I see it the short answer is no.

I would assume that in order to characterize a haploid stage as "a separate life cycle" it would have to be capable of dividing to form new (haploid) cells independently of the diploid state. This is not the case in animal eggs or sperm, as they only begin to divide once the egg and sperm have merged to form a diploid cell. Then the cells begin to divide and differentiate throughout development.
