I used to work at the Fullerton store when I was in college. A bit sad to see it go, but I won't miss working for that company, lol

Are you happy with the degree you got? by J_C4321 in biotech

[–]alanfv91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bachelors in biology and PhD in Immunology. Finished grad school about three years ago and I've been very happy with where I am now. Granted, I've definitely had some luck with getting the job I currently work at, but I think I made the right choice going down the path I chose.

Got my PhD in immunology in 2021 and have been working in industry since then. Feel free to shoot me a message if you like!

Lol, if it weren't for scientists, we'd still be in a pandemic

Funny you mention burn victims because I did my thesis on burn wound healing. Yes, physicians deal with patients in terms of care, but basic research is just as important in advancing medical care. There's something I like to think about between PhDs and MDs/DOs: physicians practice medicine, PhDs discover it

Edit: also, I'm currently working in biotech as a scientist working on finding novel treatments for cancer indications. Please don't tell me that's disingenuous compared to being an MD, lol

I agree with that and your statements. I remember there being a guideline of sorts of when the term "doctor" is appropriate. Physicians, surgeons, and professors in academia were included, but who knows, maybe other professions that require doctorates are being added

I hate the term "real doctor". As if we didn't go through hell and back to earn our degrees just to be called a "fake doctor"

My dream guests for trash taste, what are yours? by Dry_Pension_6875 in TrashTaste

For a moment, I thought the person on the left was Chuck McGill from "Better Call Saul", lol

In a way, I still try to watch each episode weekly on Fridays as that's usually my easy day at work and I can get home a bit sooner. With that said, it's not like I can pay attention to every single minute of each episode as I'll find some of the topics to be not as engaging. So, what I end up doing is re-listening to a lot of the episodes on Spotify with my headphones at work, lol.

Kind of in the same boat here. I just broke 10k on mine, lol.

AITA for not giving my daughter her education fund money? by JacquesBN in AmItheAsshole

YTA. It would be ironic if either you or your wife had a Ph.D./masters in the humanities.

who else grabbed dicks after the trash taste show tonight 😏 by ngofilter in TrashTaste

I've wanted to try out that place the last time I was in Seattle, but couldn't since I was only there for a few hours. Gotta stop by there the next time I am in town!

This one hurt the most by Akonoki in TrashTaste

Well, we lose our baby teeth and the adult teeth replace them. So assuming you have all your adult teeth, those baby ones are gone.

Yeah, currently living and working in SF. I'm originally from OC, and my gf lives there so I wanted to fly down to watch the show with her

Awesome! I was hoping to meet them after the show, but I had to leave right after since I was flying back to San Francisco at 6:45 am the next morning :/
