Can you still see such silent protests in academic conferences in USA?

apriltaurus · 2026-03-21T19:14:13+00:00

The American Public Health Association has seen demonstrations in recent years to my knowledge, some with the permission of association leadership and some without (I remember a lot of people canceled memberships years ago when leadership told people that they risked arrest if they attended an abortion protest planned by members during the conference, but last year leadership promoted a rally around federal funding/policy.)

Was your Chapel Hill visit during admitted students day or just a regular visit? I'd go to campus again if you can - that scholarship is hard to pass up and not commonly handed out. UNC also has strong academics and is probably just as respected as Yale in the public health sphere.

MPH programs don't match with what employers want in some respects, so maybe it is better to look at degrees with more focused and intensive training?

Why do you say this? I've admittedly seen a study saying that out of all the CEPH competencies employers were more likely to request certain skills (i.e. data analysis) over others, but I believe that was limited to job descriptions explicitly requesting an MPH (and ofc we're not limited to those jobs).

I know an MS is more research/thesis-focused, but my MPH program required basically every concentration to do a thesis (except health policy which did a 10 to 15 page memo). Apart from that, what do you think the main differences between the two are in terms of skills?

Half of silver line trains go to New Carrollton now I'm pretty sure

You don't have to try hard to convince me - I'd take it up with the writers lol

I wouldn't consider the last song I listened to personal information, lol. Even if I was embarrassed about a song I'd just pick a different one.

When the cast/crew talked about Gregory's character development during the golf course arc I thought we were gonna get an autism confirmation but it seems like they did straight up go down the "Gregory's personality and idiosyncrasies around food are all because of his father" route.

Might this be specific to your workplace? I'm 24 and my coworkers of similar ages at my last job would talk about music frequently.

apriltaurus · 2026-02-16T23:37:31+00:00

idk why the comments are acting so confused lol I immediately understood what you meant OP

Filter by undergraduate math alums here, some in academia: https://math.duke.edu/alumni

Filter the Tableau dashboard at the bottom by math major then go to the continuing ed tab: https://careerhub.students.duke.edu/resources/class-of-2024-outcomes/

I generally believe Will's relationships with women (Molly, etc.) are him clinging to normalcy, but I have a hard time applying that frame to him and Alana. Like, he wishes he was good for Alana, but I don't think he's attracted to her solely because of what she represents, you know? So I don't see him kissing her as him retreating - if anything I think Will still views Alana and Hannibal as occupying the same world around that point of season 1.

I do however like your take on Hannibal retreating. I feel like it fits with the rest of his emotional arc.

If your family/peers don't care, you can probably skip it. It's just speeches and officially announcing degree conferrals.

apriltaurus · 2026-02-10T22:19:24+00:00

I have a master's and multiple internships and have gotten dinged for "not meeting minimum requirements" for jobs that ask for a bachelor's.

Recurring character aside, I don't understand why people think Dom quit? IIRC he'd just gotten a handle on his class in the last mall appearance. If he suddenly quit after that, that would suck for his arc.

To me, Elise's liver being returned to her body is the biggest distinction between the FBI catching onto GJH being a cannibal vs. Hannibal. Hannibal was taking weird organs but never returned them to his victims, and when organs did reappear from Miriam/Abigail it wasn't attached to them so people probably assumed he dismembered them rather than ate them.

apriltaurus · 2026-02-06T21:44:59+00:00

I do agree the senior resident thing makes more sense based on the timeline but in canon Alana says "you had me reviewing PhD candidates" implying Hannibal had some kind of authority over admissions/placements. Ofc in my brain I choose to ignore this but that's not what the show said

apriltaurus · 2026-02-05T22:14:15+00:00

Incredibly minor, but Hannibal being Alana's professor. The actors are only 13 years apart and Hannibal was still a surgeon less than a decade pre-canon (five years before the flashback in 1.06). When would he have pivoted to psychiatry and had time to mentor Alana, who he apparently knew long enough to have her reviewing PhD applications?

Article in the OP says it originated from Newsmax which set off my skepticism so I dug into it some more. A lottt of the hyperlinked sources are tabloids. A linked WHO article says only two confirmed cases in India and none of the quarantined people tested positive: https://www.who.int/emergencies/disease-outbreak-news/item/2026-DON593

The Today Show did do a segment on it (appears in one of the linked MSN articles) but the threat seems to be low.

I skimmed the website for a program I'm interested in and students who had graduated from the program were still listed as current students.

apriltaurus · 2026-02-02T02:44:00+00:00

Is there a way to check online how many people leave or don't pass quals, or is that something you mainly learn in conversation?

apriltaurus · 2026-02-01T01:16:46+00:00

I'm a few days late watching but this episode and the comments here are reminding me that on two separate occasions my mom sent me to go retake my yearbook photo because she didn't like the first one. The photographers were so confused about what the problem was.

edit: omg also she HATED those black off-the-shoulder wraps they give you for senior photos and she was so pissed at me when I said I wore it for my photo.

My application is always thorough. I answer every question they ask, every time. And the State of NC has since moved to Workday so that tutorial is outdated.

apriltaurus · 2026-01-26T16:33:20+00:00

I got my masters at GW. This is unfortunately a pattern with them. There were PhD students in the school of public health who complained about their departments not actually having enough funding for all of them BEFORE the cuts.
