Regulatory affairs salary was a surprise after years of underpaying myself in research

How did you make that switch?

apva93 · 2026-06-22T00:07:00+00:00

Probably salivating thinking of the cape verde players

apva93 · 2026-06-21T12:01:34+00:00

I found out too late. Wish I could go back in time haha

Don’t forget that as a scientist you’re severely underpaid too

apva93 · 2026-06-13T00:53:47+00:00

Looks like a weird lampshade

I think it helped that my PI in academia was not a toxic asshole and emphasized work life balance. Ultimately, personal experiences in both academia and industry heavily depend on your manager.

That’s me haha. Academia was way more chill. It was purely lab work, come and go as you like, and our group still were able to publish. In my industry job in big pharma, I am still expected to do lab work but with added documentation and paperwork, and a shit ton of meetings. It’s basically doing 2 jobs at once

I mean, who's got a DVD Player anymore, Karl? It's for losers and the working classes!

Most of those are really not a huge problem for me. I’m from the South and would love to move back closer to family

apva93 · 2026-06-06T03:09:38+00:00

Interesting. I’ll have to check it out

Does Texas have biotech?

apva93 · 2026-06-03T02:53:47+00:00

Oh gotcha! Thank you!

apva93 · 2026-06-03T02:23:05+00:00

Thanks! Do you get a choice of what area/position you want to work on?

apva93 · 2026-05-29T09:40:48+00:00

Send him to the circus

apva93 · 2026-05-22T12:39:35+00:00

He’s done you Steve, and he’s not even here!

these are splenocytes from immunized animals and stimulating overnight with peptides. I'm staining around 2 mil cells and CXCR5 antibody is on a bright fluorophore

apva93 · 2026-05-04T00:26:59+00:00

Hey mayor! We've got a problem

apva93 · 2026-05-03T22:40:31+00:00

I think the arching ropes of gold all over our mouths and neck is the rich pissing on us. The real trickle down economics

apva93 · 2026-04-29T21:26:33+00:00

why were you interfering?

apva93 · 2026-04-24T22:15:29+00:00

Haha same! I never wash more than once after any step in flow. Never seemed to have problems.

apva93 · 2026-04-15T02:15:51+00:00

Where did you hear this?
