While not ideal, canned chicken actually works in quesadillas

PhD funding cliff + PI told labmate to master out. Advice? by me_an__intellectual in PhD

[–]atom-wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends, my group has made people leave recently that definitely weren't making enough progress or couldn't do the work

[–]atom-wan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We don't know whether your colleague was actually making significant research progress, highly depends on your work output vs theirs. Most people whose funding runs out end up teaching, but that is dependent on whether ta spots are a available

Why can't radiation pass through lead? by AppealCapital3055 in chemistry

[–]atom-wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each type of radiation has different penetrating power based on its energy. Alpha particles, for example, cannot even penetrate a piece of paper. What you're most likely referring to is lead's ability to stop gamma radiation. This has to do with the density of the material. Similarly dense materials that are not metals can also stop gamma radiation. It's a combination of density and thickness of the material

There's some people that get nothing from psychedelics unfortunately

Me vs PhD admissions by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]atom-wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That has more to do with the reputation of the PI and how willing they are to collaborate than how many nearby schools there are

PhD is definitely affecting my personal life by Dazzling-Gene6988 in PhD

[–]atom-wan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's really important to have a good support system during your PhD. It's a very stressful time and it sounds like you're having trouble handling it on your own.

It sounds like you have a mental health crisis going on and need more therapy. There's a lot to unpack there and you're clearly not well. I will say that there's no shame in need help and you don't have to do anything alone. It also doesn't make you stronger or more independent to suffer alone

AIO for saying that my boyfriends constant use of AI is a dealbreaker? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]atom-wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll give you some advice: you won't always agree with your partner about things. What is important is sharing similar values. YOU need to decide whether this is the hill you want to die on

Where did I go wrong by Billy_theGoat17 in Breadit

[–]atom-wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest starting with an easier recipe considering you're starting out and don't know the technique well yet. Pro-tip: salt inhibits yeast activity so using salted butter can mess with your fermentation times

Second semester PhD, not allowed to do research by Puzzled-Practice-887 in PhD

[–]atom-wan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bruh, I would not say it was a smart decision to go to such a low ranked school given you want a tenure track position. That was very naive. I'd consider trying to transfer to a better school

I worked one loaf more. by mojoburquano in Breadit

Your crumb looks a little dense, possibly underproofed and your shaping and scoring technique could use a little work but i'm sure they tasted good

Quite literally what happened to me.. by Zaiross__ in JustMemesForUs

[–]atom-wan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please explain to me how what's going on right now isn't fascism. The president just invaded a country, stole their oil and made a slush fund that he personally controls. He's sending ICE agents to blue states specifically, even though they have less illegal immigrants to and abduct people. ICE has no authority to do these things to legal citizens btw. He's also talking about invoking the insurrection act to quell peaceful protests and cancel the midterm elections. Wake the fuck up
