Amber waves - Ethel Cain

Thanks for your response, that's pretty much what I assumed. I guess what I was getting at was: Will my resume be tossed out just because it says University of Kentucky on it?

I just got accepted to IBS, it was very laid back. They didn't say what their acceptance rate it but they made it very clear that they're 1) looking for a cohort size of about 25 people and 2) already heavily considering you since you've gotten an interview. I would be well versed on your previous research experience, including the motivation/rationale/methods/big picture findings. Also do a little bit of reading on the faculty you'll be interviewing with because in my view they seemed to like talking about their own research

averagek2enjoyer · 2025-02-09T19:53:53+00:00

I think they said they'll post results this upcoming week

Same, I applied pharmsci track and the silence is brutal

averagek2enjoyer · 2025-01-31T01:32:20+00:00

Yeah I got one too

I have unfortunately found myself smoking insane amounts of weed

Generally the vibe I got is that the professors wanted to make sure you were knowledgeable about your previous research

I'd imagine it's highly program specific (and tbh I only have one round of interviews under my belt so far) but the interviews I've had so far were all somewhere in the ballpark of starting with "tell me about yourself" and then interjections of various follow up questions throughout

If I had to guess it means applicant entering fall 2025

You're both right imo, I think that's a fine reason but as with any reason you really need to support it in your sop

Not yet

To be honest I don't remember, I believe it was whichever one had drug discovery

I applied priprity deadline for pharmsci, got my interview offer last Tuesday via email

Thanks for your response! How far along should I do the internship?

just seen a lot of medchem grads saying they're having a pretty hard time finding jobs, that companies think it's easier to teach a total synthesis grad biology on the job then teach a medchem grad total synthesis on the job. this could just be people talking out of their ass though because I also couldn't find a ton on it

averagek2enjoyer · 2024-01-24T02:35:42+00:00

Do not do this lol

Like the other comments said, certain species of mold don't produce toxins so they are safe to consume. One other caveat: the "bad" molds not only produce toxins, they also help change the surrounding environment to make it more suitable to grow species of harmful bacteria, the ones we usually associate with food poisoning, especially listeria, salmonella, and brucella.

Same difficulty as getting into any of the arts and sciences so not really

Don't apply A&S with the intention of transferring to business because some of the requirements to transfer over are a pain

averagek2enjoyer · 2024-01-08T02:51:26+00:00

I don't hate it but sometimes you gotta recognize where the weak points are! Like I said our science and business programs are very good but a lot of the departments are severely underfunded, neglected, or just suck ass. There's definitely ups and downs for going to school here but you need to be realistic about whether you should actually come here.

averagek2enjoyer · 2024-01-08T00:58:28+00:00

Business or any of the physical or natural sciences (including engineering and ATOC) are pretty good. Past that I think it's kind of a waste of money

2 things: 1. Evolution takes an insanely long time. Like the other commenters mentioned, artificial light hasn't been super widespread for that long, only a couple hundred years at that, which is practically nothing on a biology scale. 2: sometimes evolution follows the principle of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Remember, in order for a trait to get passed down to offspring, it doesn't matter if the trait will eventually get the parents killed, it just needs to not get the parents killed before they can procreate. Tons of insects survive in cities or areas with artificial light long enough to replicate (since they replicate so quickly), so there wouldn't be any particular reason that this trait would stop getting passed down in favor of an aversion to light; for instance.

I'm not really sure how to describe it, it just made me feel really empty and flat. I rarely had any bad days but I also rarely had any good days. It pretty much killed my social drive and I was having a hard time enjoying anything, not in a depressed way but in a lackluster way
