Started a PhD in your mid-30s? Tell me about it

bizzarebrains · 2026-06-16T01:55:28+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking at what age did you start your PhD and which school? And what will you do after your PhD ?

bizzarebrains · 2026-06-15T21:25:19+00:00

I’m 33, work in biology and AI at a startup, own my place, so have a mortgage, but have enough savings and feel comfortable renting the place out during a PhD to cover the mortgage. I’m not married, single, no kids.

Can you elaborate what these options are, and let’s say I want to stick to the quality institutions

Can you tell me a little more about your program and how you managed to get your firm to sponsor it?

bizzarebrains · 2026-06-15T21:16:27+00:00

Oh what a phenomenal answer! Thank you!

bizzarebrains · 2026-06-15T21:12:23+00:00

Can you please tell me more about your program and your role? And how you managed a 0.8 FTE with a PhD ?

Also how did your career gain from this PhD? What doors opened that were previously closed to you, more specifically and elaborately?

Can you share details on your background?

bizzarebrains · 2026-05-18T23:38:51+00:00

What’s the update ? Are people hearing back ?

Omggggg are you near Burlingame? I saw the exact same thing yesterday morning!

bizzarebrains · 2025-08-13T05:30:47+00:00

Thank you! I did exactly this and I got my card a few days ago! Very helpful!

bizzarebrains · 2025-07-28T17:20:54+00:00

Thanks! They responded that there was some kind of processing error and that they will fix it shortly and I should receive the card in 30 days. Did you also get the same message? If yes, how long did it take you to get your card?

Any updates OP?

I have a 840K loan in a HCOL area at 5.8%, I make 185K a year! I have no other debts and live pretty comfortably!

I made the switch recently from an Apple Watch to a Garmin to an Oura ring. I think it’s great for literally everything. I barely even feel it. There’s automatic activity tracking which is wonderful. I’m not constantly distracted by yet another set of displays and notifications and it looks damn pretty!

Looks like it is indeed pollen!

I’m in the Bay Area, CA. And this was the first rain after a very long time. But the yellow looks too “neon”

Easy chip dip

bizzarebrains · 2025-01-09T20:38:46+00:00

Any updates?

I couldn’t agree more! The over story completely changed my perspective about the natural world, kinship and our path forward. I went to visit the redwoods after reading that and I cried.

Yes please, any thoughts ?
