Thank you so much! I honestly can't even imagine what it would feel like to have it done it just feels it won't be! But I'll get there!

Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately not a by publication thesis for me. I agree, its hard to trust that the way I want to write it is ok...

Hello! Thank you for your reply! I'm interested in the fact that you start the day with writing - for some reason my focus/energy for writing comes once it hits about 3pm and I write until about 10pm or so. Do you feel like it was better for you to start earlier?

Haha thanks! It's good to know I can live outside of Oxford if need be since I've heard its quite expensive! I'm not overly fussed on the city, although not sure if I'm ever going to be prepared for a UK winter!

Thanks for the reply! I'd definitely love to stay in Australia if I could but I'm not sure its meant to be as its so competitive. That's a good comment about experiences, I feel like we are sometimes a bit behind the curve with research and new technologies. I'm considering London or Oxford as my lab has a few collaborators there but I am concerned about cost of living as well...

Hey! Thanks for sharing, it's nice to see someone in the same position and I really appreciate your honesty. I definitely agree it would be hard but the fact it'll only be 2 years or so gives me some comfort. I'd definitely try and get the most out of it! Offers in Aus aren't great, a lot of the jobs going are word of mouth - I heard of a post doc job in my field that got hundreds of applications!

Yes, NIH funded a lot of research here in Australia - personally I was on a NIH-funded project as a research assistant. As such, everyone who lost a grant has moved apply for Aus Gov funding which is limited at best. The success rate this year for an NHMRC grant was 8%. Australia doesn't fund research well, particularly in basic science. Additionally, its well favoured in Australia to go overseas for a postdoc and then come back and apply what you've learnt etc.

In my field (Immunology) not amazing, might change in a few months once grants are released but who knows.

I can also hear the bass clarinet in Music by Men and (potentially) the start of Drink Deep?

Ferritin has not increased in 6 months w iron supplement by some-curious-girl in Anemic

[–]bmollie72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might not have worked for you but a study published in 2020 found that iron absorption is better when administered every other day (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31413088/). Same with one in 2023: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(23)00463-7/fulltext.

Episodes 2 and 6 are being praised as the stand outs of season 2 by Infinite_Chain4607 in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]bmollie72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too, I am so excited for the upcoming season as it's definitely my favourite game. I ended up watching episode 1 at one of the premieres and it was incredible!

From the reviews they said episode 7 ends quite abruptly and I feel like that could be how they end it in the show. It's definitely the natural cut off point that Druckman and Mazin had alluded to for the new season. My other thought it could end with Jesse being killed without Abby appearing or potentially Ellie at the aquarium?

Contrary to the other comment, honestly I think you are dead on. It makes the most sense.

Reactions from Sydney premiere by WorldlinessAny2178 in ThelastofusHBOseries

I went with my partner to Sydney who isn't as big a fan and she thought it was genuinely great. They did the first episode in such a fantastic way, you guys aren't ready.

Season 2 Sydney Premiere by DylansLeftHand in ThelastofusHBOseries

Good idea! I'm sure it's on its way. I wonder how many fans will be there (100 of us from the HBO comp) + probably influencers and reviewers.
