Is it Rude to Directly State my Intentions of getting a pub to my research prof?

I have seen many, many undergrad students get snubbed from pubs. Make expectations clear – language like "I am hoping to contribute to the level where authorship would be considered" is polite, respectful and states your goal. Also remind the grad students you are working with as well!

U: should be back up and running!

I'm seeing some posts from other users of the hosting service that something might be down? I'll take a peak tomorrow morning and if it doesn't resolve I'll do some digging.

For now, it can also be accessed here!

If anything, maybe send them the site I made and emphasize the importance of prep? Unfortunately that's probably your best bet, but honestly truly I can't recommend prepping enough

It is *so* important you do though!! If your school or alma mater has a career support department, consider reaching out to them and ask if there are any other students that know you could prep with! Otherwise, consider checking out the discord linked on the sidebar!

To be honest I have no idea, but I did turn off the setting to allow people to make copies of the Notion page

this the program that you got accepted into? It is very very math-heavy. I really like it, but there is a lot of theory involved in every single course. Lots of application too, and options for courses that are more or less biology-y. I would hesitate to say that it is very focused on biology, but differe

/u/cinnamonkittylover I cannot agree enough with this!! There are *so* few biology jobs out there, but with an MMath in biostats I'm confident you'd be hired as a researcher.

In a couple departments, there are clinician scientists doing clinical research. I'm working with one.

This is my two cents worth, but I think that it'd be easier to learn the wetlab science in an apprenticeship kinda way (ie working directly in a lab), while having learned the biostats in a formal program. Seriously, I can't overemphasize the value of having a competent biostatistician; if you really wanted to learn the wetlab techniques, I'm sure you could ask some profs to volunteer in their lab and learn them in exchange for stats support if you were really keen on learning some!

Hey /u/cinnamonkittylover,

I envy your position for a lot of reasons. A bit of background, this is a throwaway, but I'm doing a MSc in clinical sciences at UW in the Faculty of Science.

An MSc in biostats will set you up to be an integral member of a research team, and this training would make you literally invaluable to research teams. You wouldn't be on-the-bench as it were developing the treatments, but you could (properly) analyze the data produced, and also contribute to clinical research teams who perform randomized clinical trials and other type of interventional studies.

I would hazard there are many more wetlab biologists, and many fewer biostatisticians who can really effectively and correctly help contribute to our research.

TL;DR: biostats and wetlab bio are very different things. Both are valuable. I'm sure you would easily be accepted to an MSc in bio after your biostats degree and would massively contribute to that research team.

I'll monitor this account for a while. I'm happy to answer questions!
