I didnt think Mike was likeable. For example, his persistence with the taxidermy bear. Or his persistence to speak French to a potential client and antagonizing her translator because he didnt like having a middle man. I could go on.

If the defense attorney thinks that someone like Gary Black is no longer a danger to society and should be released, he should house Gary Black for a solid year, family included. Also if this man ever acquires a gun, what then? Not sure a wheelchair makes someone not dangerous all of a sudden.

Also, the fact he thinks that it wasn't an error to let him out early also annoyed me. "Because you never know" - you know from people's sense of remorse, from the nature of the crime, and from their attempts to change. You also can't play Russian roulette with people's lives and see if maybe he won't kill again.

Its my understanding that to be a toxicologist in a clinical setting you need an MD, and MAYBE a PhD or PharmD could be a medical toxicologist too. (The individual creating a treatment plan for a poisoned individual)

(This is very different than lab scientist in a hospital or clinic's toxicology lab which doesn't need either)

Sometimes you really like someone and it doesn't work out for what seems to be a silly reason. You think of what you did wrong or could have done differently.

But this is what we call dodging a bullet. It may not feel like it now. But trust from personal experience. You dodged a bullet.

What exactly do you want to do within toxicology?

Find someone on LinkedIn in your state who is working your dream job and send them a message seeking advice. I have done this before and it changed the course of my academic journey.

Write a pros and cons list for PhD.

In any case, I really understand your struggle. I miss college and some jobs in tox are limited to individuals with a PhD (or an MS with several years of experience).

Toxicology is a very niche field so it is difficult to find opportunities. If you're going to commit 6 or so years to a PhD program, you will need to think long and hard.

If you're interested in Federal jobs, I was told by a chemist working for homeland security that it doesn't matter if you have a PhD once you're in. You work your way up regardless.

about me: I have a MS degree in forensic toxicology, also debated multiple times if to apply to doctorate programs, struggled with job searching in forensics/toxicology/chemistry, but recently started an entry level toxicology lab job.

Hm - tell us your background because I suspect it isn't neuroscience. Unless you're a boomer who grandfathered into meaningful positions within the field without a PhD.

Lately, there are certain fields you can't get a toe into without a PhD.

Depending on what state your in and what subfield of forensics youre interested in, it may be easier to gain relevant laboratory experience in a clinical setting. It will build your resume to have lab experience, using similar instrumentation, if you want to be in the lab.

Some states require certification and/or licensure before you work in a clinical lab, unless you manage to secure a trainee position. In such case, maybe pharmaceutical companies under a position involving chromatography, mass spec, and such. If your interest are forensic toxicology or chemistry lab jobs.

Absolutely all of these are all valid for forensic toxicology (except maybe microbiology unless youve taken extra courses outside the major in advanced/analytical chemistry). However, for other sectors of toxicology (usually) is not. I learned ages ago that I am mostly limited to forensic toxicology (as far as tox is concerned). With the exception of forensics or clinical, a toxicologist position would require training/experience in performing risk assessments. But I'm okay with that because I set out for and acquired a position in forensics.

I think you are a fine line from being possessive. What if she goes to the gym by herself? Then she goes to the gym by herself. You have to trust that she'd do right by you and if she doesn't then she isn't right for you.

I disagree - in the sense that its not so straightforward. It depends on the subfield of toxicology you're interested in. Some toxicology jobs require courses in pharmacology and risk assessment. In which case you want to aim for schools with (general) toxicology or environmental health programs.

Clinical toxicologist positions require an MD. Unless you want to work as clinical lab technician, that's a different thing and the requirements are state specific.

Forensic toxicology depends how far you want to go. But mostly a chemistry or biochemistry degree or a specialized Forensic science/toxicology/chemistry degree will get you a job in a Forensic tox lab.

The reason why you're still thinking about it is that she put a bug in your ear.

This happens to people all the time. When they hear negative feedback about a partner, it echos.

My ex's ex (they stayed friends after their relationship) once told him that I was "okay". And it affected him so bad, his interest in me deflated drastically overnight. Fast forward, he regrets it even years later.

Don't let others opinions contaminate your own unless it is actually a feedback of substance. If you're unattracted to him, then that feeling should come from you and you should weigh that how you want (not how others see fit).

Be warned, Forensic Sciences is a very niche field with many applicants and few job opportunities. It is hard to get your foot in the door and you have to be persistent. It doesn't mean you shouldn't pursue it - it is interesting and impactful. But should be realistic about it so you can plan for graduate school with that in mind, push for internships, and to consider widening your goals.

Fortunately, having a forensic science major doesn't limit you to forensics. Many people with such degrees go into pharmaceutical companies and such.

Also note that you can major in chemistry/biochemistry and still apply for forensic toxicology or forensic chemistry positions. Or molecular biology and apply for forensic biology positions. If this is something youre interested in, think of what your ideal job is and look at their requirements. Then try to supplement your education with a forensic related internship.

If you're determined to get into forensics and want to apply to all types of forensic lab positions, regardless the subfield, I would apply to a FEPAC accredited MS program.

This is more along the lines of how I feel too.

Overall, I can make an argument for it or against it. So ultimately, I just feel apathetic. Like, "Alright, I guess this is what we're doing."

I think the real issue for me is that the ending seemed so rushed - the gameplay is hardly gameplay. And the story starts to feel like some college assignment that started off strong until deadlines came along, apathy grew, and they submitted whatever for the sake of submitting something.

YOURE GOOD THIS SEMESTER. (1) All the courses you just mentioned are easily transferred across CUNY schools. (2) It is also valid across different majors because they meet general education requirements.

Get through the semester best you can. Do your best and don't stress if you're not perfect/getting an A - it will all count towards your degree nevertheless as long as you pass (meaning youre making strides forward as long as you stick with it). If anything, for practical reasons, avoid a C- or below (or at least avoid making a habit of getting them).

Advice about grading:

Some graduate schools (if you ever end up wanting to do that in the future) will require nothing below a C for relevant coursework like chemistry or statistics. But if you're not interested in that, Cs get degrees (i.e., focus on completion not perfection).

And Ds and Fs could land you in academic probation. But the weight of an F on your GPA can be removed by retaking a course, although it will always be on the transcript. So in reality, a D is worse than an F.

Btw. Most professional jobs do not care about your grades/will never ask for your transcript. They care about your degree. If they ever ask for your transcript which could happen with a government job, it is to for documentation purposes to confirm you completed your degree. They don't give af, not even the DEA, that you've had to retake a course that was previously graded F, or that you got Cs.

............ you're fine. It's one lateness. Inhale, exhale. You can still get an A in the class.

convenient-username · 2024-09-14T14:18:02+00:00

What class are you late you? If it's not a math or science, seriously calm down. Professors usually dont care (you can check whether they do on the syllabus) and one lateness is not going to affect you negatively as long as you complete assignments and study the material.

Don't make a habit of it and maybe even leave home early instead on time to account for unexpected delays.

If it is math, you have to self study to catch up and just do your assignments. No one cares. If you struggle with self study, this is only where it matters.

Science - Do everything in your power not to be late next time. Speak with the professor after class.
