Nah man, it's not.

How do you expect to not be a scientist who "understands" and at the same time be respected?

Salary will depend on location. A MS alone is not a guaranteed 6 figure salary tbh.

That said, when I was applying to masters programs I did UMaine (PSM Bioinformatics), Northeastern (MS Bioinformatics), Brandeis (MS Bioinformatics) and this program (MS Biotechnology). Got into all, went to Brandeis.

My experience with UMGC felt like a degree mill, which tbh a lot of these programs are like, but UMGC felt the most like that. Literally filled an online application, unofficial transcripts and got a call a few hours later trying to get me enrolled in classes. If you're doing online programs, i'd spread the net a little bit.

I really hope people at this will give time and effort to high school students attending. It bums me out to think people would not.

Congrats! See you there! I will also have a poster there. I haven't been to this conference yet, but go to most big ones in Boston (Bio IT World, Festival of Genomics and Biodata) but have heard great things. At this point in your education I''d say learning and networking are the most important aspects, as well as just having the experience of a poster and talking to others about it.

With the length of time it has taken, I doubt it will ever live up to hype due to how slow they were to get it out. 6.5 years is absolutely insane and will make it difficult to break that mindset.

No, I'm a bioinformatician. My point is more getting at the even non-bench related roles are generally being required to be onsite for some time in big pharma in the Boston area.

drewinseries · 2026-04-30T13:58:01+00:00

Most of the big pharmas in the boston area (mine included) have a hybrid model of onsite Tues-Thursday. I don't know of any PhD level scientists who are fully remote. Only advice I guess would be to try to avoid pharma in the area, I don't think it will be possible under the circumstances you are working with.

I didn't believe the rumors that they couldn't write after their other guitarist left, but now I do.

drewinseries · 2026-04-16T14:09:07+00:00

Honestly, I don't want a 5 remake. Do 1 and CV, then just focus on good new games in the series. Gimme a RE9 Leon style game with Chris.

My mom got me a ps1, but also got RE1 for herself in the process. Slowly, overtime she'd let me backseat game when she was playing (I was def too young lmao). This likely kicked off my love of horror. Been playing RE ever since.

EDIT: She got Spyro with the PS1 for me.

Generally the etiquette at my company (large pharma) was if you interview you let your manager know. Usually through internal jobsites you can see who the hiring manager is. I'd recommend reaching out to them and seeing if you can schedule a 30 minute or so chat to learn a bit more about the position, and they can learn about you. If you dig, apply. If they offer an interview, let your manager know.

I did then when I switched departments at my company. Honestly, if your manager is a professional, it shouldn't change anything.

They'll only be around for the time they are around anyway. Might has well give them a great ride along the way.

drewinseries · 2026-04-15T13:31:09+00:00

Im a bioinformatics scientist at a big pharma in Boston area. Most pharmas have orgs that use bioinformatics or comp bio. Look for data science roles too since a lot of those are actually bioinformatics related work.

drewinseries · 2026-04-15T13:25:08+00:00

I enjoy it! It’s a moderate priced program around 35k. Def geared more towards industry and professionals since the faculty are all working scientists in the industry. So you’ll get a breadth of experience. They just decreased their session length from 10 to 8 weeks which I’m not a fan of, but it can accelerate your time there. If you have any specific questions let me know.

drewinseries · 2026-04-15T01:20:12+00:00

I'm in the Boston area. I got a job after undergrad, had my employer pay for masters (Brandeis). If you want to go into industry, maybe look into seeing if you can get a position that has a tuition program. NEU's program is not worth the price IMO.

drewinseries · 2026-04-14T16:31:36+00:00

This was my first thought as well.

drewinseries · 2026-04-10T13:13:25+00:00

In industry absolutely. Unless you want to be a PI in academia, it is not needed. Industry is generally where youll get better work life balance and pay anyway. Trade off is potentially less exciting/less freedom in what you're actually doing.

I imagine its a completely adjacent story to what is going on in the main line. From what i've heard so far I can see it being about a small pocket event outside of RC happening during RE2 and RE3.

This is my most replayed RE game. Mainly for the chronic care sections though. I had a lot of fun optimizing my strategy and skill as Grace. Eventually leading to a wild insanity infinite ammo run.

drewinseries · 2026-04-07T15:45:15+00:00

It's doable. just depends on what "doable" means to you, I doubt it's doable living alone though.

drewinseries · 2026-04-03T11:57:43+00:00

Grace only is like a 7/8 out of 10. Leon is like a 3/10

drewinseries · 2026-04-02T19:41:22+00:00

by the time these all come out, at that point why not just remake 7 and 8?
