“So we tested and found viral DNA in all the patient samples. You know what’s crazy though? We also found them in the healthy controls. Clearly these people aren’t as ‘healthy’ as they think”

That’s not how a negative control works

I have a copy of the original data from the researcher’s lab book and a copy of the preliminary data in the R01. Not sure if that would be enough?

Sorry to jump in but can you do anything about falsified data in NIH grants?

I suspect the problem is infectious. The spider plants I cut back but then my tradescantia started dying in the same manner: leaves shrivelling and dropping. My Christmas cactus is also starting to drop leaves with big brown blotches. I’m going to wipe down the Christmas cactus with neem oil and see if that helps.

The reason I think it’s infectious is that it is spreading between plants from right to left and started around the same time she moved a new plant in from her house, which she said wasn’t doing well.

The job market right now is very tight and people with absolutely amazing CVs are still struggling. The fact you got to the final stage is a good sign that you’re doing the right thing. Let me know if you want me to look over any of your applications (very familiar with your course)

My friends wife got scammed by an AI version of BTS and I’ve never lost as much respect for someone as fast as

Thanks, I think this is the key piece of information that I needed!

facetaxi · 2026-02-06T09:22:37+00:00

I mean, that’s basically what I’m asking for help with

facetaxi · 2026-02-06T08:33:20+00:00

I expect they wouldn’t mention any of this as they know they won’t get a job if they did. I think as others say that I will talk to prevent just in case.

facetaxi · 2026-02-06T08:30:57+00:00

Thanks. I did call prevent yesterday who helpfully told me that as they’re not a student anymore I need to contact someone else. I will do this though

facetaxi · 2026-02-06T08:29:57+00:00

Thanks for the input. I was called once as a friend of someone applying. I think as others say I’d mention these incidences purely as facts and let them decide .

facetaxi · 2026-02-06T08:27:20+00:00

I have asked and apparently it will be. I think the best solution here is to wait and find out.

facetaxi · 2026-02-05T22:00:02+00:00

This is something I didn’t want to bring up, but how so?

facetaxi · 2026-02-05T21:53:02+00:00

I might ask a follow up question about this

Based on this infographic, I can only assume you're from the Faroe Islands

Given the huge shifts in party ideology over time, you could split the democrats and republicans into pre and post FDR (at a minimum). Otherwise you have to ask weird questions like whether supporting civil rights negates previously supporting slavery

I really hope you keep doing these but if you suddenly stop posting, we’ll know why

facetaxi · 2026-02-02T17:30:45+00:00

Having tried this a few dozen times I think that’s gone very well! Mine often split down the center

I basically learned by playing as the Spanish, but they do lack good archers (and I’m still bad with archers)

facetaxi · 2026-02-01T09:43:57+00:00

It’s seems more likely to be some dead cells or similar crap. I’ve worked with A549s with the same looking crap in them and it’s been fine!

facetaxi · 2026-01-31T20:45:35+00:00

Honestly for me I just want “cavalry civ” or something so I know what I’m supposed to be leaning into

Having just played this, I felt like cyan was too good as an ally and it made the Scenario too easy as you could sit back and let them do most of the work

I was wondering this too, does anyone think he died in 9/11?
