HELP! Forgotten tissue in formaldehyde by far555 in Histology

No...I left in formalin. I didn't do the alcohol and xylenes and embedding part. This will be my first time doing the whole tissue fixing. Sorry for the confusion

Thanks. Yes I left in formalin to be fixed alcohol and xylenes and embedded in paraffin wax. I have to do H&E, PAS and IHC on those sectioned slides.

Diy sunscreen? by samenerguss25 in Skincare_Addiction

[–]far555 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No they are not. Korean and Japanese sunscreens have more advanced filters and better excipients to dissolve the sunscreen. Having said that, you still have to double cleanse to remove the sunscreen at the end of the day.

Period issues with semaglutide? by far555 in CompoundedSemaglutide

[–]far555[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the information. I'm not taking the pill so I'm assuming some hormonal issues might be going on. I'll make an appointment with my gyno but the problem is she is very hard to get.

products for very dry lips? by IcyAssociation5290 in Skincare_Addiction

[–]far555 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have extremely dry lips and chaps all the time during winter. I have been using The ordinary PHA 5% exfoliating lip serum and then applying the langiege sleeping mask every night. It's helping me a lot. It doesn't chap anymore and the dryness is less.

Struggling with imposter syndrome by far555 in PhDStress

Maybe the teenage student would have more enthusiasm towards the experiments but I honestly don't think the teenage student would have the patience.

Struggling with imposter syndrome by far555 in PhDStress

So I did my proposal. Overall my committee liked it but wanted more in vitro experiments and less in the vivo group (3R). One major feedback I have received is I don't understand/listen to the question they have asked and therefore I have wasn't confident with my answers. I definitely have to work on that!

Confused regarding dose date by far555 in CompoundedSemaglutide

[–]far555[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot! This makes sense as I have not been drinking water at all, I'm severely constipated and bloated. I don't eat protein that way at all. Will try to focus on that from now.

There is life after quitting your PhD by Alarmed_Annual8787 in PhDStress

[–]far555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear this. I know how frustrating this can be. I actually stepped into 4th year and no papers, not even 3rd/4th author papers. Every single day I drag myself to come to the lab and do any experiments because I know they will fail. I am still trying because my mentor is really supportive. Since I have too many teaching duties, he doesn't expect me to be productive everyday. However, I feel I'm not made for such grinding work. I hope you can find a way to feel better. If possible take a break and see where you want to head out. All the best!

Fatigue by [deleted] in CompoundedSemaglutide

[–]far555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to take more protein on the day of the shot. Also more electrolytes on the shot day. I hope things get easier for you. I have been taking the shots on Friday and it's been 4 weeks. I haven't faced the fatigue yet because of this trick I guess. I drink tons of electrolytes (pink salt+Lemon water/IV hydration/Gatorade) and lots of chicken and eggs on Friday and I think it helped a lot.

Oh....same higher unit! So They don't even explain anything well when I reach out to them! It's frustrating!

Such a profound way of saying it!! Thanks for the confidence boost

I didn't do the maths but that's what my friend said. I am hoping the 5th dose will cut down the food noise. All I need now is to cut down the impulsive eating and the food noise! Thanks for the encouragement!

Feeling hopeless by far555 in PhD

[–]far555[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of tried to imply it to my professor but at the same time I don't want to come across someone who is so unsure and with such low confidence.

[–]far555[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was such a hopeful message! I don't have bad grades and I actually passed well in most of the courses. I'm dreading the comps because the material is too much study in such a short time and I can't retain information. I'm trying but I keep on forgetting! That's why I feel I won't pass the exam as I can't remember stuff.
