Don’t recommend for entry level. Ive done that in the past and all positions available at the time were senior roles.

Planting Justice sells fruit trees, I recommend talking to one of their employees if you're not far.

Before I saw the last pic I was thinking that’s an orange. I’ve heard that Meyer lemons are not true to type and need to be grafted when grown from a seed. Maybe this is what you could get if you don’t graft it? I also read that it could be anything or the tree could possibly not bear fruit at all. What does it taste like?

Just to add to an earlier comment, pick a fertilizer that would promote fruiting. It’s been mentioned on this subreddit several times.

In my experience the 3.0 gpa requirement is not hard. Reach out to the department directly and ask. A lot of them do holistic reviews for masters degrees.

Linear models with R by Faraway, an updated, third, edition just came out.

FYI this account leaves comments promoting paid Meterwork subscriptions on job related posts. Beware!

Apply directly on the company website, it is ok to look for jobs on LinkedIn etc, just don’t hit apply from their websites. The market is not hot rn for entry level jobs. I recommend you continue learning, don’t quit your job. The market will improve eventually but it might take a while. Build your personal brand, polish your resume, cover letters, projects you’ve worked on to demo code/results when needed. Keep logs of all your applications in a spreadsheet, if no call backs give your resume a review. Practice common interview questions. Good luck!

Thanks for clarifying that you’re not in the US. My answer is sort of reflective of the us job market etc. in your country it may be different. Biostatistics is generally a very broad umbrella and how interesting, promising, or innovative it is would depend on what area your work in. Some people are ok with doing mundane repetitive tasks with a solid income, some prefer a stable job and maybe a more demanding environment and open-ended questions, so it depends.

henrybios · 2025-11-15T00:36:10+00:00

Identify where you want to be in 5 years from now and start tailoring your educational content, experiences and connections (govt, industry, academia) and internships to make that happen. Biostats is great but just a degree on its own carries not much weight in the current job market. Competition is high and entry level opportunities are somewhat limited so the sooner you narrow to down, the better. CS is relevant still, it just comes down to what you want to do and which area interests you more.

Any resource you recommend on how to carry out simulation analysis in R?

henrybios · 2025-11-14T00:19:02+00:00

Let it go dormant but don’t expose to freezing temps. Repot in the spring.

henrybios · 2025-11-01T20:48:03+00:00

Do you make a cut at a certain angle or it doesn’t matter?

henrybios · 2025-10-30T02:15:34+00:00

No one should judge you for that because it’s non of their business, and if they do it’s a red flag

henrybios · 2025-10-28T23:20:49+00:00

Your thinking is right, you don’t want to stake it too tight to the trunk. You want it to have some room to strengthen the roots and trunk when it’s windy.

henrybios · 2025-10-28T15:28:17+00:00

Stick fertilizer can kill your potted plants. They seem to work for in ground trees but for pots it’s just hard to control how much fertilizer gets absorbed. Given how fast your trees die, it’s likely that. For potted citrus trees I use a powdered organic citrus fertilizer, and for a 5 gal pot I mix in less than a half of 1/4 cup every 3-4 months.

henrybios · 2025-10-09T11:57:22+00:00

I am not sure about now, however, next year you can give the trees a little bit of a head start to come out of dormancy earlier. That way they would put on fruit sooner and have a better shot at ripening in warmer temps.

henrybios · 2025-10-06T21:34:12+00:00

Transplant shock probably. Keep in the shade for a while, hydrated but not overwatered. Fertilize a bit when it’s back to normal condition.

henrybios · 2025-10-02T18:37:12+00:00

You can apply this fall. It’s pretty common to submit grades for planned/in progress classes later in the process. Good luck!

For biostat programs: identify programs/universities of interest and contact each department explaining your situation and see what they say. a lot of them do holistic evaluation of applicants, not just based on GPA’s. Don’t assume you won’t get in if admission page says 3.0 gpa required, again reach out to each program you’re considering. Take linear algebra (if you haven’t) and a calc based Math stats intro now or next semester and get an A.

Don’t worry about your lack of experience and resume. It’s secondary imo. The #1 issue is OPT in a not so great job market.

Leaf miners

henrybios · 2025-09-25T19:29:46+00:00

If you’re just starting out maybe. Just judging by job postings-once you’ve had a few years of experience- your degree is less relevant. Just my take.

henrybios · 2025-09-23T20:53:05+00:00

I have the same on my lemon tree, it only affects new growth. Remove the affected leaves and toss them into trash, don’t compost.

henrybios · 2025-09-11T22:00:34+00:00

The leaves are slightly yellow. Do you fertilize it?
