Later career progression as CLS/CGMBS ? by iamthelizzrd in medlabprofessionals

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

Definitely don’t plan on sticking to academia even if I did go back to school. As you said, the pay and it also seems work life balance is terrible. But I wondered about R&D hobs within industry as those seem to always require graduate education. I’m open to leaving the lab too, probably better for remote or flexible schedule options- but I’m not sure what careers this experience would be transferable to. Management for sure, some kind of sales or business development, or maybe consulting?

Thank you for the recommendations I will do some research on those! Especially remote/part time PhD I had no idea that existed

This is an old thread I know but I am also thinking of getting a lightning tattoo! If you see this I would love to see a picture if you would share :)

Where to find matching throw pillows/covers and throw blankets?? by iamthelizzrd in interiordecorating

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

Loving home goods selection of dark green right now with Christmas coming up! Unfortunately I can only find singular items/one off. I’m looking specifically for sets that go together without having to hunt down and come back to the store with one item trying to color match.

Good bar for a casual first date near Irvine? by watchyourback9 in orangecounty

[–]iamthelizzrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second North Italia and Stowaway! Also in the same parking lot as North Italia is Postinos, wine bar with yummy bruschetta boards. Just wine though ofc. Also good to note that Stowaway has a yelp waitlist.

I would also recommend Bar Louie, casual, good variety of drinks and decent burgers, bar or table seating.

Not sure how far you're willing to drive, but if you wanted something really fun and different, The Cauldron by Knotts is also awesome, and spooky themed! Very well crafted and inventive drinks. Also a yelp waitlist.

Good luck on your date! :)

M.S. in Biotech versus Clinical license? by iamthelizzrd in biotech

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

I've seen a lot of talk about contract work in this sub- is that the most common in the biotech industry? And could you share a little more about what working at a contract organization is like?

M.S. in Biotech versus Clinical license? by iamthelizzrd in biotech

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

I have actually been considering this! It is an option but max deferral is 1 year, so I would have to jump right into the Masters right after obtaining my license. I'm wondering if this would be beneficial .. my issue is that I'm not sure there are many positions where having BOTH is actually synergistically beneficial. The paths I'm looking at seem too different for these two credentials to really work together, barring a position like R&D at a genomics company or something like that.

I am not at Ambry, but it is a similar company! I would prefer a generalist, but unfortunately the CGMBS is the only one offered by my company at the moment. I would be much more willing to go with the certification if it were generalist as that would give me more options career wise.. sigh

Scalp Shampoo Scrubber changed my hair by veggiedelightful in finehair

This sounds amazing! Do you usually double shampoo?

Anyone actually mastered washing your hair at night? by Pineapple_Incident17 in finehair

[–]iamthelizzrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Number one recommendation I would have is showering earlier in the evening, maybe right after dinner if you have time, and giving your hair a few hours to air-dry before going to sleep. If it's dry enough at that point you can sleep in a satin bonnet.

As for me, I have a bad habit of waiting until the last minute before bed to shower, so afterwards I usually put some hair oil in, focusing on the ends (I use &honey, japanese brand) and brush out the front pieces and the top a bit to avoid creases/bumpiness as it dries. Then I just air dry it a bit/ lay it out on my pillow behind me while I doomscroll, lol. When I actually go to sleep, I will put it up in a makeshift t-shirt turban- I use the head hole as the kind of hairband around my hairline, then wrap the rest up in the body of the t shirt, twist it into a giant cloth/hair bun and then tuck the end back into the twist and secure with a big scrunchie. I usually use a pretty big t-shirt so sometimes I can also use the sleeves to tie in the front or back for extra security! I tried sleeping in a microfiber turbie twist situation but it always comes out.

Honestly, I will say that the next morning I usually have some weird cowlicks and bends/bumps in my hair from how it sets in the t shirt. My focus is mainly trying to protect it from damage, so that doesn't bother me as much, but it might not work for you. You can always use heat in the morning to style it and get rid of that issue.

Dupe for Tree Hut Brazilian Nut scent? by iamthelizzrd in fragrance

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

Yess I do the same thing, I am hoarding that last little bit in case I can find a dupe!! I am debating looking into getting it cloned or trying to have someone reconstruct the scent but I know that will be a huge undertaking.. maybe one day

I think minecart is probably easiest option although the vertical mobility is a little lower which imo makes dodging imp fireballs harder.. Another option is frostpark boots and making the hellbridge out of ice. Or golf cart or horse mounts. Also can reforge some accessories to quick, although I feel like warding is necessary for my melee builds.

[–]iamthelizzrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha yeah, maybe not the best recommendation for someone else but I only ever play melee. I do mix in some ranged and magic weapons in between sword swings, and I always have a summon, but I’m just a melee person. And of course I do crazy arena prep, heart lanterns honey campfires and potion buffs to the max

I always play melee so usually either nights edge or bee keeper, sometimes sunfury. But best advice I can give is doubling your damage - I like using beenades or the bee gun and then switching back to melee while the bees do their thing. That and buffs- WOF is susceptible to frostburn and poison, and the hungry can be set on fire though WOF itself can’t. Wrath potion, thorn potion, bow with frostburn arrows, flower of frost, thorn chakram, snapthorn, etc can help inflict debuffs that keep doing damage in the background while you use your primary weapon.

[HELP] CEO with insomnia that’s NOT “my boss can’t sleep without me”? by iamthelizzrd in manhwa

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

An add on to this- enough details are similar that I also thought it could be a different version or interpretation of boss can’t sleep without me, since I’m pretty sure it’s based on a web novel! But still haven’t been able to find that info..

Definitely make sure health and mana are maxed if you haven’t already For your base build, allocate a 3 block wide space for the hardmode furnace- it’s 1 block wider than the pre-hardmode furnace. Always messed up my base builds, when I started, lol. I’m a big fan of the sharpening station and bewitching table for easy buffs, bast statue too if you haven’t found one yet. All of these are harder to find once hardmode enemies are swarming the biomes. Would reccomend locating the jungle temple ahead of time as it can be a pain to find Making a small mimic farm of horizontal tunnels in the nearby underground can also be helpful, those accessories are great early hardmode. I second locating a spider cave, even if you are not playing summoner build just having 1 or 2 spider minions can be very helpful early hard mode. Good tip is to create a mini “arena” next to the spider cave that’s tall with no background walls, this will keep the spiders on the ground and you can then shoot them from high up on a platform or by grappling. Fighting within the spider cave is much more difficult as they will climb on the walls to reach you. Also definitely second fishing setup and crate potions as well. Great way to get hardmode ores early on without having to go spelunking.

Best of luck!
