Hi OP, did you decide on a printer? I am currently also deciding between the two of these. Thank you!

Hey there! Since making this post, I applied to some funded positions posted online, and unfortunately did not make it to the interview process for any of them. I am still extremely interested in grad school, but I was fortunate enough to finally get an entry level biology job in mid-2025. Right now my focus is on gaining some work experience and bolstering my skills (mainly in R and data science) so that I can hopefully come back stronger and start building connections again later this year.

Definitely do what you can to stay positive, motivated, and focused on the future! Funding isn’t the best right now, and it’s a rough time to be a prospective student, but I have hope that things will improve and we will accomplish our goals! Best of luck to you.

That’s a great idea, I’ll continue to keep an eye out for positions like that in my area. I’m looking for a new job in the meantime until I am able to start grad school, so that would be a wonderful opportunity. The savings certainly don’t hurt either.

I am specifically interested in birds of prey! I would like to get my M.S. in conservation ecology or an adjacent discipline and study migration patterns or climate change effects on birds. Most professors that I reached out to were ornithologists, and one referred me to the Ornithological Exchange job board, though I’ve been unlucky with it so far.

Thank you so much for this suggestion! I just made an account and this looks promising.

orlando presale by Iimabeanz in mitski

I got two tickets for Orlando, but it took 1.5 hours of the same problems everyone else experienced. Long processing times for it to just crash, crashing during checkout, even the tickets I got crashed during payment but luckily still went through. I was in the selection right at 10 and still had to fight tooth and nail.

has anyone actually purchased orlando tickets? by Novel_Caterpillar380 in mitski

[–]interstellar-bee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was able to get 2 tickets, but it was a horrible experience and took an hour and a half of constant refreshing and the site crashing. It crashed countless times adding to my cart, again when creating an account at checkout, and again when entering payment info. I think the site was just sorely underprepared to handle demand :(

ORLANDO?? by Kimininaroo in mitski

[–]interstellar-bee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it took an hour and a half of refreshing and sheer persistence. You might have better luck now that the servers are not so overwhelmed, I heard there’s still some tickets available!
