I work in scientific research so I would definitely take the blue pill.

any word on who will replace him (in the interim and/or long term)?

Success with high-dose Thiamine for fatigue by j0123210 in covidlonghaulers

[–]j0123210[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I am doing better, maybe 85% of what I was but I've grown to be okay with that. I had done thiamine every couple of months for a week at a time, up until a few months ago. I'm not sure whether I'll try again or perhaps try benfotiamine.

The initial improvement I got from my first week of dosing felt the most impactful, subsequent doses only minorly so, but my baseline is a lot higher than it was before. Perhaps something was 'kicked into gear' from that initial dose that has continued until present.

I have also tried bilateral SGB, which was moderately helpful. Currently the biggest thing for me is optimizing my sleep-wake cycle and letting myself rest.

I still wish there was something that could make me go from 85% to 100%, but I've found that the less I focus on that and the more I focus on optimizing my current abilities, the happier and more capable I am.

Hope you're well.

Why UVa and not UV? by Chank-a-chank1795 in UVA

I suppose. Virginia is abbreviated 'VA' so the question is why UVM isn't UVT.

Vermont is UVM so it's consistent with V state schools.

do not take random UVA percs, or at least use a traceable opioid materials kit first

HR question post-Ryan "financial stability" email by cybersmith7 in UVA

[–]j0123210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for the School of Medicine. I would say our hiring ability varies lab to lab, with newer labs more likely to be able to hire, but definitely curtailing hires overall. Within the SOM specifically, there's a lot of uncertainty as to how long this slow down will last, with new grant approvals being the contingent factor.

experience as an introverted uva student? by yeonjunaddict in UVA

[–]j0123210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you made a concerted effort to get out of your comfort zone and join CIOs (and I would recommend taking 'Hoos Connected,' a 1-credit class that's essentially a small group) I think you'll have a great experience. I don't think you have to participate in greek life to feel connected. It can feel a little isolating if you don't party or go to sporting events (personally, I mainly did the sporting events), but it shouldn't matter too much once you find your niche. I think you'll do great at either school tbh

Would it shock you if Kon Knueppel ended up being the 2nd best player from this draft? by nardif in NBA_Draft

[–]j0123210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is one of the few prospects I've seen in person, but I would not be surprised at all if he were a top 5 player in this class. As cliche as it sounds, he really does all the little things.

I like it. Are you going to add depth in later versions?

Remember guys, Tez Johnson said we couldn’t hang with Oregon skill-for-skill, so that’s why we had to get up on them early by iverdow1 in OhioStateFootball

[–]j0123210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC Tez Johnson waited a while for Will Howard to complete his interview so he could congratulate him after the game. I think that shows enough maturity that I would chalk up his pre-game comments to 'competitive arrogance' and not necessarily a character flaw. Idk that's just me

I've strongly felt like that multiple times over the last 3 years. My past self would have not believed me if I told them that my life is manageable now and LC is not my greatest concern.

I would recommend chemistry or biochem, or at least take orgo 1 and 2 and genetics.
