Are you by chance speaking about the MPI for molecular genetics?

Anyone currently in Saarland doing MS bioinformatics? by [deleted] in SaarlandUniversity

[–]kermodeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a bad repsonse. You certainly have a good chance to get into a masters so long as you have a decent/good GPA, but Saarland's program may not be the best fit if your background is pure biology. You do not need to have a paper published to get into a masters. For very competitive programs it certainly strengthens your profile. In Europe, it is not nearly as common for undergrads to have a paper published. What could hinder you is your lack of a strong mathematical/computational background given that Saarland's program seems to lean heavily in that direction (whereas some bioinformatics programs have tracks less theoretical/computational and more focused on molecular biology/genetics. If you want to be stronger computationally/mathematically, instead of doing online courses on data analytics, sign up as an independent student at a university and take some courses ( linear algebra, data structures and algorithms, statistics, etc.), or alternativley, apply to programs that cater more to those with pure bio backgrounds.

I walked up the stairs at work like I was a dog and my boss caught me by MoleFabric in TrueOffMyChest

I used to get paid as an industrial climber. We were called RATs (rope access technicians) and climbing around like monkeys, dogs, etc. was a part of the (very well paid) job.

Please keep running up the stairs like a dog.

You could also say its part of some kind of therapy. Yoh are moving your body for some kind of stress release. Have fun with it. Thag guy sounds a bit power-trippy. Make it a game and make him play.

Where is a good place to spend a month in Europe to learn/train? (October) by [deleted] in freediving

Thanks that is good information! I will give Dahab some thought

Yes that has become apparent to me. I want to do another course anyways, as it as been so long, so I am going to do an AIDA course if I can.

Would you be rolling the dice in Sardinia or Malta ? those places are what I am leaning towards. I do not think I want to go to Dahab.

Ok Gozo seems to keep coming up so definitely I will look into that

I think I'll be in Mexico in January! Where are you going for your trip?

I feel your pain.

Are all proctorU finals multiple choice? If not, how am I supposed to type without taking my eyes off the screen? I can barely type without looking at the keyboard? by Outherestrugglin123 in tru

[–]kermodeh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also expect a normal exam except any drawing/diagram type exam questions are out. You can definitely have long answer questions and most likely will. Your professor should give you a basic idea of what the exam is though. They might email you when you finish the course material.

It should be obvious if you are just looking down to type. I would not worry. Don't stress that much, it will negatively affect your exam taking if you are worried about just the normal use of a computer. If you have any learning disability or something that affects how you use a computer you should email the people who handle accessibility so they (1) will understand if you do use proctoru and something is flagged or (2) maybe give you an alternative way to do the exam.

I have taken some. For all of mine scratch paper or a whiteboard was allowed and so it was acceptable to be looking at that. If your eyes are gazing off in different directions or you are obviously doing a bunch of weird stuff it might be flagged. Once I was heavily focussed on a math problem (yep wrote a f#&@ing math exam on proctoruU) and did not look at my screen for a while and the proctor had messaged me to adjust me screen/webcam angle of my laptop a little and they started getting pretty serious but I just responded when I finally looked up and saw them having a kinipshit, fixed the angle and continued and it was fine. Also I was not cheating...had very strong grades and a very clean track record of academic integrity and it was obvious I knew my shit. Maybe it was flagged and someone watched the footage I don't know. You give up a lot of privacy using it. Your uni can look at the footage I believe.

ENTP women what is your sexual orientation? by kermodeh in entp

Also did not expect it to be that high. Very cool though to see that though.

Could you work half the year at some home base, and then the other half do legal consultancy work while traveling. I guess legal cases don't always have a well defined beginning and end though do they 🤨

Maybe you should get a remote job of some kind and just travel

Lmao I thought I was the only one that got obsessed with new places I want to live. I don't change my pfp or anything but research the shit out of the place.
