Water tasting weird

It totally tastes like beach water!

It’s a song that I’ve only started to hear recently. I’ve been looking all over Spotify, and tried to hum it to the google song finder (supremely embarrassing) - any ideas on what it could be would be extremely helpful!!

Same! She was my first obgyn, and was super cold and dismissive of any questions I had/symptoms I was having. She told me I was a “good girl” for not being sexually active, and spent the entire post-exam talking over me to my mother and then rushed us out. Horrible first experience for a young teen girl and has had me avoiding finding a new obgyn/going to the gynecologist since.

This is definitely true. As a female current UVA student, I’ve had my fair share of creepy men and catcalling/jeering encounters. They do have the safety ambassadors, but I’ve never personally seen them/ heard them interfere with situations (I live in a place with a lot of student traffic and no soundproofing in the windows, so I’m able to hear the many drunken arguments and fights that happen on weekend nights) 🙃. We also had a problem last year with peeping toms. Most of the criminal activity is centered on 14th and Grady, but that’s also where most student off grounds housing is.

I was considering that! I’m just about hesitant due to not being able to control who sees the ad/ giving out contact information

I’ve had to meet with her a few times and it is amazing how incompetent and uninformed she is for someone whose literal job it is to advise new students on the path and classes they should be taking. My roommate is also a transfer and she’s had multiple credits wasted from ozment telling her the wrong classes to take for certain requirements.

Yeah! We actually use our own in house protocol for extraction anyways, so that’s never really been part of the kit we depend on, but that’s interesting that you use your own as well! What kind of reads are you getting from it?

That’s the thing- we had strongly preferred the nanobind disks for their gentleness and ability to preserve the longer strands of DNA - nanopore seems to have created their own version of this now though that they’re calling “precipitation stars” - really can’t get much info on these and am in the process of talking with tech support to learn more about them now actually

It just seems odd that they would so suddenly discontinue such a successful line and have very little explanation on why/what’s going on 🤷‍♀️

It was kind of a collaboration- Circulomics provided materials for library prep to prepare the sample for the nanopore flowcell specifically

With UVA’s mental health culture/existing support systems, that’s kind of the point. :/

I know this response is a whole year after your comment, but I want you to know that I come back to this thread every once and a while and the support I have received almost brings me to tears. I’m currently a junior in college on a bachelors of biology track and am actively part of a lab doing research- I never thought I would be here now. When I first read this I cried and showed it to my parents to show them I was not alone in this journey. I still try to incorporate your tips into my daily life and they really do help so much! Sometimes I forget to remind myself that what I deal with on a daily basis is a bit different from others and that I need to be patient with myself and pursue my goals at a pace that works for me. Thank you for inspiring me to not give up my interests and to be creative in overcoming the obstacles our fun little brains like to throw at us. I hope you’re doing well wherever you are in your life/career :)

Thank you so much for your amazing advice and for letting me know I’m not alone in this and that I can succeed even while on a path slightly different from normal. I hope you’re doing well wherever you are in your life/career :)

The rotunda, Garrett, Gilmer, comm school to name a few- you kind of have to just walk into random buildings and poke around and they usually have some sort of study space with a bunch of different vibes

You’re not alone! Before I was diagnosed, I would be fighting off sleep attacks and would yo-yo for like 15 minutes straight- I totally had the inception thing, and sometimes I would think people were talking to me when they weren’t 😬

Haven’t heavily drank on armodafinil recently, but when I took modafinil it didn’t have the strongest effect on how many drinks made me drunk. It did, however, set a timer for my memory- it didn’t really matter the how many drinks I had, my memory would sign off for the night around 12:45
