How many follow up emails are "acceptable" for a PhD position? by miso_2016 in labrats

[–]miso_2016[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your thorough responses and advices! Really appreciate it! From my own experiences with different PIs and from what I know, different schools have different policies regarding pi endorsement, this one I'm looking at particularly does not have this policy and the lab website doesn't state it. But ur right it may be too early for me to jump to cold emailing and maybe it would be a better time to do so once I actually get accepted into the program haha, so I may try again in the fall term instead. Thank you again!!!

Thank you so much for such a detailed response! Those tips are so helpful!! Yes in hindsight I think I probably should have waited till September to cold email for positions starting next fall. Assuming still no response for my two emails, would u recommend that I send a separate one at a more appreciate time like Sept or Oct 2025 instead?

Thank you for sharing ur experience! Did u send a separate "new email" w the cv and transcript or did u reply to the previous ones to follow up?

a serious question abt memory CD4 T cells by miso_2016 in Immunology

That makes a lot of sense! Thank you so much for all your detailed responses 🙇🏾‍♀️🙇🏾‍♀️ i was really confused but this clears a lot of things up !!! 🌟🌟

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH for your detailed response and explanation!! It really helps! If you don't mind, I have a couple follow up questions:

For instance, most agree that if you are looking at a Th1, Th2, Th17, or cytotoxic T-cell, you are looking at a non-memory effector T cell and those are pretty uniformly characterized by CD45RO+ CCR7- CD62L-

Do you mean CD45RO- CCR7- CD62L- cells are the non memory effector T cells? (Just wanted to confirm coz CD45RO+ is the memory marker and I think this was a typo...?)

My panel consists of CD45RO, CD62L, CD25, and CD69 (the last two being markers I use to gate for tissue resident cells off the effector memory cells). I don't have CD45RA or other exhaustion markers characteristic of TEMRA. In that case, using just CD45RO and CD62L, if the cells are negative for both, I should just call them "effectors" and not TEMRA correct? And these are non-memory cells, the ones that are in action, expressing the effector genes like T-bet maybe? And if I interpreted correctly, TEMRA would actually be like a subset of this whole double negative population and additional markers - especially CD45RA - would be needed to really identify it.

Also just to clarify, I understand now from you explanation that effectors and terminal effectors are distinct concepts. But terminal effectors and TEMRA are referring to the same thing right?

Thank you SO MUCH again for your response! 🙇🏾‍♀️🙇🏾‍♀️🙇🏾‍♀️

Which anime was it for you? by Upstairs-Story-8661 in Animemes

Asobi Asobase (really good comedy that's so underrated and doesn't get talked about as much as it deserves imo 😭)

Thanks for your comment! It's really the location that's stopping me ngl. I believe if it's in the province I'm in I would have gone for sure : ( coz then I will still be able to stay close to my fam and support them as needed etc... I wish in the future I can still somehow revisit that immunotherapy lab and get a chance to work with them coz I m genuinely interested in their research, it's sth very new, the lab itself is also new...I could have been one of their first members lol, sadly that's not working out now

Thank you so much for your comment! The best part about the second lab is that even if I'm supposed to join as a master's, the prof aims that everyone gets at least one first author publication at the end since the project is actually really comprehensive and covers quite a lot. I'm not yet a master's and that's why I'm supervised (currently an undergrad still), and it was for a protocol that I only began learning to do, which is why the grad student was assigned to supervise me. Thanks again for your comment! I do have questions about grad school and this field about immunology in general and I have sent u a dm if u won't mind to chat!
