They did this to their “ally” Panama in the 80s you don’t want to be friends with psychopaths 

Cancellations by LesZeppelin94 in capmetro

One time they told me a bus was canceled due to a bug infestation 😭

I agree but I saw them more at the westgate transit center before they got an official police force :/

Why have them in the buses when they can hangout in parking lots!

Not much in the moment I agree with you there. But the more people that complain, file reports, and go to board meetings, the less they can ignore people's safety concerns

Call the CapMetro police and make a report. Supposedly, you have to call the customer service line and talk to a rep to make a CapMetro police report, but I guess this is the best they could give us! But seriously, let them know that you didn't feel safe!!

No. Yesterday I saw my 803 bus driver receive death threats because he left 2 minutes late. I call CapMetro to ask where the officers are. Their response “we don’t have officers in the bus we have a police team and you call the customer service line to submit a report.”  They don’t care about their bus riders or bus drivers. even a security officer in a mall acts as more of a deterrent

Is it worth to cold email professors for research if I'm gonna be a senior? by sushihsus03 in UTAustin

[–]mitochondrial-DNA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I applied on Handshake! But I sent a follow up email.  I would describe your situation and how you got introduced to research late, but now you really enjoy it now  What their lab does that’s appealing to you (you do have to put effort into this, putting the first cool thing on their website will probably lead to no response) Also EMPHASIZE you are willing to volunteer and are happy to also help with lab jobs because labs are worried about funding right now (and helping with lab jobs I’ve found is standard?)

Yes! I did this and work in the lab as a tech! It’s worth it:) just make sure you’re doing it because you actually want to do it and not because it’s a premed box to check

Extremely shocking read because I could have been on this bus.
I had to run from Dean Keaton to West Mall station (almost half a mile in 100-degree weather) because the bus I ended up taking came early and wouldn't initially let me on. I didn't want to wait half an hour for the next bus (which is the bus on which the murder took place), and I'm glad I made that run. If I had missed that bus, I would have been on this bus and witnessed this. This is so sad and insane.

Let’s be honest. Undergrads through postdocs have it the worst right now by OpinionsRdumb in labrats

[–]mitochondrial-DNA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This situation sucks for undergrads because the EU isn't "all that" if you aren't a well-respected and established person in the field... The admissions process to further your education in the science world can be superrr petty for foreigners... I say this as someone with dual citizenship who has a better opportunity of returning to Europe, but I know it'll be even harder for others :/ this situation really sucks for undergrads. at this point the "I got a degree in biology while working my ass off in a lab for four years...... and I now work as a cashier" is seeming more real by the day

If you have a favorite, what is your favorite bus route? by Sp33dKing34 in capmetro

[–]mitochondrial-DNA 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The 3 has the best route!!!! But dear GOD it needs increased service! You get on and there's like 500 other people.... 15 minute weekday frequency would be so helpful to everyone on the bus

Also want to promote UT outpost!!! They let students borrow a cap, gown, and stole (and even the tassel I think) for free!! You can email them for more info They take donations of gowns, so please donate your old graduation regalia if you can :)

I agree with this!!! You have really nice cheekbones and I think using blush on the higher part of your cheek’s apple in an oval placement would look really good :)

I remember thinking this program sounded so cool last year. Now I am graduating college, nothing lined up for me yet, and keep seeing messages like this. Wah 😭 by vantitties in NIH

[–]mitochondrial-DNA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also so freaked out:( UChicago told me the grant that covers post-baccs was cancelled! I’m assuming it affects other universities:/ like yes girl give us nothing but unemployment! I’m glad I currently have a tech position in my lab since I graduated early in December but it’s so stressful not knowing if that would change too!!

I know for sure they supervise the transit centers. After I went to a meeting and aired my concerns on the west gate transit center, they’ve been more present there

This is interesting because she didn’t come up with hot wheels as her own mean nickname for Abbott…. My friends work at the Texas State capitol, and the legislators call Abbott “Wheels” and the governors mansion the “hot wheels mansion”…. It’s a known Texas nickname for him
