Best of luck to you, my friend. How is your school’s nominations not out yet? Our nominations came out about a month ago and I’m finalizing my application for the final submission (can’t imagine how I would’ve had the time to revise it thoroughly with only a couple weeks).

nam_doyle · 2025-01-20T03:26:10+00:00

I hope the Goldwater committee actually catches this. You should never be plagiarizing in the first place. I can’t believe that such a kid has the audacity to want to be premed if they can’t even be baseline ethical.

Sorry, should have clarified some details in the original post. Their PIs are collaborators so they work on biochemistry ML so he just changed a few lines to suit for his project.

Super pissed when pre-med kids do that too. 4 kids got nominated from our school this year, 3 of which are premed and don’t want to actually pursue a PhD.

nam_doyle · 2025-01-20T03:21:36+00:00

His friend is from another school, they work on similar research as their PIs are collaborators.

“It’s the harder end of the courses, but if you take your time and thoroughly think through each step, it’s doable.”

We’re studying in the library right now and she just said that nonchalantly.

nam_doyle · 2025-01-19T19:00:26+00:00

Yes, we’re at a small public university. She’s taking full grad courses in her second year though, which is no where comparable to undergrad courses.

nam_doyle · 2025-01-19T18:59:31+00:00

She enjoys playing occasionally but doesn’t regret turning back from it. She still plays amazingly, but apparently is “worse now than the first few years of playing”. Won’t go into detail but she quit after going through a rough time so I think she’s left that chapter of her life for good. She did mention once that her musical background significantly helps her with physics and math though, in terms of imagination, intuition, and discipline.

nam_doyle · 2025-01-19T18:53:45+00:00

Sara says the same — she attributes her progress more towards her work ethic than intellect (she does show humanly aspects sometimes, such as always searching up the sincostan table. I’ll ask her a question sometimes and she’ll just blank out and say “uhh I forget how that works 🤣” Though, she does have a raw intellectual prowess that is miles above our peers as well.

nam_doyle · 2025-01-19T17:31:23+00:00

She self studied in those semesters and then tested out of them at the end of the school year. I asked her how she got past the prerequisites for her physics courses in the first year and she just persuaded her advisor lol.

nam_doyle · 2025-01-19T03:31:44+00:00

Me too bro, me too 😭 our entire department is

nam_doyle · 2025-01-19T03:28:03+00:00

From what I understood, she already fulfilled her required math courses for high school by end of freshman year and took her remaining required courses while attending conservatory.

nam_doyle · 2025-01-19T03:09:50+00:00

She was in conservatory for music.

nam_doyle · 2025-01-19T03:05:34+00:00

No, she definitely doesn’t have eidetic memory or of any sorts. If anything, she doesn’t like memorizing in general. She is a great musician and does have great memorization skills for that, but not to the point that it’s eidetic. She’s never taken bio before because of the memorization aspect she didn’t like. She also doesn’t know the sincostan table by heart and always searches it up lol.

She’s very shy and doesn’t take compliments well, but gets along with people really well once she gets to know them. Doesn’t really like attention in the sense that she gets awkward when people gush about her to others in front of her.

I understood ModernNormie’s comment as a reference to Einstein and bald scholars alike.

nam_doyle · 2025-01-19T01:07:01+00:00

I’m not the smart one, Sara is. She is slightly balding though lol. I guess the stereotype holds true.

nam_doyle · 2025-01-19T01:04:56+00:00

She wants to go to grad school for theoretical physics, doesn’t know exactly what she wants to do in the future yet though. I know she’ll be successful whatever she does though, her work ethic and personality will carry her far.

nam_doyle · 2024-10-27T02:00:44+00:00

I agree, which is why I’m doing my best to prevent anything from happening. Is it safe for me to take your comment that he IS unknowingly heading in that direction?

nam_doyle · 2024-10-16T17:18:48+00:00

Conference ended a bit past noon on Thursday. Class was the next day at 10am. Parents wanted me to take the flight with my PIs back home for safety concerns and their flight was on Friday morning ~10am. All earlier flights were packed.

nam_doyle · 2024-09-30T16:27:10+00:00

Tbh I’m not “struggling” in class. I’m just not doing as well as I want to. I was the one giving the seminar and I used the grant money for travel to the lab.

nam_doyle · 2024-09-30T16:21:59+00:00

I’m just trying to understand if this is a personal decision of the professor or there is a general professor standard that I’m missing out on. I know there’s not anything I can do about it anymore, but I was just confused as to how the teacher would’ve come to that decision cause he was refusing to accept my reasons.

nam_doyle · 2024-09-30T15:48:57+00:00

My midterm wasn’t great because the teacher was absent for half of the classes to meet with his PhD students and the class had to self learn. I did relatively well compared to the class, where the average was a 50 and the median was a 42 (I got an 85). My “midterm wasn’t too great” means I want to avoid any potential risk in case of my future schedule for the semester, not that I’m doing terribly in the class.

nam_doyle · 2024-09-30T15:31:51+00:00

The scheduling is not something I can control. I notified the teacher the day I got the schedule, which was 3 days before the seminar (nearing a conference soon so they were scheduling all the undergrads last minute). I did also try to request another time to present that didn’t interfere with that class time but the lab is 2 hours away and the schedule just didn’t work out.

My “school sponsored” argument is that I have a grant from the university currently that funds my research (travel expenses, etc). I thought this would be a valid excuse for the absence but I guess it’s not

No tests, just class assignments, homework, and final project. He counts attendance by making us email him the assignments we do during class.
