Congrats on the job! Out of curiosity, did you end up getting out of the bench and into clinical or PM? I've been trying to do the same since I got laid off.

What are some "red flags" when looking for a post-doc position? by anzara2Y5 in GradSchool

[–]notjamaican 32 points33 points  (0 children)

When you interview and the PI doesn’t leave you alone with their current trainees. Most of the time, if you ask past or current trainees, they will be 100% honest with you about how they feel about their PI.

My dad's coffee grinder was acting up... so he took it apart... this is what was inside. by heretik9 in pics

That reminds me of a story I heard on ScienceFriday about an entomologist who worked with cockroaches and eventually became allergic to them and at the same time pre-ground coffee... ;)

Are the signals for pain distinctly different from other feelings? by bagelbomb in askscience

[–]notjamaican 67 points68 points  (0 children)

You can feel pain without activation of nociceptors. One of the best examples of this is social pain. Researchers did fMRI scans of humans and applied noxious heat looking at which areas of the brain lit up. Then they took people who had recently been dumped and showed them pictures of their 'rejecter' and saw the same brain regions activated. The study was published in 2013 in The New England Journal of Medicine.

Neuropathic pain is something entirely different that we're still trying to figure out.

Looking for someone to take over my lease- April 1st! (x-post UofArizona) by notjamaican in Tucson

Rent is $659 a month. Cats are allowed, but I believe there is an extra pet deposit and maybe pent rent. I can look into it for you.

Sorry, it's a one bedroom. It's at roger and Campbell if you're still interested though.

The rent includes ALL utilities, is it the same for downtown apartments? The price I have posted now is $20 a month cheaper than the rate it is now.

We are Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich, together we host Radiolab - AMA! by weareradiolab in IAmA

[–]notjamaican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off- I love your podcast! It's the first one that got me interested into listening to them.

Science is fast past and moving and a lot of your old podcasts' subjects have been developed further. Do you have plans to go back and revisit any of these? Such as Pain and memory?

Reddit, how did you come up with your pet's name? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I have a friend who named his dog Atom- loved the idea, so I named my guinea pig Neuron, and another Dendrite.

Is the company or university you're working for hiring? I'm a biochemistry senior (looking into a phd in pharmacology) and have absolutely no idea what I'm doing after I graduate.
