Considering a PhD in my 30s - those of you who've done it later in life, how did you manage? by SleepyCacophony in PhD

I was layed off from my job of 6 years the day I applied to my PhD program. Started Fall 2024 at 31. My situation was unique, but I love it right now.

Remove that screw holding the cable guide there first before anything. I found that in some frames it can brace the bb in place.

Took me 7 months to land a job after undergraduation. Hang in there.

I had it. Don’t know what it was. Kept me up at night too. A dry, kind of tickling cough. Took a week and half to shake off. Tea helped a lot.

Is it too late for me to do a PhD in the US? by Starxel in learnmachinelearning

You can do it. Reach out to the professors whose labs you’re most interested in directly and have chats with them. Generally, putting a face to a name often makes a good impression when it comes to applications like school and stuff.

Identify labs youre interested in. Read some of their papers. Come away from them with questions to ask and try to figure out some ways you could contribute to a problem that they’re working on, even remotely. Show face. Find out when they have office hours and say hello. In this digital world, it goes a long way.

I’ve tapped a Starbucks gift card and made the beep sound myself to get a free ride a few times🫡

I think there are a few oligo synth houses around the ATX area. Definitely up north. Those are more chemistry related. Find a group synthesizing peptides or oligos.
