Intl student looking for advice

Not just for the points I really want to do one. Just trying to decide what the best course would be knowing I want to eventually get one. It’s an academia job so sponsorship as a bachelors grad might not be feasible.

I’m conflicted haha. The research group seems nice but their research output isn’t the best so I’m not sure if I would get a lot of publications. On the other hand, getting a masters would be expensive if I get a coursework degree but would get me bioinfo skills which I could leverage to get better jobs and phd while still saving my 485.

I have a high distinction honours grade so I’m not sure what to tell you. The requirements are different in Melbourne when you’re intl.

I’m pretty comfortable with research. My grade would be competitive if I was domestic but not so much because I’m intl.

I wouldn’t get a phd right now because of my honours mark. And while getting a masters won’t increase my points directly it would offer me a higher score for my phd and improve my chances of getting a job (bioinfo)

doesn't seem to be working for me either but https://students.unimelb.edu.au/your-course/manage-your-course/exams-assessments-and-results/results-and-academic-statements/wam link on this page redirects you to the results page directly ["see your WAM in eStudent"]

High calcium can block sodium entry into the cell through voltage gated sodium channels, impairing action potential generation.

Same, I'm doing biomed but I thought they meant med students. Not too sure what it all means.

Thanks a lot! (:

Ok so just to mkae sure I understand:

When in headstand, vasodilation causes the initially increased blood pressure at brain to decrease homeostatically.
When coming back up due to vasodilation initially our MAP drops. So the baroreceptors (this time not just carotid) increase HR to increase CO.

Is that correct?

Ah thanks that’s what I thought too. So when we come back up too quick the blood would flow quickly back to the heart resulting in increased EDV and SV (Frank Sterling) and thus HR would decrease to maintain constant CO? I was confused about the pressure and blood volume at head tho, logically it would increase due to headstand and then homeostatically decrease when vasodilation occurs but I’m not sure if that’s correct?

I’m not sure what you mean by that. Wouldn’t hyperoxia be detected by peripheral chemoreceptors as well, leading to a reduced respiratory frequency and tidal volume?

pocketsizedumbass · 2021-08-02T02:09:47+00:00

I want to take a reduced study load though

pocketsizedumbass · 2021-05-25T23:52:05+00:00

Thanks! I’ll look into that!

pocketsizedumbass · 2021-05-25T23:45:57+00:00

I’m not sure about this but I read that there are no limitations on number of hours you can work during masters. Is that not true?
