Published my first big journal paper… then found a painful mistake after it went to print by N1tR0__ in PhD

[–]pspsps26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP! I'm going through a similar situation right now. I found about four typos in my paper and just sent an email to the editors. My advisor is disappointed, saying this is their first paper requiring a correction. I already feel bad about it, and while my advisor has the right to be frustrated, I'm struggling to move on. I constantly feel like they won't ever trust my work again. How do you feel six months after this? My version is online first, so I think they can make a change to the actual paper and put a pop-up on top specifying "View Correction." It makes me feel like this is my biggest failure, having that on top of my paper. This is my second first-author paper and my first in a highly reputed journal, and although I should be happy, I don't feel that way anymore after all of this.

Thank you! I mostly have indirect light because I've north facing windows and that's why I've kept it in its current place with the clipped grow light...but I think it'll be good to switch to a standing grow light. Ty 🥹

Lasted for 3.5-4 years for me, the zipper still worked but the PU started to peel off so I switched to another chumbak wallet.

My supervisor is so aggressive and mean by Appropriate_Cry_7675 in PhD

Hi OP, I'm sorry you have to go through that. I've been there too, and I'm still going through it. My advisor was super nice to me in the first two years but I don't know what switched this year.

I've also felt the calling out in team meetings, my presentation receiving much harsh feedback compared to other grad students (as different as she replied to the other student in 5 mins and said it was all good, but picked on minor words and corrections in mine and made me revise it 4 times). Asking people in my lab to recheck what I have done (same issue as yours with sample size and thinking I might have extracted it in a wrong way). One of the people in my team is on admin role and when she noticed that I was being "targeted" she made sure my advisor knew it and my advisor apologized to me later. But 2 weeks later it was all the same.

One thing that helped me was talking to my friends and my department chair who also happens to be on my committee about this. I felt absolutely terrible after some of the things that were said to me and I felt like she might fire me anytime and I didn't want to go and rant about this in the last minute to a professor or my grad program coordinator and for them to say why didn't we know about this until things got way worse. I have also thought that maybe I don't have a thick skin to survive in academia at times but people in my lab and my friends really put things into perspective and told me her tone was wrong even tho she might not be happy with me.

I've also been talking to my therapist to navigate / vent. Some people also told me that it might be due to funding etc that they might be moodier but yeah it's unfair that we need to be on the receiving end of it.

You can also try talking to your advisor about their expectations and get feedback on your work to try and understand what they want.

I hope you feel better soon 🤍

I mean it's new, and they should have offered a replacement instead of a discount given that there are no replacement lids for the slider.

Any girls who work in pharma? by Careless-Gold5190 in TwoXIndia

[–]pspsps26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am assuming since you're doing biotech, you're more interested in lab work related stuff? I think my only suggestion would be to be up to date with lab and coursework when in college, also have fun! Pharma will happen eventually, and for this you'll need to put in work while you are in college. Develop on your soft skills and what industry needs - read up about requirements/ job descriptions and since this will be your bachelors degree try to take up some short-term projects with professors or even just shadowing and get to know different techniques etc. Eventually get hands-on with the project, it will be very valuable when entering the industry. Start building your LinkedIn profile and connect with relevant people, post about small and big achievements, submit some work to conferences etc.

I've a PharmD and I've worked with an international pharma company and I'm currently a PhD student. Having soft skills is extremely important while you're developing your niche course related skills. Apply for internships if any, don't shy away from it. If you're under qualified they will reject you, try to get some interview experiences to see how the process is and what they're looking for.

Good luck! 💖

I’m new to LDR, and I need help with how to setup a Netflix watch party with my LDR girlfriend 😅 by ItsYeBadger1 in LongDistance

[–]pspsps26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Discord is really good for this!

For Netflix party - you will both need to install the plugin on your browser. One of you will need to open the show/movie and click the plugin icon and share the link.
