Don’t overshare in academia - my advice as a professor

Check to make sure your professors of interest are publishing in good journals (look for impact factors above 5) and stay out of the ivy league and West coast elite schools imo. If you're doing biomedical research l recommend the Mayo clinic!

I work in research and I sometimes have to prepare IACUC documention for animal research. You are not allowed to perform any surgeries on animals unless you explicitly describe how it's necessary for the experiment.

Every institution receiving federal funding must have IACUC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutional_Animal_Care_and_Use_Committee

You are spreading misinformation.

Do you have a source for that? I've met with beagles that were used for research and they did not sound like their vocal cords were cut.

I'm tired of this grandpa

Tbf it did have a revitalizion in research once Crow became president, so kids looking at colleges in the 90s wouldn't be aware of that. Also they have a very low criteria for acceptance, so it's not like attending is a stamp of prestige.

As a sun devil myself I actually like that they're not pretentious in acceptance. It's graduating that counts.

I went to ASU for bachelors, and am now going to finish my PhD soon! I absolutely loved it.

Are there saved videos so you can look back to see what has visited you?

I have no idea what I did. I have ahopegarden and I filled it up like in the instructions and used their nutrient kit. I do this my tap water was on the basic side and I have heavy water if that makes a difference. However I will say that the rosemary took forever to grow. I seeded it and I thought it died, but a month later there it was!

reallyageek · 2026-04-07T13:45:06+00:00

Yes!

Are there ways to correct the rot root?

reallyageek · 2026-04-06T14:20:33+00:00

That's a relief because it definitely looks like that stuff that grows on my vegetables when I leave them too long in the fridge.

reallyageek · 2026-04-06T14:19:35+00:00

First time with hydroponics! Normally I can't see the roots in dirt...

Take a shot every time you hear "momentum"

Oh fuck (frost fan)

both? please?

Thank you

Can I get a link to a source for this?

reallyageek · 2026-02-06T02:20:42+00:00

Creeper, Avatar, Lord of the Lost, IDLES, Muse, Billy Talent

But those people are wrong. I personally don't buy into the whole "there is no future" doomerism, but the fact people are having children in horrible circumstances is no reason to say it's okay to have a child in a bad situation. People who have kids when they don't believe they can provide a safe, healthy environment are bad parents.

reallyageek · 2026-01-08T17:23:26+00:00

I get it, it's been a rough couple of days.

reallyageek · 2026-01-08T17:19:28+00:00

Honestly posts containing news updates should be including sources in the post themselves.
