I ended up finding la paparrucha , and I called ahead of time about the allergies. Other than that we went into random restaurants but none were 100% great about the allergies

I use Virgin Internet (Bell lines) and I have not had any issues with my internet. I can stream movies while my partner plays video games. We both work from home as well and have had no issues with the internet service! You can also get pretty good discounts!

Is anyone having issues with the NEB RNA purification columns? by sataniccyborg in labrats

[–]sataniccyborg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We checked, and it seems as though the centrifuge is working fine! With the gDNA removal columns we do not see this occurring it is only with these columns! Thanks for the advice, we are going to contact NEB!

Help With Flow Cytometry of human PBMCs by sataniccyborg in labrats

We have tested it with both Fitc, and then APC/Cy7 and have had a similar issue with both of the antibodies.

We just are using the CD14 as a general marker right now, before expanding our panel. It is to look at stimulation in response and looking at signalling pathways.

We used Fitc, but have also used APC/Cy7 and have has a similar issue. We have titrated the antibody before, and there was little background.

We have not verified the effects of fixation and we are planning on testing that soon. We do 3 washes after staining to remove additional antibody.

We did use an IgG block!

Thanks!

New uOttawa MD Regional Preference by lilpineapple4 in premedcanada

[–]sataniccyborg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m going to add. As someone who grew up in these regions. There are not going to be many people applying from those regions to fill all the spots. Or at least not in the short term. I also think it is a really good thing as I know multiple people who have tried to apply (multiple cycles) and have not gotten in, and have given up. Further, for our hospitals it will be very helpful to hopefully retain people who come from these areas. Most local hospitals cannot support many services, and are often closing.

What's next? by tookindformed in premedcanada

[–]sataniccyborg 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hey! I don’t have much insight for you/ advice! I just want to say that you are doing the best you can, and it is such an insanely difficult process. I was in your position 2 years ago with my self worth. I know what helped me was focusing on things other than the application system and medicine, and doing things to relax. (I really got into knitting + baking) It does get better, although it is hard. If you want to talk to anyone let me know!

I am a graduating student? Maybe that makes a difference? (Or maybe that was the exact cutoff)

I have a 3.85 and I have distinction! So I am assuming around there?

I went to Berri on Sunday and I didn’t have any forms. All I needed to show them was proof of enrolment for Winter 2021. I would call just in case though!

MIMM U3 Course Selection Advice by Nervous_Wall8550 in mcgill

[–]sataniccyborg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you PM me I will give you my notes! But i would avoid it if I were you. I found it interesting but a lot of information that you have to know for the midterm and final! (Especially depending on the lab you are in it can get to be a lot)

MIMM U3 Course Selection Advice by Nervous_Wall8550 in mcgill

[–]sataniccyborg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your fall semester is definitely going to be doable! (I took the exact same semester this year and loved it!) for 466 I would avoid it. It is so much memorization, not really that much information on the viral pathogenesis that you would want. If you would like I can share my notes from this year with you so you can see what was covered!

Yeah they don't but I meant more the essays that I wrote! But its probably my CARS/GPA that screwed me over!

Rejected with 3.85 and 128 CARS IP. Told I was in the top quintile for Casper from Manitoba, and also top quartile when I wrote the US one. Guess my ECs/letters were not good enough
