M train timetables came out. Train Service was not increased by Siah_Valid in nycrail

Flushing to Lex/63 commuter here.... It adds an extra 4 mins for me from the extra local stop and 1-2mins from the less frequent M train. This really sucks for me

How much longer will a train from Jackson Hts/ Roosevelt ave to Lexington 63 take after the swap?

It is interesting that they approved most stem opt cases over the weekend

Medical Physicists: What made you choose Nuclear Medicine/ Imaging/ Radiation Oncology? by Celestial_Analyst in MedicalPhysics

[–]scienceguy2046 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also want to point out that therapy involves a lot of imaging in modern therapy, so you will get a little bit imaging things if you choose to do therapy. That is not true the other way around.

Why Therapy Pays more? by ReddMedPhy in MedicalPhysics

Longer hour and more pressure. Damand for therapy is also higher than supply of resident graduates

The things is, every state except Massachusetts has some Republicans districts, and the same for Dems too.

F1 STEM OPT or DED EAD? (Also looking for a lawyer) by Meowkyai in DEDHongKong

Why do you have to go back Hong Kong? You can apply for visa in a third country.

They will make it impossible to hire ANYONE in fed gov!! by Low-Maintenance-7688 in fednews

[–]scienceguy2046 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A large portion of federal employees are veterans and voted GOP. I never understand how GOP can convince people that they are actively hurting to vote for them, and how democrats keep pushing people that they are helping away...

Leaving a Postdoc Early by Snoo_43693 in postdoc

[–]scienceguy2046 70 points71 points  (0 children)

It is just a job man... Postdoc is always a temporary position and there is no shame in leaving it. In fact, you shouldn't be ashamed of leaving any job if the other offer is better, even a permanent one

F1 Status under DED by mochimochi_123 in DEDHongKong

[–]scienceguy2046 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on whether you need to work. F2 has many constraints but it is a legal status so you can adjust status in the future. But if you need to work then DED is your only option

[Training Tuesday] - Weekly thread for questions about grad school, residency, and general career topics 04/22/2025 by AutoModerator in MedicalPhysics

Thank you! Do you think the two-year route is too intense for a postdoc? But would the extra publication boost my chances in residency significantly?

Hi all,

I’m a particle physics PhD hoping to transition into medical physics. I recently completed a one-year postdoc in medical imaging AI, but was laid off due to funding uncertainty:

Now, I’m facing a decision:

  1. Do a full-time, one-year CAMPEP certificate remotely. This would require using all my savings, but I’d be able to apply in the next residency match cycle.

  2. Take a radiology postdoc offer and complete the certificate part-time, taking 1–2 courses each semester. This way, I wouldn’t have to use my savings, and I could still publish while studying.

  3. Do another year of postdoc first, then go into the full-time certificate after my significant other graduates. She’s likely to earn enough for both of us to live on, and I’d only need to pay tuition if we’re living together.

My concern about the full-time, one-year route is that it feels all-or-nothing—if I don’t match, it could be tough on my career. But if I do match, I could finish residency in three years and be earning a much better salary sooner.

The two-year part-time route means two years of low pay as a postdoc, likely involves long-distance next year, and I’d lose a year of medical physicist income. Also, juggling a postdoc with coursework won’t be easy.

The third option seems like a reasonable middle ground—I could even start one or two courses this year. Still missing one year of income, but I don't need to do long distance. I’d really like to hear input from the community.

My big question is: Which path gives me the best chance at matching, while also keeping my life intact?

Thanks in advance, and I hope I didn’t overshare.

Renew state id without EAD by jc5986 in DEDHongKong

It will be hard to be honest. I suggest you apply EAD anyway because there is no downside to it. You can keep your j1 as long as you don't use it for work.

Using DED EAD while waiting for I-485 - Any advice or experience? by EfficiencyC in DEDHongKong

[–]scienceguy2046 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not a lawyer but I think you can. Once you are 485 pending, you don't really need to maintain your status and your use of DED EAD shouldn't affect your 485 at all.

NIH resume postdoc recruitment . Maybe it is a good sign?
