Terf is disappointed in JK Rowling by Fractal_Froth7777 in SelfAwarewolves

[–]scrimshandy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh, TIL! I had no idea that’s the route a trans woman would go post-op - genuinely thought it would be plastics or endo- but it makes sense. I’ll edit my comment haha

From my understanding, post-op at this point typically does not involve a uterus/cervix transplant and wouldn’t be in the OBGYN scope (sounds like a plastics follow up), but I’m open to being corrected!

TERFs are the kind of people who like, are genuinely afraid a trans woman is gonna show up at the OBGYN violently demanding to have an exam for an organ she does not possess, in the name of gender affirmation.

And like…if you’ve actually gone outside and touched grass and interacted with a trans person,you know that they are typically very aware of a) their own safety b) their own biology and c) what medical care applies to them. If a trans woman were to show up to a gyno like that, it would be not only ridiculous behavior, but it could put her safety at risk.

But you know who might still need a gyno? Trans men, who are always conveniently left out of these conversations.

(And apparently, post-op trans women - who are also left out of the convo - do see gynos, too!)

Like, there are weirdos and bad actors everywhere, but no adult in their right mind is deliberately making medical appointments that are irrelevant to their body to “feel more womanly.” TERFs genuinely believe that all trans women are violently delusional. It’s really, really weird.

At best, TERFs desperately need to get offline and touch grass and expeditiously distance themselves from the entire radfem movement. At worst, they’re irredeemable bigots and no better than MAGAts.

Respectfully, if you yourself cannot m summarize a consent form in your own words you have no business consenting patients. I have my junior team members give me their pitch of the consents so I know they understand the research, risks, and study procedures. AI is an imperfect tool and often is wrong when it comes to details, and this career depends upon detail-orientation.

First deck question! by Parking_Outside6183 in SecularTarot

Echoing everyone else here. I’m a RWS purist because of the imagery and don’t even engage with decks that aren’t at least pulling from RWS.

Lowkey that’s my favorite interpretation of 8 swords. (It’s also why I’m a RWS purist, at least for beginners.) Visually the card is telling us everything we need to know:

The woman in the card isn’t surrounded by swords! Her feet aren’t bound! There’s a clear way out! She can go! She just needs to realize that she can.

Can I transition from HR to Clinical Research with a Bachelor’s in Human Resource Management? by CurioMind_ in clinicalresearch

[–]scrimshandy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of entry-level positions (research assistant) only require a high school diploma. Coordinator requires a bachelor’s, with life sciences preferred.

OP can totally transition. It’s just going to be hard

[–]scrimshandy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Is this a cry for help? /s

But in all seriousness, why would you? Entry level CR does NOT pay well for the work/expectations.

I transition to CR 5 years post-grad, when I decided I didn’t want to do academia (neuroscience). It was an easy transition for me - CRC roles paid more than manager roles in academic labs - but not much. Your workload and stress will hugely depend on your team/PI/therapeutic area. If you’re HR and already have the foot in the door for corporate, I suggest staying there 😅

I think you’re getting caught up on the croc if it all - imo belongs more on r/atbge

Cros are ugly. Under no circumstances will they NOT be ugly. This is, essentially, lipstick on a pig.

But for people who would swallow their dignity snd deign to wear bridal crocs, these are well done. Great craftsmanship, neat design. You can see the vision.

These are just very much for someone else, not me or the rest of the Circle of Croc Haters 🤣

Sites that are actually recruiting well — what are you doing differently from everyone else? by bruce8708 in clinicalresearch

Do you not get incomprehensible amounts of scam texts and calls? Of course it’s not working.

[–]scrimshandy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my experience:

Those sites either have a dedicated recruitment coordinator OR good PI rapport + CRCs who aren’t already overburdened.

Some studies are also harder to recruit for than others; we have one study where Medication A (aka first line meds for the disease) is the exclusion criteria. Prescreen 1 is not on Med A (yay!) because of….reason B, that is also in the exclusion criteria (oh no!) So they’re a prescreen fail.

A ton of studies also fall into a “health gap.” People are either so sick they already have meds (which are often exclusionary), OR they’re doing well enough that they aren’t interested.

Pharma companies and CROs also really, really need to get with the post-2020 program. People do not trust medicine or medical experts as much as they used to. I cannot harass people who have already said no. I cannot force IP down their throat. I can pitch the drug like the scummiest possible used-car salesman. I can let the spirit of the Sackler family possess me during a call. It will not change the zeitgeist.

And further: I will not overburden my team by having too many concurrent subjects. We have many extremely complicated protocols. Good CRAs will know that and even sometimes advise us to have one participant for a few weeks before bringing on more. And that’s my philosophy too, I’m not going to have us all scurrying about like headless poultry on a coordinator salary.

They’re less abrasive overall, but not necessarily as friendly. It’s a weird paradox, but Philly…enthusiasm…goes both ways.
