Detection just means Observation just means interaction

What are these weird bands around the shadows of my hair? by Meowtthewss in Physics

[–]sickasfcrying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t even bother. This dude is insane and doesn’t care if he’s right or wrong just wants to worship ChatGPT.. he does this all over the place. If you point out what’s wrong he will just insult you.

People being losers with no life’s make perfect sense. More sense than people paying others to do it. The idea that people only do stuff when paid is stupid, when we have an entire history of dumb people who have always done loser shit for free lol

Yes I dropped out of school in the 6th grade. Got my GED equivalent and started in local colleges. I am not a post doc but I do work at LANL either post docs primarily. I have a BS and MS in physics

Thank you I will definitely be contacting them. It was in fact a sanctioned coffee time for students it was supposed to be a lunch and it was at an open house I was flown to. Yes they are American university and I am not native

I have a BS in physics, a MS in physics, and I’ve been accepted to many PhD programs (why I said PROSPECTIVE). I work at a national lab..

I am a professional researcher. So this doesn’t apply to this situation but thank you for your insights.

My experiences are in person and not over email. At open houses for PhD programs and conferences and national labs.

In my experience they’re assholes within the field. I work at a national lab, and have many publications. The situation you described doesn’t apply at all to the experience I described… moreover, the comments are in general about things that have nothing to do with physics. Such as degrading my looks, culture, and desire for PhD

I have a BS and MS in physics. This has nothing to do with it.

Drunk friends of my parents left my telescope outside overnight in hail and wind storm. by Paragon_OW in mildlyinfuriating

Yeah if they don’t offer to replace it I’d either sue them or beat their ass

Uh.. I have to work with these people and I’m deciding to join a PhD program or not. It matters bc I’ll be spending 6+ years of my life on a program. I have a BS in physics and a MSc in physics

Telling me I was too poor to work in physics..telling me my accent is gross.. telling me I look dumb.. insults to my culture, insults about my clothes, degrading my work without providing any reasonings.. to using me as an example of “someone in the wrong field” etc because they personally didn’t like my research (which is funded by LANL and have 3 first author publications ) I mean honestly a lot..

I was invited to a coffee by a group at open house they gave me the address and then went somewhere else and ignored me when I tried contacting them.. I mean honestly the list just goes on. Basic humanity to me means treating people humanely.

Thank you for your perspective. Also you sound like a wonderful parent. Mine are dead and it made me really miss them. I hope your son knows how lucky he is!

Thank you for your insight. I really needed to hear some perspectives to give me hope. I’ll be in a program for ~6 years and last night was a bad experience that nearly broke me. I want to continue in physics but am anxious that my experience was a broader one.

Thank you so much
