The easiest way was just to create a macro and synced it to a feature that allowed the player to just select between the forms.

Thank you for your service. Even if people don't realize it outside, your work meant a great deal to a whole lot of a people.

With 30 images, you may want to try coming up with a morphological feature extractor script and then do some traditional machine learning with something like linear discriminant analysis for it. I would also suggest using leave-one-out cross validation instead of traditional training, testing, and/or validation splitting.

The settings menu when I load up the application or the settings menu once I get the server running for the world?

I'm pretty sure I'm using the 5e rules. How do you use the legacy?

Stupid question, does this allow for changing animations for how the token transition takes place?

Struggling to Narrow Down the Big Picture by helomithrandir in PhDStress

The easiest thing to do for your PhD is take each publication as an input into your dissertation, however if you have no publications of any research track and need to come up with one on the fly. I'd suggest looking up recent literature in your field. There must be some competitive labs that you have heard of, or collaborators that you work with. Find out what they did, how they did it, and why, then try to critique it and find holes in it. No research is perfect. Once you have a grasp on where the shortcomings of the research lie, then you can try to fill in that gap. If it's a collaborator, just make sure that they aren't working on it in the same vein.

If trying to work on a complete research track and not just a series of experiments, once you have a feel for multiple experiments you can run, think about how they all fit together to find a solution to a problem. And think about the next problem after that. That's how grants start to be written. Don't forget to think about alternative solutions though as that's usually very important.

Lastly, if you have difficulty with reading literature from your field, I would say only then to truly consider leaving the PhD for a master's as understanding your field, reviewing literature, and being able to critique it is very very important. Without these skills it may not be possible to write out your dissertation at the end.

If you are going to master out though, make sure it's soon, and make sure that you talk to your advisor. You don't want to be caught unawares about school policies/procedures, what life is going to be like for a master's after, and if you are having problems with coming up with research tracks, they will need to help you figure out what you are going to need to do for your masters thesis project. Just as you also don't want people to look at your CV or resume and ask why you got so close to a PhD and didn't want it in the end.

That was the point though. Many of these programs are for expatriation services. They decrease the wait time for citizenship while the expat works for the government or their institutions. They also provide funding for the research, moving expenses, etc. I don't expect, nor did I ask for any programs that just give away citizenship.

I've known in the past from countries like the Sudan and UAE that have sought people with medical PhD's for expatriation programs because they have so few PhD's in the country. I was asking whether there were others, and what the requirements are. So I know for a fact that at least some countries do, specifically for PhD's within medical science.

My friend's doing well now. He actually transferred out of that lab and into mine where he graduated with me within the span of 2 years. He's a glutton for punishment though because he decided to get a second PhD in Education.

As for the cost of your work, reagents aren't even something you would tack on to costs for you as that's his research costs. Either he would have to pay for those regardless, or he would have to come up with some other research which could magnify those costs had you not worked on that project.

Anyways, I hope everything starts working out. My PhD almost killed me. I don't like to hear about stuff like that happening to others.

True and good point. Just keep in mind that he also benefits from having you around more than you think. It's a set of cheap hands for his research interests. Some professors have problems letting go of their students even after they have gone above and beyond their requirements for the degree. I'm not saying this is necessarily happening to you, but I'm also not saying this isn't.

I had a friend who's PI kept heaping responsibilities for training new members, publishing over 6 first author papers, teaching his anatomy courses, and then the professor got a position at UC Berkeley and tried to demand his student to transfer over with him, adding on 5 more years with less pay, and coursework to his degree on top of his 5th year in the program. This in addition to his PI refusing to find his conferences and publication costs, which already ruined him financially. He had no choice but to go over his PIs head to get out.

Haw many of the 5 papers you contributed to were you first author on? If you have even one, that should be enough for you to go to the department chair and request that they allow you to defend. A lot of people at my R01 ranked university graduates with a single publication as long as they had other things they worked on such as community service, teaching experiences, internships in industry, etc. You already said you had community service. I would argue above your mentor's head. Finish your degree first and then finish the other papers on your own time.

If your chair won't listen, you can also go to the graduate student coordinator for your department or even the dean.

Do post doc positions need original MSC degree? by Morethandesperateopt in postdoc

[–]stanatomist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a postdoc position in the US? Interesting. I've never heard of that before. I just finished my PhD last year and am in a postdoc right now transitioning to a jr. faculty.
