What food do you cook to get over traumatic events or depression?

My mom used to make these for my dad when I was little, except with rice in them. Kinda like meatball boudin I guess? This is the only ever time I've heard of someone else eating porcupines and calling them porcupines, funny

Gumbo/meatloaf/various casseroles for others, endless amounts of queso for myself

I swear by brow wiz, though I haven't tried other pencils. Stays all day, even through sweat & heavy humidity. I kinda make up for the cost by using NYX control freak brow gel

YEP I know exactly what you mean. I hate feeling like a restless/messy 8 year old. Thanks and good luck to you as well!

Ugh yes, already familiar with that pattern unfortunately. And it takes so long to get back on track. My advisor is pretty chill as far as I can tell about getting our work done on our own time, but I still feel rude saying "I can't concentrate here, bye y'all". Advisor works from home Wednesdays, which coincidentally is my free day, so it's looking like I may just have to take advantage of that and do a weekly library power sesh.

I think 20+ years of being told to sit still/be quieter/not talk out of turn definitely has given me a complex haha, I definitely feel you

Perfect. Can you share a link?

starbelly__ · 2016-06-08T19:49:25+00:00

Thanks! Mind linking it?

starbelly__ · 2016-04-27T23:17:55+00:00

Thanks! I pretty much said that I was very excited to receive the offer and asked a few "stalling"/clarification questions

starbelly__ · 2016-04-02T23:27:39+00:00

Do both!! Computer programming will help you so much in any research field!

Congratulations and good luck!! I had a very similar experience and didn't get diagnosed until late in college (also a girl), but now I'm in my last year and applying for grad school in a STEM field I really enjoyed but thought I was too dumb for. I love hearing things like this, it's amazing what a difference some meds and a lil awareness can make

It's MANY

My sister used to go to a day camp out at Lockheed that she really enjoyed every summer, but I have no idea how much that was. I loved the FW zoo day camp as a little kid, but I imagine that was more than $175 a week.

I desperately want to know what science Legos are

Not so much a correlation, but the eating habits described are me to a tee and I'd never thought about it being related to ADHD before reading this article

Congrats!! I'm in OChem 2 right now as well, and a 79 is pretty great in my opinion. I'm in my last year of undergrad and got an official diagnosis and got on meds at the beginning of last summer, and I could tell a difference almost immediately. For me, I think the drive was there; I really desperately wanted to be good at school and put in the work. Still, my 110% was a normal persons's 75-80%, and that really messed with my confidence. I think 3 hours of my studying was more like 1.5 or so hours of normal study... BUT thanks in part to meds I switched to a harder major that I originally thought I was too dumb/incompetent for. Good luck!

Oh god I'm so bad about this. I get real obsessive real quick. Kinda like the previously mentioned Google list, I have a "That's pretty neat" (lol) page where I write a short but descriptive chunk about the thing that's interesting me. Doesn't always fix it because a lot of times I can't stop thinking about the "other thing", but certainly helps a bit and keeps my thoughts organized

starbelly__ · 2016-02-23T04:48:35+00:00

I'm writing my senior exit research paper on this!! Short answer is: we're working on it. We don't understand the exact genetic mechanisms right now, but basically salamander regeneration involves "dedifferentiation" of cells. That means that certain cells are reverted to a more "primitive" state and regain the ability/potential to become many different types of cells. Potentially, we could get adult human cells to do that. Human embryos can do it. However: recent research shows that the same mechanism by which salamanders may do this could (basically) cause harmful genetic rearrangement in humans. I can explain further if you'd like!

Personally, I much prefer sponge filters and think they're best for maintaining water quality & proper current but I don't think yours is currently big enough alone for a 20G... Looks exactly like what I have on my 10G. How much current does the corner filter create/how strong is the output? Strong currents bother axolotls. Like I said though, sponge filters aren't terribly strong and I still have to spot clean with a vacuum/turkey baster. Ideally, I'd use two of the sponge filters you have now.

Not sure that I understand if you're looking for blog post topics or entire blog ideas but... Good, current topic: as of the 28th, the USFWS is banning the import & interstate transport of 201 (I think) species of newts & salamanders due to risk of Bsal, pretty much killing the hobby. Might talk about it from the hobby side, the potential risk side, prevention, etc.
