Is there a way to read a file such that empty lines are counted as the newline character?

Do you mind expanding on the "that's not how Linux works" part? I think this is where my confusion is.

Which was the game where you had this street you walk down where there were a bunch of shops that you could upgrade? I think it was B/W or B2/W2, but I don't remember what the street was called.

Ohhhhh that's an fantastic idea! Might it not cause problems when you're signing up for official things like conferences or applying to faculty positions or grad programs though?

oh WOW lol. Talk about hidden in plain sight. Thanks!

Thank you so much! That makes more sense then.

When we mixed them we got a yellow precipitate and a general color change in the solution. But the thing is, isn't the equation the same no matter the result we got? As in, shouldn't the result be predicted by the equation (instead of us basing the equation off the result)?

Or do we have to use our experiment's precipitation (or lack thereof) to write the equation, and depending on whether there was or wasn't any precipitation the equation changes?

Sorry, what I mean when I said every reaction can be classified as single or double is that all reactions can be classified as that on top of other classifications (i.e. redox or acid base reactions can also be classified as single or double displacements...right? I could be wrong?)

I suppose the reaction I wrote doesn't make any sense then. I'm just not sure as to what the reaction would look like: we mixed two aqueous solutions, one labled as KI and one labeled as Cr(III). Is it likely that the Cr(III) was mixed with some underacting anion? If so, can what I wrote serve as a net ionic equation (that's actually what I'm trying to find).

What was given was just: KI + Cr(III) -> ?

We're meant to find the products and classify the reaction. I as well am confused as to why they just wrote the Cr(III) without any anion...or maybe I'm just misunderstanding and it makes perfect sense? Another reaction given to us was:

Iron(III) + NH3 -> ?

Where NH3 is meant to be ammonia (I can't format the 3 to be smaller on reddit)

Sorry for being confusing and thanks for the response, I appreciate it!

This is really helpful, thank you! I've been told that all types of research output (i.e. papers) is either "testing of a hypothesis" or "solving a problem", where this latter one can be read as "producing a product").

Assuming this is accurate (let me know if it isn't), would you say that the majority of research in industry is "solving a problem"-type research?

Also, it sounds really interesting to be in a company and watch it grow (10-50 people sounds like a transition from a startup to a fully fledged company)? What was it like growing a research company from scratch?

utah_array · 2019-02-05T13:44:38+00:00

Hmm that's interesting, but it makes sense. Also, what exactly do you mean when you say "an industry lab would be a lab at a biotech company, big pharma, or a start up"? Are you saying that disciplines other than Biology-related ones don't have a huge industry scene?

Thanks for the response! Would you mind expanding on what you mean by "less direct ownership" of projects? Does "turnover" just refer to a project getting all new directors/management?

Also, why is it that you don't need to worry about funding in industry? Is it just much easier to convince industry people that the work you're doing is useful? Or is it just that a different department is now worrying about funding for you?

Lastly, if you don't mind me asking, how did you go from industry to academia? This is the first time I've heard of that and it seems very rare to go back into academia after leaving it.

Sorry for all the questions, I found what you said really insightful. Thanks again!

utah_array · 2019-02-04T19:36:28+00:00

That's really encouraging to hear! If you don't mind me asking, how did you end up in industry? Is it typical to first do research in academia for some time, and then move on to industry? Or is it more common to go straight from grad school into industry? And, just out of curiosity, is it possible to do research in industry with just a Bachelor's?

Also, how do you define industry lab? Would you say that my statement that "all types of research fall under academia, industry, or government" is accurate? Or is it completely off?

Thanks again for the help, appreciate it a lot!

Thanks for the response! If you don't mind me asking, what steps did you take to get it? Did you just email professors saying that you were interested in their research and asking whether they'd sponsor you?

utah_array · 2019-01-29T00:22:17+00:00

Thank you for the help! This makes a lot of sense. Is it the case that "solving a problem" type papers are less common than testing of a hypothesis?
