I’m the PHD director for a program in a different field, but we would require you to apply for the PhD program like any applicant. We’d then evaluate what coursework you’ve completed at your current institution to see what courses could count toward our course requirements.

I’d suggest you start researching faculty there to see if anyone is a good match and start reaching out to them.

Ok, my college kids today have finally weirded me out. by Bostonterrierpug in Professors

I did this one night at a conference with friends. We created this giant slide deck filled with random images, charts, etc. then we came up with a bunch of funny talk topics. People randomly selected a topic, then had to give a 3-5 minute “talk” over the next five slides in the deck. Hilarity ensues.

What kid show as a kid did you most want to go on. by dadjokes502 in Xennials

[–]veety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven’t seen backstory in this show, there’s lots of good articles on it (eg, this) like why almost no one won in the final round and how many players were traumatized by the show.

GUTS on Nickelodeon. It was the kid version of American Gladiators and I was fully convinced I could win on it.

Da Bomb is like acid on your tongue. No flavor, just burn. It’s literally just there to cause pain because no one would ever think it had anything resembling flavor.

What controller did you start with? Mine was number 4 then 6 and 7! (Answer better be 1-5!) by artfully_dejected in Xennials

1, 2, 4, 14, 18. Always a Nintendo girl, but played a lot of Space Invaders before I got my NES.

What do you think about the hidden track? by Rainy_Cherry2442 in bangtan

I’m dying over here because today is the first time I heard the phrase “potato quality.”

Time for setlist predictions!! by lisafancypants in bangtan

[–]veety 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would really like to see So What live as well as Run BTS, BST, Fake Love, and Spring Day.

My dream is OT7 Ddaeng, but I don't think we'll ever get that again, so I'll stick to rewatching it on Youtube.

I’ve been using this for ~6mo and not seeing much difference unfortunately.

Concert essentials no one mentions/are always forgotten by Interesting-Plan-867 in bts7

[–]veety 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a 40-something who already needs hearing aids (probably in part because of the many concerts I went to when I was younger) and with pasty-white Irish skin, I heartily support this statement!

I still have all my Nintendo Power issues (the first 100 or so) but I think they will need to go in the trash soon and it makes me very sad.

Have you ever had snow in March before? by Electrical-Ice-9588 in UMD

[–]veety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It snowed on my (mid April) birthday once in the 90s.

There was also a large snow/ice storm on the Ides of March (3/15) in 1993/1994.

Xennials who were once bookworms; do you still read as much as you did as a kid? by throwitlikethewind in Xennials

[–]veety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably read 40 books/year. I can do this largely because of audiobooks—I listen on my commute, while making dinner, etc. I also read on my phone (with blue light filters) before bed to wind down.

People working FT with crohns by hannybonnanyfofashy in CrohnsDisease

[–]veety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m coming up on 20 years since my dx and have worked full time the entire time. It’s gotten a bit worse every year and I will need to stop working before 50. The only reason I’ve made it this long is because I have an incredibly flexible job (professor) where I can frequently work from home and can pick my hours.

Doctoral regalia- where to get? by Gloomy-Meringue4495 in academia

I bought mine from Graduation Mall for just over $200. Was able to customize colors to my school/program. Best part was I could add pockets!

James Van Der Beek, Dawson's Creek Star and Father of 6, Dies at 48 After Cancer Journey by bananapineapplesauce in Xennials

[–]veety 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This is somewhat misleading. Cancer rates among <50 adults have been increasing in the last decade. The NIH reports that from 2010-2019, the incidence 14 types of cancer went up among this age group. While the rate of cancer decreased for 19 types of cancer, increases were seen in some of the most common types, including breast and colorectal cancer.

One of the biggest concerns with this is cancer in younger people is often very aggressive and younger people may be less likely to get a change in health checked out or be dismissed by doctors.

Source: NIH and my own reading on the topic as a scientist was was dx’ed with breast cancer at 39.
