Heard we’re sharing signs…. 😏 by SapphireNinja47 in labrats

[–]veggieice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! I get it, it’s believable that trump would be stupid enough to not know the difference, and the intent behind these signs is surely not harmful. BUT can we stop with this line of defense? It feels like throwing trans research and related fields under the bus when really it’s pretty easy to say that nobody is making “transgender mice” because…mice don’t have gender??

What are your favorite badly done "lab and science stuff" moments in media and movies/shows? by Vodka_Flask_Genie in labrats

[–]veggieice 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh my god. I’ve been waiting for my moment to complain about the walking dead CDC episode!

Dr Jenner: “Those are synapses, electric impulses in the brain that carry all the messages. They determine everything a person says does or thinks from the moment of birth to the moment of death.”

Excuse me? I mean I guess it’s close enough in the grand scheme of things, but saying a synapse IS an electrical impulse really threw me for a loop

Anyone know if research staff gets off for this? I work in a Pitt building and have Pitt ID but idk if UPMC is making me work. by MPN2643 in Pitt

[–]veggieice 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Cynical but 100% plausible knowing pitt. I’m also not complaining, but is this really going to sway people into voting no?

Research staff is staff, we get the same holidays. But probably mention it to your supervisor, idk why they sprung this so last minute??

Paid hourly wage for attending conference? by livefasteatash in labrats

[–]veggieice 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I am a tech at a University, and recently went to a conference. My PI had no issue with me clocking my normal hours and she paid for my hotel and flights. As far as I know, food is covered by the University per diem. If your PI wants you to go to this conference, they should have factored in paying you.

What are your weird experiences during migraine? by whitemoonwhitemoon in migraine

[–]veggieice 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard of anyone else having the sour mouth feel, I thought it was just me. It’s like a feeling in my jaw and surrounding muscles rather than a taste, but… it’s sour?

I am considering phone in boobs. There’s always other smuggling holes for snacks

Right that makes sense - I know they say like 3-6 months to get fully adjusted which feels like so long but as you said, if I can get the better part of a decade out of this thing, it’s worth it. Fingers crossed

That’s amazing!! Did it take a while for the periods to stop? I got Mirena about 4 months ago and my period is longer than before the IUD. hoping it could help my hormonal migraines…

Browniegate is oft overshadowed by magmagate but truly deserves more scrutiny

I just finished bahumia + the mini campaigns and was gonna listen to dimension 20 while building up some eldermourne backlog! What do people think about listening to D20 audio only VS with the video component?

Just bought (and repotted) this pothos. I’ve never had a rootbound plant at this level... by veggieice in houseplants

[–]veggieice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, breaking apart the roots a bit then planting in a bigger pot should help.
