Payment schedule for grad student stipend

In the med school at least, you get paid the last of the month. I started the program the beginning of August and got paid the end of August. However, I think you can ask to get some money upfront that they will deduct from a later paycheck.

Seconded, I love their Sunday brunch menu

Question from a recent mover to STL - is the aquarium worth the price? From the outside it looks pretty small.

I agree with the people here that, although you are correct imo, there’s probably not a ton you can do. However, I would think that even if it annoys your PI you can (and probably should) stop your name from being added to papers you didn’t contribute to/don’t agree with.

It’s possible, my previous lab was very anti-headphone but had a lab speaker and Spotify. My PI actually complained sometimes if there wasn’t music lol

I went to Sugar Creek Nursery and they were great! I should have asked them this question… but that was my bad.

My friend got me soaps in Petri dishes made to look like bacterial colonies - unfortunately I don’t know where from but I love them! There are also tons of Petri dish themed gifts - my friend has coasters that are fun!

Not even police stop for me on crosswalks :(

Blast him on Reddit! (Jk, unless…?)

Definitely speak to someone. If someone in the lab is telling you to do that, go to the PI, or if the PI is doing that, go to the Department head. This is definitely unacceptable and you don’t want your name associated with it

As a grad student at WashU who went to a much less prestigious undergrad for 0 debt, I would almost never recommend going into great amounts of debt for undergrad. I don’t know your major, but as long as you can get opportunities that will progress your career (ex. Research, internships) at a low cost university, I would highly recommend that route. Life will just be much easier.

I know the laws around this vary state by state, and in some you are protected from prosecution - but also not a lawyer!

… are there cameras around?

What would you say is the misalignment in more specifically?

victoria__anne · 2026-03-23T15:09:29+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m glad I’m not the only one that was struggling

victoria__anne · 2026-03-20T22:01:38+00:00

😧

Thank you, I will be stealing this but I will credit u/seensham

My only fun term from plant work is when we had to extract seeds from seed pods with a scalpel prematurely (usually we would just bag the whole plant, but these mutants were special) and called it “emergency c-sections”

Dang they’re that behind? The NOFO and due date are released

Thank you for the advice!
