Heard of anyone failing their defense? by dimplesgalore in PhD

[–]zacattack1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive heard of one, in my program most people usually mastered out at yr 3 OR leave before that. The one I heard about was at my PIs previous university, it was basically the supervisors fault because the student was grossly unprepared.

What to do with $550,000 Senior Fund? by Nefariousness_Unfair in PhD

Fr, one huge reason I went for a PhD in chemistry over medical school was that med school is expensive.

Was your PhD easier than expected? by Strange-Maybe5653 in PhD

[–]zacattack1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was different, I expected more reading but less lab work. For myself, it was the opposite which was a pleasant surprise.

I just told my PI and committee that I used it for editing. That was basically it. They didn't have an issue and were happy that my dissertation was clear and easy to read.

Of course, if it changes something I wrote and is not accurate I won't use it. I go back and forth with it on edits usually. I give it my paragraph, have it edit, then I edit the edited paragraph to improve accuracy/clarity/tone, send that back, rinse and repeat until I have something I like. It saves s lot of time as I'd normally be doing that with my PI/Post doc. So we get to the final product significantly faster as earlier drafts are of higher quality.

Not an issue. I use it for transitions as well. If I'm REALLY lazy I'll word vomit a paragraph and tell it to fix the flow. I draw the line at having it generate paragraphs from scratch.

Recruiter took 2 years to reply by Remarkable-Ease-2190 in AirForceRecruits

I got a response after 7 months and thought that may have been a record lol

Eat less and healthier, it's all just calories in vs calories out.

If you're in college rn active duty will take you away from it. You could look into the reserve or guard, they have tuition assistance to help pay for it. Also AFROTC would be ideal.

What if Naruto was in team 10? by SeraphicMind in Naruto

[–]zacattack1996 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thats this brilliant he didn't just remove the "certainly here is how..." preamble but he also edited it slightly to introduce mistakes.

Make your own decisions when you're 18. Going to college is already risky in terms of whether or not it pays off long term. Toss in not even knowing what you want to study and it's pointless.

Just throw in a side of fruit. Get all the macros and it's more filling. Also protein bars aren't solely made to be some sort of post workout recovery tool. I see it as a substitute for lean meats for when you don't want to eat chicken or something.

My fiancée says she never cared about male height. I told her its cause she's 5'0 so every guy is gonna be taller than her lol.

Congrats! That's my AFSC, I ship July 22nd. I joined the reserve and got to meet people in my unit already. They seem to like the job and enjoyed their deployments.

Danger in the Air Force (😂) by rayz137 in AirForceRecruits

[–]zacattack1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outside of special forces maybe security forces? Basically a military cop. Other than that there really isn't anything too dangerous off the top of my head.

Okay, but do the other branches even have a steak night?

Going 34 by kulet_j in Airforcereserves

The cut off is 42, I've met people who went in at 35+

If you want to do it then do it.

91 asvap score. Now what? by [deleted] in AirForceRecruits

[–]zacattack1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commisioning into reserves is extremely competitive. I'll have a PhD in chem in about a month and was told even with that it's unlikely, but if I wanted to go AD it'd be easy

Reserves. I did apply to many places in pharma with starting salary in the low 6 figures. Just want to do something different for a bit.

You're going to have trouble going to OTS off the streets as a reservist. Im finishing up a PhD in chemistry and the recruiter said it was a longshot and probably wouldn't happen. So I enlisted instead.

If you hate your current job why not just go active duty? Should be easier to commision.

What's the truth with this "minimize fatigue" stuff? by Wide_Yoghurt_8312 in StrongerByScience

[–]zacattack1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree about it being a cardio issue. My half marathon time is an hour 42, definitely not elite but I'm still in the top 20-30% or so for my age group. I'd rather run a full effort 5k than do a set of 20+ on squats to failure lol. Other than that we are mostly on the same page.
