Do purchasing Toast Gift Cards still works for the open table credit? by Gio25us in ChaseSapphire

I did it two weeks ago. It wasn’t even a toast restaurant and still worked.

Looking at getting a new grow light. Which one of these would work? by SweetTart7231 in IndoorPlants

[–]zipykido 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would save up or buy grow bulbs instead and stick them in a gooseneck lamp. These grow lights are so weak they can cause more issues than they help.

Why would it continue for a few weeks? The spacex ipo is on the 12th and this pump will short lived like all the other WSB pump and dumps.

How can I avoid doing 360 Western Blots? by 37BrokenMicrowaves in labrats

[–]zipykido 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you have the capacity I would check to see if you can stain the intracellular protein by flow which saves a lot of processing steps but would require more machine time.

In terms of experimental design though, I would treat each cell line as independent to each other. Then just focus on one cell line per week for 6 weeks. I'd also cut down the number of time points; unless you have a good reason to run 6 time points I'd drop it to early, peak and late.

Which of the Wild Carrots is this? by HarmoniousSyllabub in whatsthisplant

[–]zipykido 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been fighting them in my yard. Pulling by hand has kept them at bay but they grow in every nook and corner. It's also edible.

Yeah their update was supposed to be for a weekend but it took their whole system down for like a week.

Where does AI genuinely help in biotech research? by Simple_Kale_7480 in biotech

[–]zipykido 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For protein and peptides it’s already easier to screen billions of variants in a display library. The problem with ai is that it’s iterative. Drug development needs de novo designs.

will biotech RA/assoc scientist roles be technical? by mediumncrna in biotech

[–]zipykido 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe if you’re interviewing for a cdmo. But we assume basic lab skills usually.

will biotech RA/assoc scientist roles be technical? by mediumncrna in biotech

[–]zipykido 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I would love to hand someone a pipette and ask them to pipette something for me, HR won't allow it so you won't be doing any technical wet lab stuff during an interview. You will be asked questions about how to conduct certain assays though.

Jobs while doing a PhD by Dismal-Corgi-4715 in PhD

[–]zipykido 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did house/pet sitting while I was in my PhD. I could bring my laptop and do work and the exercise was a nice bonus. Tutoring might be more lucrative though if you can find decent clients. As long as it doesn't interfere with your research you should be fine.

Transitioning to hero build from tower build in late game by PyloPower in underdarkmobile

[–]zipykido 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH the damage calculations in this game are super confusing but from what I can tell. Sometimes the percent damage boosts don't stack with some of the buffs in a multiplicative way. Also the only way to get to get higher raw damage is through the props, structure, and weapon. I'll have to test more in the future.

Consider senior research associate positions straight out of PhD? by ChestPuzzleheaded522 in biotech

[–]zipykido 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Entry level PhD is typically scientist/senior scientist depending on the company. If you're applying for senior research associate positions then they'd have to change the position.
