Infinity Counter 🟦<p>I'm also seeing reports that Morningside Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at UMass has rescinded ALL offers of admission for Fall 2025.

Giz<p>GRIPE: I'm in a group project with someone and every time someone reads through the work and says "it looks good, let's submit it" they change it and now we all have to look it over again and I hate it.

Stephanie<p>It was hot today—almost 37 degrees! Definitely felt it while out and about. Had lunch at one of my favorite spots, then checked out some op shops for a handbag, but they were all too small.</p><p>Had to make a vet appointment for Meesa’s vaccinations next week and double-check her microchip since one of the companies storing that data shut down. Thankfully, we’re not affected.</p><p>Also looked over some of my uni course material in preparation for next week when it officially starts.

Chris Geoghooligan<p>I was sick for 4-5 days starting 2 weeks ago and let me tell you, there is no less opportune time to get sick during a semester than during the first few weeks.

Still Mad About CD Prices<p>This anecdote is not necessarily helpful.</p><p>On clinical internship about 20 years ago my fellow interns were sharing stories of faculty members in grad school with whom they had formed good, sometimes lasting relationships. Mentors, surrogate parent figures, damn near spiritual advisors, in some cases.</p><p>It became clear that we were going in order, around the circle (8 people). Before long, they were all looking at me. They knew I was in Ohio State's clinical psych PhD program, definitely an R1 (research-focused, research-funded) program.</p><p>My colleague J-- looked at me and asked, "What about you?"</p><p>I stammered a moment, then said something like, "I honestly can't remember any experiences like that." </p><p>Then S-- said, "It's challenging to form meaningful relationships with autistic people."</p><p>S-- meant this as a joke (he is/was a vicious, witty jokester), but I swear I had a personal paradigm shift about my entire grad school experience at that point.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/story" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>story</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/stereotypes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stereotypes</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/gradschool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gradschool</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/funnybutnot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>funnybutnot</span></a></p>
