Class of 2013!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Good evening guys!! I am kind of en joying classes and even considering taking more than the bare minimum. how is everyone's semester starting off?

ar, who is that little bundle of cuteness in your avatar?

I love chihuahua's and this was the cutest I found online... I wish I could get one but I know that I will nto be able to take care of a dog during med school, but my bf and I are thinking about getting a cat since they are easier to take care of.

oh here's a picture of my dogs. Aren't they cute?

Aww... adorable!
 
I need somebody's help! Chad made me the most awesome animated avatar to ever exist. Ever. But it's too big!! 🙁 How do I compress it?
 
I am tired and lazy but I need to get up and go workout! Ok, in 15 min I will go. How is everybody doing?
 
Avatar crisis averted.. Check it out! A linguistics gnome!! 😍

Also, glad to hear you're feeling (a little) better olemiss!
 
thanks everyone. I even managed to do a little yoga tonight. just some good stretches and deep breathing, nothing that would make me cough. makes me happy to be able to do something.
 
OK, I am now accepting votes for 'the most annoying journal'.

My vote for today: PNAS. The journal is structured all backwards with the materials and methods near the end (as if materials and methods were 'no big deal'). A pretty large number of the submissions (maybe 80% or so) are crap or near-crap -- poorly thought up or executed or explained -- because they are only 'sort-of peer reviewed'. And by 'sort-of peer-reviewed', I mean you can probably get your buddy from grad school to read over your submission and say 'yup, looks good to me.'

/rant.

:hello:everyone. First time using that smiley. 😀

I always thought PNAS was a solid journal? No Nature of course but still. Also, methods can get really, really technical. I am much more interested in results/conclusions.

Maybe I'm just really unlucky in the articles I get or something...😳
 
It would be 98.2374% yes...😀
Same here, that is if it lives up to my expectations and provided I dont get a scholarship someplace else (which I am not expecting)

Gotta get an interview first...I mailed off a LOI today, I guess it should get there friday or saturday.
 
Hey Everyone, I missed you all.

I got waitlisted today at my second choice school 🙁
(number one hasn't given me my post-interview decision yet)

See, they are telling you that you do not need them... Your Number 1 choice will accept you. Good luck!:luck:

Oh... don't count on it living up to your expectations... they do absolutely NOTHING to sell themselves, but it is not like they have to...

It would be awesome if both of us would be there next year, cuz by the looks of it, none of us are going to the same schools🙁
