2021/03/16 | 2,021 | 8,762 | <issue_start>username_0: I’d just like to know your opinion on this issue (whether you think it is ethical or not).
The point is, for three years, I was a straight A-student. But towards the final year, I simply started to burn out, but then I didn’t know how to handle the situation and my mental and physical health d... |

Is it OK... |
2021/03/17 | 993 | 4,063 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm writing a paper. It has a lot of lemmas that are used to prove a theorem. I put those lemmas first and then my put theorem at the end.
In the lemmas, I introduce assumptions (they're displayed equations that I label so I can recall them later) that are needed to prove the lemma.
Then at t... |
2021/03/17 | 862 | 3,785 | <issue_start>username_0: I left a PhD program in statistics last August after nearly four years in the program.

2021/03/17 | 1,511 | 6,384 | <issue_start>username_0: I have recently got into a weird situation, that I didn't think I would be in. First of all, I had applied for a paid research internship abroad (at a foreign university) some time ago. Due to covid restrictions, that has been converted into a remote/virtual intership. I have accepted their off... |

2021/03/19 | 1,931 | 8,371 | <issue_start>username_0: Are undergraduate research positions typically funded? If yes, why so - given that undergraduates do not have a lot to offer in terms of research outcomes? Also, which type of research positions are funded?
I ask this because, one wouldn't expect mathematics research opportunities (other than ... |
2021/03/19 | 2,074 | 8,847 | <issue_start>username_0: Long story short I just had two exams - one after the other.
