How can I go about revealing bad news... Hello all, I will try and make this short. I got accepted to a Ph.D program a few months ago. I worked hard for it and it is what my heart desired. However when I got to the actual program, enrolled, started getting situated, etc. I realized the program (possibly the school) was not for me. I did not see myself being happy there for four years. It was very disappointing and saddening to come to this realization. All in all I came to the logical decision that it was not worth pursuing and decide to resign. I have not given up on my desire to pursue further education. Yes, this is a set back but I am working my way up once again. Anyways.. after all this mess, the thing that is stressing me out the most is contacting my undergraduate advisors/mentors and telling them the disappointing news. I had a great professional relationship with both my advisors. Therefore, I know for a fact that they will be disappointed to hear this news. They were extremely excited and happy when I got accepted. But most importantly they helped me in so many ways that I will never forget. They obviously had a huge impact on my professional development and I just can't find it in me to disappoint them. I don't want them to feel as if they wasted their time, because they did not. Any words of wisdom? Advice? Anything will be appreciated. | 81aa97999b64058acfc72312af3edf6b4f5435091cc39c9a80fe17845afca7f4 | [

First PI grant accepted! I just found out today that a huge project I'm PI on got picked up - I officially have a grant history! It's a gigantic "win" for my institute, with a 5-year funding opportunity that covers half of my salary the entire time. We're all soft-money here, so having 50% of my salary locked-in for the next 5 years is more security than I've had since I started the money-game. It comes with all of the "oh my God now I have to do all of this stuff I promised" feelings, but I'm incredibly excited to do this work. It's more modeling/theoretical work than the operational work I'm usually doing here, which makes me happy. Score! But it comes right on the heels of some pretty bad news in my family - my brother just lost his job in an ugly way, not six months after he and his wife bought a house. They're terrified that they won't be able to keep the place. So I can't exactly parade my success around them at the moment, other than to let them know that they can rely on my for financial support through the down-time. So I came here to celebrate instead! Who has two thumbs and a 5-year grant: this guy! Booya! | a62d4ec16a685b7682985f7083c88dafd925ff586a331586e9246abf47bbed50 | [

Need advice on how to proceed with a terrible lab situation. Probably quitting Ph.D. Throwaway account. I am currently about a year into a lab and already thinking about quitting. I joined this lab due to its quickly growing publication record, but found out too late that all of the pubs were from a ambitious postdoc that left. The PI, however, was more than happy to take the lion's share of the credit and state that he came up with the ideas although he does not understand how the data was gathered, analyzed, nor can he perform, train, or judge quality for any student in the techniques used by the previous postdoc. I began to have problems in the lab when I found I could not replicate any of my former post doc's data. Going back into the computer, I found that the data had been skewed heavily in favor of his hypotheses including misrepresentation of numbers, tossing out animals that did not fit his hypothesis (sometimes half of his population), and inconsistent selection of artifacts that would make our negative control groups look worse, but exclusion of artifacts in our treatment group that would correspondingly make them look better. He also used a predictive tool on a machine that no one has used in literature, which I cannot replicate nor find any correlation to a disease state. I contacted the manufacturer of the machine and they stated that this technique could not be performed with their machine and was not validated. Unfortunately my PI has no experience whatsoever with any of these techniques and simply believes me to be incompetent. He even called the former postdoc over and they had a long discussion stating how my immaturity and inability to produce significant data with low variance was not very promising. When I took my PI to see the raw data so that he could analyze it himself, he simply turned to the postdoc and asked him how it was analyzed. The whole point is moot however as I called in a specialist from a biotech company and a doctor from a nearby hospital with tremendous expertise in this technique and they found that not only was the postdoc calculating the data incorrectly, but he had the software set up so that it looked at only two data points instead of an average over a 5 minute period. This essentially invalidated all the data collected for the past few years. The PI, when told, either did not understand the ramifications of this or did not care, only telling the lab to perform further analysis the new way. To exacerbate things, this PI is trying to gain tenure and is running low on funding so the atmosphere in the lab is becoming increasing tyrannical. The former postdoc never presented bad news and always gave him significant, publishable data so he is completely spoiled by a flow of good news. When experiments fail, he can offer absolutely no advice as he has no expertise in any of our techniques and simply tells us to run the same thing over and over again hoping for a different result while growing increasingly unhinged. For example, a Western Blot done by two separate students was shown with equally perfect control GAPDH bands in each lane, but the protein of interest was not upregulated and downregulated in the fashion he expected. The PI basically berated them, telling them to run it again with (no change in procedure) until it showed what he wanted. I am currently only a year invested into this lab so leaving or switching labs would not be a huge loss. I just don't really know how to go about this without a good reason. I don't really want to report the lab to the ethics committee because I believe it would give me a bad reputation in my university (although I have backups of all the data produced by our lab). My main issue is that I feel this lab is a dead-end. It will run out of funding soon, the grants are incredibly pathetic because the PI has no idea what he is talking about and actually hates mechanistic studies because they are "too complicated". I feel that most people in the lab are mistreated and unhappy, and I am personally miserable because I am making no progress, receiving no training, and being berated on top of that. Any advice is appreciated. | 23edb8a3f84daa362923f46d09b491ad6ff61ba2689052ecda54b17339d56b25 | [

He also used a predictive tool on a machine that no one has used in literature, which I cannot replicate nor find any correlation to a disease state. I contacted the manufacturer of the machine and they stated that this technique could not be performed with their machine and was not validated. Unfortunately my PI has no experience whatsoever with any of these techniques and simply believes me to be incompetent. He even called the former postdoc over and they had a long discussion stating how my immaturity and inability to produce significant data with low variance was not very promising. When I took my PI to see the raw data so that he could analyze it himself, he simply turned to the postdoc and asked him how it was analyzed. The whole point is moot however as I called in a specialist from a biotech company and a doctor from a nearby hospital with tremendous expertise in this technique and they found that not only was the postdoc calculating the data incorrectly, but he had the software set up so that it looked at only two data points instead of an average over a 5 minute period. This essentially invalidated all the data collected for the past few years. The PI, when told, either did not understand the ramifications of this or did not care, only telling the lab to perform further analysis the new way. To exacerbate things, this PI is trying to gain tenure and is running low on funding so the atmosphere in the lab is becoming increasing tyrannical. The former postdoc never presented bad news and always gave him significant, publishable data so he is completely spoiled by a flow of good news. When experiments fail, he can offer absolutely no advice as he has no expertise in any of our techniques and simply tells us to run the same thing over and over again hoping for a different result while growing increasingly unhinged. For example, a Western Blot done by two separate students was shown with equally perfect control GAPDH bands in each lane, but the protein of interest was not upregulated and downregulated in the fashion he expected. The PI basically berated them, telling them to run it again with (no change in procedure) until it showed what he wanted. I am currently only a year invested into this lab so leaving or switching labs would not be a huge loss. I just don't really know how to go about this without a good reason. I don't really want to report the lab to the ethics committee because I believe it would give me a bad reputation in my university (although I have backups of all the data produced by our lab). My main issue is that I feel this lab is a dead-end. It will run out of funding soon, the grants are incredibly pathetic because the PI has no idea what he is talking about and actually hates mechanistic studies because they are "too complicated". I feel that most people in the lab are mistreated and unhappy, and I am personally miserable because I am making no progress, receiving no training, and being berated on top of that. Any advice is appreciated. | 23edb8a3f84daa362923f46d09b491ad6ff61ba2689052ecda54b17339d56b25 | [

When experiments fail, he can offer absolutely no advice as he has no expertise in any of our techniques and simply tells us to run the same thing over and over again hoping for a different result while growing increasingly unhinged. For example, a Western Blot done by two separate students was shown with equally perfect control GAPDH bands in each lane, but the protein of interest was not upregulated and downregulated in the fashion he expected. The PI basically berated them, telling them to run it again with (no change in procedure) until it showed what he wanted. I am currently only a year invested into this lab so leaving or switching labs would not be a huge loss. I just don't really know how to go about this without a good reason. I don't really want to report the lab to the ethics committee because I believe it would give me a bad reputation in my university (although I have backups of all the data produced by our lab). My main issue is that I feel this lab is a dead-end. It will run out of funding soon, the grants are incredibly pathetic because the PI has no idea what he is talking about and actually hates mechanistic studies because they are "too complicated". I feel that most people in the lab are mistreated and unhappy, and I am personally miserable because I am making no progress, receiving no training, and being berated on top of that. Any advice is appreciated. | 23edb8a3f84daa362923f46d09b491ad6ff61ba2689052ecda54b17339d56b25 | [

Need advice on how to proceed with a terrible lab situation. Probably quitting Ph.D. Throwaway account. I am currently about a year into a lab and already thinking about quitting. I joined this lab due to its quickly growing publication record, but found out too late that all of the pubs were from a ambitious postdoc that left. The PI, however, was more than happy to take the lion's share of the credit and state that he came up with the ideas although he does not understand how the data was gathered, analyzed, nor can he perform, train, or judge quality for any student in the techniques used by the previous postdoc. I began to have problems in the lab when I found I could not replicate any of my former post doc's data. Going back into the computer, I found that the data had been skewed heavily in favor of his hypotheses including misrepresentation of numbers, tossing out animals that did not fit his hypothesis (sometimes half of his population), and inconsistent selection of artifacts that would make our negative control groups look worse, but exclusion of artifacts in our treatment group that would correspondingly make them look better. He also used a predictive tool on a machine that no one has used in literature, which I cannot replicate nor find any correlation to a disease state. I contacted the manufacturer of the machine and they stated that this technique could not be performed with their machine and was not validated. Unfortunately my PI has no experience whatsoever with any of these techniques and simply believes me to be incompetent. He even called the former postdoc over and they had a long discussion stating how my immaturity and inability to produce significant data with low variance was not very promising. When I took my PI to see the raw data so that he could analyze it himself, he simply turned to the postdoc and asked him how it was analyzed. The whole point is moot however as I called in a specialist from a biotech company and a doctor from a nearby hospital with tremendous expertise in this technique and they found that not only was the postdoc calculating the data incorrectly, but he had the software set up so that it looked at only two data points instead of an average over a 5 minute period. This essentially invalidated all the data collected for the past few years. The PI, when told, either did not understand the ramifications of this or did not care, only telling the lab to perform further analysis the new way.

Need advice on how to proceed with a terrible lab situation. Probably quitting Ph.D. Throwaway account. I am currently about a year into a lab and already thinking about quitting. I joined this lab due to its quickly growing publication record, but found out too late that all of the pubs were from a ambitious postdoc that left. The PI, however, was more than happy to take the lion's share of the credit and state that he came up with the ideas although he does not understand how the data was gathered, analyzed, nor can he perform, train, or judge quality for any student in the techniques used by the previous postdoc. I began to have problems in the lab when I found I could not replicate any of my former post doc's data. Going back into the computer, I found that the data had been skewed heavily in favor of his hypotheses including misrepresentation of numbers, tossing out animals that did not fit his hypothesis (sometimes half of his population), and inconsistent selection of artifacts that would make our negative control groups look worse, but exclusion of artifacts in our treatment group that would correspondingly make them look better. He also used a predictive tool on a machine that no one has used in literature, which I cannot replicate nor find any correlation to a disease state. I contacted the manufacturer of the machine and they stated that this technique could not be performed with their machine and was not validated. Unfortunately my PI has no experience whatsoever with any of these techniques and simply believes me to be incompetent. He even called the former postdoc over and they had a long discussion stating how my immaturity and inability to produce significant data with low variance was not very promising. When I took my PI to see the raw data so that he could analyze it himself, he simply turned to the postdoc and asked him how it was analyzed. The whole point is moot however as I called in a specialist from a biotech company and a doctor from a nearby hospital with tremendous expertise in this technique and they found that not only was the postdoc calculating the data incorrectly, but he had the software set up so that it looked at only two data points instead of an average over a 5 minute period. This essentially invalidated all the data collected for the past few years. The PI, when told, either did not understand the ramifications of this or did not care, only telling the lab to perform further analysis the new way. To exacerbate things, this PI is trying to gain tenure and is running low on funding so the atmosphere in the lab is becoming increasing tyrannical. The former postdoc never presented bad news and always gave him significant, publishable data so he is completely spoiled by a flow of good news. When experiments fail, he can offer absolutely no advice as he has no expertise in any of our techniques and simply tells us to run the same thing over and over again hoping for a different result while growing increasingly unhinged. For example, a Western Blot done by two separate students was shown with equally perfect control GAPDH bands in each lane, but the protein of interest was not upregulated and downregulated in the fashion he expected. The PI basically berated them, telling them to run it again with (no change in procedure) until it showed what he wanted. I am currently only a year invested into this lab so leaving or switching labs would not be a huge loss. I just don't really know how to go about this without a good reason. I don't really want to report the lab to the ethics committee because I believe it would give me a bad reputation in my university (although I have backups of all the data produced by our lab). My main issue is that I feel this lab is a dead-end. It will run out of funding soon, the grants are incredibly pathetic because the PI has no idea what he is talking about and actually hates mechanistic studies because they are "too complicated". I feel that most people in the lab are mistreated and unhappy, and I am personally miserable because I am making no progress, receiving no training, and being berated on top of that. Any advice is appreciated. | 23edb8a3f84daa362923f46d09b491ad6ff61ba2689052ecda54b17339d56b25 | [

Impact of grad school gossip? Throwaway here for obvious reasons. I completed a master's program last year, and although I was accepted into the same school's doctoral program, I chose to defer my offer for a year so that I could apply for more funding and work to save up since PhDs are such expensive propositions. Many of the people in my master's cohort were also accepted into the same doctoral program and are currently finishing up their first year in said program. One of these people is a friend of mine and we recently had an opportunity to catch up with one another. What she told me, however, has left me both worried and upset. It appears as if I have been the subject of some pretty malicious gossip among the members of my former cohort. I don't know how long the rumors have been going around since my friend claims to have been made aware of them only recently but I have a feeling that they've been circulating for some time now for reasons outlined below. The rumors themselves are not particularly imaginative but I feel like they can be extremely damaging to my future prospects nonetheless. Basically, there's this floating suggestion that I had an inappropriate relationship with one of my co-advisers last year and that this had some bearing on the fact that I graduated from the program with a distinction. In reality, my co-adviser and I were friendly with each other (I really liked him as a person but there was absolutely no romantic or sexual intent there and nothing inappropriate ever happened - i.e., all meetings occurred either in the presence of my other co-adviser, in the faculty/grad student common room, or in his office with the door propped open) and I worked my ass off to earn the grade that I received. However, the reason I think these rumors have been flying for some time is because this former adviser of mine became abruptly distant, formal, and extremely...succinct in our email correspondence around Christmas. I feel like I should point out here that we didn't have an extensive email correspondence of any kind - mostly, I was emailing him to ask if he'd provide a reference for some of the adjunct jobs for which I was applying and then sending him all the pertinent paperwork and information when he agreed. And now, all communication between us has completely ceased. When his manner changed in the way that it did, I just assumed that he was busy and didn't want to pester him and the last email I sent him was a brief note of thanks for his reference when I got one of the jobs for which I'd applied. For his part, I can only assume he's been made uncomfortable given his complete refusal to contact me at all. Case in point: he has a current master's student whose research is related to my own and he told her to look up my dissertation from last year. The dissertation is currently embargoed because it's in press and he knows this but he told her to contact me anyway...except he didn't tell her that he had co-advised me last year and sent her to my other co-adviser instead to ask for my contact information...even though he has all of that information himself. To be clear, I don't think he's upset with me or anything like that but I imagine he's being extremely careful now and having any contact with me at all might be seen to prove the gossip? But now I don't even know if I want to go back to this institution in September. My other master's co-adviser would be my PhD adviser should I go back and we are in fairly regular contact to discuss the progression of my ideas. The fact that he's never once mentioned any of this to me means that he either is not aware of the gossip or considers it too ridiculous to even pay any attention to. Yet, I can't help but be worried. I was denied funding by this school for a second time this past application round, and while I acknowledge that my research proposal just might not have thrilled anyone on the funding committee, now I can't stop wondering if all of this might not have had an influence (even subconsciously) on that decision. I keep thinking of it as a subtle "Well, we can't withdraw our offer to you because there are no real grounds to do so but we're not going to fund you in the hopes that you'll go somewhere else since you're bad news." So I guess, that was a really long and rambling introduction to my basic question: how much impact does this kind of gossip have on these kinds of decisions? Am I basically screwed? Is this something that is going to haunt me for the rest of my career, even if I end up going to a different school for my PhD? Should I *go* to a different school? I'm so indignant about the whole thing and part of me wants to attend just to spite whoever started the rumors in the first place and to demonstrate how little truth there is to what's been said...but the practical side of my brain points out that I could very well be made absolutely miserable for the next several years if I go that route and it's not worth the stress. Ugh, I'm sorry. I'm a bit all over the place right now and could really just use some outside perspective and/or advice. **TL;DR** Recently found out that some former colleagues are accusing me of sleeping with one of my advisers last year. He's now acting weird and I feel like I can't go back to this school to finish my PhD. Thoughts? | 58da8f87fc8cb1e77b8e31067e5e71d72aac07f565c6e052a427409bd8ae7619 | [

Dealing with media requests as an introvert. Advice!! I'm a (casual) early career researcher and writer in the humanities in Australia, with a PhD, and every so often I get media requests for interviews primarily on the radio (occasionally TV). I've also recently been asked to talk live on an American news show, which I've accepted. However, I absolutely DREAD interviews, especially live, and especially TV. I'm fine with lectures, and I love writing, researching and publishing, but it often leads to these interviews, and they completely terrify me, even though I've been told I'm a good interviewee. I find it emotionally exhausting in the lead up and at the time of the interview, having to think of responses so I don't look like an idiot, and having to play the role of sociable, knowledgeable expert when I'm really quite introverted and shy in reality. I have no problem responding to written questions, because obviously I'm given the chance to think about my answers rather than come up with them on the spot. I know it's good for my career, especially as I'm looking for a full time position, and I do want my work to have an audience, but I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on how to deal with media requests for writers who hate publicity, and how bad it would be to turn down the occasional interview. It makes me wonder how famously reclusive people like Thomas Pynchon have built their careers without having to submit to publicity. | f1b00df41ee36c120fb1724f05bdaab65e95c8f9b864ae0961b41b8ea07ba00a | [

If you had a kid in grad school, what was it like? I am a female entering my second year of a life sciences PhD and I want to have a biological child. Anybody who has gone through this, can you share what it was like? How you feel it affected your PhD/relationships/career? What you wish you would have known or done, or what you're glad you knew or did? How the timing of kid(s) corresponded with and affected your PhD? Anything else that I'm not even thinking to ask? Thank you in advance!! | e2bda9a313c64a7e1b545cbe40648caac94e85f0aca3e8f0f7b7dada412acb38 | [

Trying to reproduce published results should be one of the cornerstones of modern science, however few researchers find time or funding to do so. How could the system be improved? The current system does not fund sufficiently people who want to reproduce a published result. It is basically impossible to spend time checking the results of your colleagues if you want to keep your research career moving forward. Competition for funding features modern science and few people will read or cite papers that merely confirm another group's result. However this is very necessary for the prestige of the scientific community and it would dramatically improve the way funds are used and therefore the long term outcomes. Could we have a way to fund this kind of activity? Make it career worthwhile? Maybe establish new journals and funding bodies with this strategy? Any ideas? | 43a880bb29c961e3d1d3c2898072c7186b3fd66d8b49a8f5af6bab6d46cd6971 | [

Has anyone been written up by their PI and somehow managed to stay in the program? I don’t know how it is in other universities but in my university - if your supervisor does not want to supervise you anymore he has to go through a formal procedure whereby he would remove himself as the supervisor of a student. This procedure involves him proving 3x that you were not a good student by giving you some very specific tasks that have to be completed within a month. He has officially given me 3 options: 1) to leave my PhD program , 2) transfer to a masters or 3) continue my PhD program but he made it explicitly clear that he does not want me to. The only reason 3) is on the table is because I’m satisfying the program requirements. But he has also started the process of removing himself as my supervisor. If he removes himself as my supervisor they will mark my transcript as expelled and I’ll no longer be allowed to go to any other university. I actually don’t know whether the options are real options or not, it feels like he’s given me those because that’s what the ‘rules’ are but all his tasks are very arbitrary and if he wants to he can definitely say I haven’t done the tasks I had been given. Has anyone seen a student redeem themselves in such a situation? | dace11b6f5f3323a35f8c9e62e1571b97d828d28a5fcdc24e2162779214bf738 | [

Thinking of dropping out of my PhD program for financial reasons As the title says, I’m seriously considering dropping out of my PhD program because I can’t afford to be in it. I have a bachelors degree and a masters degree already and part of me feels like that’s enough. I just finished my first semester of a PhD program in applied behavior analysis, and it’s taken a bigger financial toll on me than I expected. I’m on a fellowship, but it’s just enough to cover tuition with about $500 leftover which is not enough to live on. Right now I don’t have a TA or RA position, and getting one depends on me getting a certification that I need fieldwork hours for, but I am not getting a lot of fieldwork hours because I have to work part time. My partner and I could use more income and I feel guilty for not being able to help more. If I were to drop out, I would be able to complete my fieldwork hours much faster, get my certification, and make exponentially more money than I make now. Right now it feels like it’s not worth the financial burden, the burden on my family (they are supplementing my income), and the burden on my relationship. I am also about to lose insurance coverage (I don’t get insurance under my fellowship). It just feels like the pros of dropping out out weigh the cons. I’m passionate about what I’m doing and have made great connections so far, but it feels like it’s not worth it. If anyone else has faced a similar dilemma, I’d really appreciate some advice. Thanks in advance. | 659bbb8ec5251d4dd37d5fac00cb9b0266ab5bd7c48500eef72da851ea8bb909 | [
