The 1951 paper2 describing the Lowry method for quantifying protein remains practically unreachable at number 1, even though many biochemists say that it and the competing Bradford assay3 — described by paper number 3 on the list — are a tad outdated. In between, at number 2, is Laemmli buffer4, which is used in a different kind of protein analysis. The dominance of these techniques is attributable to the high volume of citations in cell and molecular biology, where they remain indispensable tools.",

I would like to become a professor but don't know if the endeavor is worth it for a variety of reasons. What do you think? What are the ways to make yourself stand out? I have a ton of questions regarding becoming a professor. I am wondering just how difficult overall it is. I have heard that it is difficult because there are a lack of jobs and for one position there may be up to 400 applicants. I have heard that only the top students at top schools get these positions. I am not a bad student, I just know I'm not the best. I am 30 years old and looking to go to grad school within the next 2-3 years but don't know how old I can realistically be to apply for professorship. Speculating I will be doing so in my late to early 40's. I live in Canada and have heard there are less opportunities in Canada and therefore competition is that much more tough. I have a stable unionized job that I cannot leave here in Canada. \-- If there is space and time, are there any ways to make yourself stand out as a candidate. Does specializing in a narrow sub field help? | adb69e4d24c01cdf3f903702796bc7a4d1bb81283119a1705852a0e5ed98a753 | [

Doing a PhD can be a stepping stone to several different career paths that will give you lots of the same things being a professor would.",

However, related business fields, like Marketing or Management are much less competitive and in need of new PhDs. Also, those fields pay quite well. Here is Marketing, for example: https://www.ama.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Who-Went-Where-2019.pdf Think a bit more about what you want to research. Also, take a deeper dive into the job market for the fields you are considering. Good luck!",

How common is it to pass a PhD defense with conditions? I passed my defense last week “with conditions”. Are conditions the same as revisions? I have an official list of things to address, it’s much more work than I was hoping to have to do after defending. Honestly I feel pretty downtrodden meanwhile everyone around me keeps congratulating me for “passing”. My advisor has stressed that what I have to do is par for the course but he’s also not super great at interpersonal relationships so I never know how to interpret what he says. I don’t disagree with anything I’m being asked to do necessarily. I’m just a bit overwhelmed. Plus I’ve already started a full time (non academic) job. | e7f56c75303a21782efd5cb234a85c47075fb97ae591d207f9b04dbf37bd41fe | [

"content": "Normal. Fix what you think is legitimate and efficient to fix, and clue your advisor in on your thought process. If you're starting a full-time job, you won't want to spend a ton of time redoing analysis I imagine. For my MS, one of the revisions requested (by a committee member) would have involved re-working the entire analysis (much of which was built over time and not easily back-filled). That's not to say it couldn't be done....it just wasn't really all that necessary for the amount of work it would require. It was more of an additional step that would make my research a bit stronger for later publication in a major econ journal on its own merit. So I straight up told my major professor that I didn't have time for it, stressing that I would do the other things. He was totally understanding, tho I suspect also relieved because he had other things to attend to. Of course, later when we did publish (and now, when we're publishing again), taking the time to go back through the whole thing to really streamline the analysis back then would have been really helpful. But I have much more energy and patience to do it now. In summary: you've passed. Now all that's left to do is figure out how to submit the dang thing so that everyone involved is reasonably satisfied. I'd figure out what you feel up to doing and create a plan of attack, including what revisions you won't do with justification, before sharing it with your major professor. Edit: whether or not you call yourself a Dr now is really a social thing. If people in your department/area do that after a defense, but before the official conferring of a degree, you're g2g. My impression has always been that while its ok to say you passed, it's a bit of a faux pas to call yourself a Doctor until you actually have the degree conferred (realistically, this would be whenever your dissertation is accepted by the grad school or whoever after revisions).",

How common is it to pass a PhD defense with conditions? I passed my defense last week “with conditions”. Are conditions the same as revisions? I have an official list of things to address, it’s much more work than I was hoping to have to do after defending. Honestly I feel pretty downtrodden meanwhile everyone around me keeps congratulating me for “passing”. My advisor has stressed that what I have to do is par for the course but he’s also not super great at interpersonal relationships so I never know how to interpret what he says. I don’t disagree with anything I’m being asked to do necessarily. I’m just a bit overwhelmed. Plus I’ve already started a full time (non academic) job. | e7f56c75303a21782efd5cb234a85c47075fb97ae591d207f9b04dbf37bd41fe | [

"content": "I think I had an experience similar to yours. My dept only has pass/pass with revisions/fail. But my committee said I’m not a doctor yet after I passed and they gave me revisions to do. This was confusing because virtually everyone I know goes on fb after their defense and says, “Woo! I’m Dr. Whoever!” But I apparently couldn’t tell people that although I passed with revisions (as is the case with these “fb people”). So I didn’t know what to tell anyone because I didn’t know what I was or where I was. If mine was a conditional pass, no one told me, but we don’t have it. My point is, I think I’m in a similar boat to you. Even though we don’t have “with conditions,” I can only guess I got that informally. It sucks, absolutely, but we are just like the people with revisions: we have a little more to do and then we’re done. Congratulations! You’re all good, you’re great, and it won’t be long until you look back on this and you’ll be too happy to care.",

"content": "I think I had an experience similar to yours. My dept only has pass/pass with revisions/fail. But my committee said I’m not a doctor yet after I passed and they gave me revisions to do. This was confusing because virtually everyone I know goes on fb after their defense and says, “Woo! I’m Dr. Whoever!” But I apparently couldn’t tell people that although I passed with revisions (as is the case with these “fb people”). So I didn’t know what to tell anyone because I didn’t know what I was or where I was. If mine was a conditional pass, no one told me, but we don’t have it. My point is, I think I’m in a similar boat to you. Even though we don’t have “with conditions,” I can only guess I got that informally. It sucks, absolutely, but we are just like the people with revisions: we have a little more to do and then we’re done. Congratulations! You’re all good, you’re great, and it won’t be long until you look back on this and you’ll be too happy to care.",

COVID-19 Effects on University Budgets/Graduate Student Stipends I am a graduate student at a US university in the epicenter of the pandemic. This morning, we received word that our program is likely to lose the funds available for graduate student stipends. This is likely the result of the state reallocating funds towards combatting the virus. This includes previously awarded stipends (i.e., your guaranteed 5 years of funding is no longer guaranteed). No official announcement yet, but it seems as though university administrators are giving us a 'heads up' about this. Obviously, this news has been quite difficult for me and other students in my department. Has this happened to anyone else? Are you anticipating your department/university will do the same? | 3f7e1d91e3fd4dea66a08d772fd31d8e7534ebd434dd9e5b9ff9ba618be23dcd | [

Sometimes poor performers are my favorite students, and in fact I have seen people who struggled (I mean, *really* struggled, as in \"tried very hard to keep up and turn in good work\") go on to do great things once they got adequate support and hit their stride. If you came to me midway through the term and said \"I am failing this course and I want to figure out how I can do better\", and you genuinely meant that, and not \"give me points I didn't earn\", I would do everything in my power to help you to find ways to succeed. The people who refuse to do the work or put in the effort, I also don't dislike. I just kind of wonder why they're blowing so incredibly much money on something they are obviously not at all into. The people I do dislike are the ones who try to bully me into giving them points they didn't earn. I have only had a handful of those, but they were truly terrible people I hope I never encounter again in my professional life. I once had a student who refused to do assignments, take assessments, come to class, OR communicate by email drag me into a meeting with advising where they argued, shouted, and cried for an hour and a half in an attempt to wear me down and let them pass the course by accepting an art project they were working on for a different class as their final.

Professors of Reddit- Do you dislike students who perform poorly? To the Professors of Reddit, I was wondering what the general opinion was of poor performers. Is it dislike? Indifference? If someone who had an F or a D came to office hours in the middle of the semester, would this annoy you? | 135f21262662cd5e480c0916ee24f26497ea02895dd928a322a4f3cc92e4047b | [

"content": "Nah, not dislike. Sometimes poor performers are my favorite students, and in fact I have seen people who struggled (I mean, *really* struggled, as in \"tried very hard to keep up and turn in good work\") go on to do great things once they got adequate support and hit their stride. If you came to me midway through the term and said \"I am failing this course and I want to figure out how I can do better\", and you genuinely meant that, and not \"give me points I didn't earn\", I would do everything in my power to help you to find ways to succeed. The people who refuse to do the work or put in the effort, I also don't dislike. I just kind of wonder why they're blowing so incredibly much money on something they are obviously not at all into. The people I do dislike are the ones who try to bully me into giving them points they didn't earn. I have only had a handful of those, but they were truly terrible people I hope I never encounter again in my professional life. I once had a student who refused to do assignments, take assessments, come to class, OR communicate by email drag me into a meeting with advising where they argued, shouted, and cried for an hour and a half in an attempt to wear me down and let them pass the course by accepting an art project they were working on for a different class as their final. My class was a community health class.",

"content": "No, that would become seriously exhausting. I recognize that the course I am teaching may not be \"your thing.\" What does make me dislike students are: not showing up for repeated scheduled appointments without notice, asking me to change their grade to something they haven't earned (especially when they have missed several assignments and class meetings), students who are repeatedly rude in class (like to other students during discussions,) and tbh, students I catch cheating.",
