Nope! I did, however, go to drink a bunch of grape juice and found out it had mold growing all over it. Unfortunately, this was after I'd drank about three gulps. And I must be out of the loop since I've seen you ask that a few times: personal experience, or line from a comedy?

Aaaaaaand I have scheduled my thesis defense date for my Ph.D, which will be less than two months from now.

I recently started watching One Punch Man due to seeing references to it everywhere, and I have to admit I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I grew up watching Power Rangers and other sentai shows. Most of the manga/anime I've enjoyed have been unabashedly shonen. I'm a huge superhero fan. So it's...

Hard to see from the potato quality picture and angle, but a couple friends and a labmate got me a Jayne hat for Christmas! Now, if you'll excuse me...ahem... Josh...the man they call Josh... His experiments are always less than, p point-oh-five He'll soon have his degree and he's, still...

This. This right here. All you need to know is a sandwich shop in the middle of a college town charges $15+ for a sandwich and they still have a 30+ minute wait during the middle of a Midwestern winter.

Nope, my "favorite" part was the intro. "Hey, remember all that stuff you learned as a first year that everyone in your field takes as gospel? Now you need to exhaustively read everything about it and cite it." My into was 43 pages long, single spaced. As for hooding, not yet. Considering how...

I'd say he's infected with a severe case of the cutes and adorables. :)

Pretty well, actually! The surgeries went well, the lasers went pew pew, and the mice brains were definitively zapped with lasers. I now have several mouse brains sitting in jars (and I know this is going to be quoted against me some point in the future) that are awaiting being sectioned to do...

I'm trying to distract myself from writing my thesis. I'm an animal person. I study your gray thinky thing. Ask me anything!

OUTLAW DIFFERENT COUNTRY WHOOOOOOOOOO!

Learn to program. Specifically, program in Python and Unix so that I can do more biology computin'. Find a job at a company that focuses on Alzheimer's/dementia-related research and start doing my best to punch these illnesses in their smug prick faces. Get back to my old personal best...

I saw someone selling a broken R9 290 (reference cooler) on Craigslist for pretty cheap. I've been looking to tinker around with computer stuff for a while, so I figured it was worth the gamble and picked it up. Now I turn to you guys, because you know a fair bit more than I do about electronics...

Not @stienman and can't play tonight, but I'm down for another get-together soon. Anybody up for a late January/early February hangout?

I'll be back in Michigan on January 11th, and I'd love to get together with all y'all again.

I don't mind at all; I actually really enjoy teaching and scientific outreach, and--as neither of my parents have any scientific training--I get a lot of practice.

A mixture of neuroanatomy and genetics of both psychiatric illnesses and chronic stress, with an eye towards understanding what genes stress regulates and how these may be linked to depression.

I'll be defending my thesis in ~2 months. Fortunately most of the positions I'd like to go into explicitly desire a PhD, but yeah; I've had that talk with many undergraduates interested in graduate school (I.e. just trying to make them aware of the current situation, not necessarily discouraging...

Yep, pretty much. Don't get me wrong--I'm really happy for him--but it is absolutely maddening that it literally just fell into his lap when he's unqualified. Meanwhile I'm being told, "Yeah...you have six years of extensive experience in EXACTLY what we're looking for, but...nah."

Fuck each and every one of the following. The company that did not list one particular area of experience as a requirement (even though I fit every other criteria perfectly), forced me to fill out a twelve-page application, then automatically declined me because I'd indicated I did not have...

Seriously tinkering around with overclocking for the first time. Got my 3.5 GHz i5 overclocked to 4.5 GHz, and ~10% performance boost over baseline with my GTX 970. Yet Fallout 4 is still running very poorly, so I'm sure there's some stuff I need to iron out.
