| Vector maps? |
[18 Apr 2012|07:02pm] |
Hello, I apologize if this is a noobish question.
Where can I find the full vector map of the Dup vector?
It's actually for a friend of mine. Does anyone here use it?

Hi everyone,
I'm almost done with my MSc (yay!) and am considering doing my PhD abroad (I'm currently in South Africa). I know all of the obvious choices (Oxford, Harvard, Yale, Cambridge etc), so could you guys let me know about lesser known but reputable ones in my field? I want to apply to a significant number of universities.
Thanks in advance!

| Universities in Japan? |
[08 Feb 2012|06:51pm] |
Greetings!
I am looking into a postdoc in Japan - however I need to come up with a host institution, and someone who is willing to work with me.
THe problem is I actually don't know anyone is Japan. Except that I don't know where to start in contacting people, this is not a problem, as one of the aims is to promote collaboration etc etc.
My question is: do you know any universities which have a soils/sediments researchers (this often falls under environmental science/agriculture/geochemistry). My background is iron mineralogy, trace metal mobility, and acid sulfate soils (although I am really wishing to expand my skills!).
I have looked up the websites of many Japanese universities now, but am having troubles navigating to find researchers/centres which fit my skill set.
any help is greatfully appreciated.

Hi everyone,
Could someone please help me with
a biochemistry problem solving question. This is from Ch. 2. problem 15 in Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry:
Calculating pKa: An unknown compound, X, is thought to have a carboxyl group with a pKa of 2.0 and another ionizable group with a pKa between 5 and 8. When 75 mL of 0.1 M NaOH was added to 100 mL of a 0.1 M solution of X at pH 2.0, the pH increased to 6.72. Calculate the pKa of the second ionizable group of X.
Answer: 7.3 But I don't know how to solve it :(
I would really appreciate it if someone could explain this to me.
Thank you
P.S. does the Henderson Hasselbalch equation have anything to do with this problem?

| Fellowships question |
[15 Nov 2011|09:17am] |
Beyond the prestigious early graduate school fellowships (i.e. NSF, NESDEG) and the very prostegious later ACS organic fellowships, where are good places to look for to apply for external fellowships your late second through fourth year of graduate school? I'm looking for those fellowships that exist but are not super well known that I could have a shot in the dark of securing after publishing a couple papers. (There are also internal fellowships at my institution that I could apply for, and I do intend to apply for those eventually).
I noticed that there is an NIH NRSA (an F31...essentially it's the same fellowship as for postdoctorial researchers, just for predoctorial researchers) fellowship, although I do not know anyone who has applied for it. It may be difficult to angle my research towards one of the participating agencies, and I'm not even sure what agency I would apply for. I am in an organic chemistry program, but my research is more biological chemistry oriented (so any kind of chemical biology or chemistry-biology interface grant would apply). It's also geared towards making compounds to expedite the synthesis of complex natural product drugs through biocatalytic transformations, so something like cancer isn't completely out of the question.
I saw that there are DDIG fellowships for the biological sciences, but since I'm extremely chemistry heavy, I don't think it applies.
There seem to be a lot of fellowships associated with medicinal chemistry programs, but my program isn't through a school of pharmacy, and most of those programs require that you are through a school of pharmacy.
Anyway, I'm curious if you all know about general or chemistry or biological sciences graduate fellowships that are geared towards later graduate students (like dissertation improvement grant style) that are applicable to someone who does bioorganic chemistry/chemical biology/medicinal chemistry NOT in a school of pharmacy. I guess the stuff I do could also be marketed as "green chemistry".

Hi fellow scientists,
I have a rather unusual request I'm hoping some one on this commiunity can help out with. I'm looking for a program that will read scientific papers out loud. The versions Ive used thus far include te PDF reader with acrobat and some software designed for the visually impaired but neither are ver effective. I have speak to text for my iPad but that only works with an Internet connection which I sometimes don't have. Has anyone found a suitable program to help read papers out loud? I would like to use it while doing monotonous labor in the greenhouse and to give to a colleague who just had surgery who is having trouble reading with the pain meds she's on. Thanks in advance

| DNA sequencing |
[12 Oct 2011|04:19am] |
Do you find there is a dramatic difference in quality from one sequencing company to the next? A few people in my lab have sent out samples for sequencing and gotten nonsense, then resent the exact same DNA prep to the company and gotten great results. I was told the lab we use is nice because they process everything cheaply, quickly and efficiently, although the quality isn't very good. I haven't run any sequencing reactions myself so I'm not exactly sure how much human error can screw things up and affect quality- does one company really consistently do higher quality sequencing reactions than another? Or is it likely the sequences are just handled differently when they are in the mail?
And while I'm posting....
I'm applying to PhD programs and I'm really quite intimidated. I do want to study cell signaling in development, but I also routinely come across a paper in something different like cancer signaling which happens to be really fascinating. Is it bad to not have a single solid focus?

| paid for reviews |
[28 Sep 2011|08:27am] |
Do you ever get paid to write reviews?
I've reviewed papers for a journal in which I'm published and that work of course was unpaid. The peer review process is something we academics do for one another.
But a few people have suggested that I could write review papers and get paid for it. The context is that I'm doing what is known as a 'portfolio career'. I'm a postdoc, good at writing scientific prose, but I'm disabled and therefore won't ever be able to take a full-time job. Do you know what I could do towards making review-writing a source of income?

| Career advice/ biotech industry (?) |
[11 Sep 2011|01:18pm] |
I graduated from college with a degree in biology just over 2 years ago. I did a lot of labwork in college including a mediocre independent research project, then worked as a lab tech in a hospital lab for 2 years, now in a biotech company for about half a year as a research associate.
I have been toying with the idea of getting a PhD since college, however I HEAR it is a hard life in terms of having to relocate every 3 years & low pay? (is this as true as internet forums lead me to believe, or do just the most depressing people write on them? ie. starving phds with no job prospects)
Lately I have been thinking, after 5 years in labs I am confident that I would be ABLE to do a PhD. I think I know way more about the research process now than if I had done it right after undergrad. The question is if I should. I feel that I will quickly hit a ceiling in industry with just my BS, at least in lab careers. I have gotten exposure to, and considered alternate careers within industry like Regulatory Affairs/Quality that I think I would like. A PhD would open up doors to more Scientist- level careers, (and potentially management?) but would it keep doors open to these non-research jobs in industry too? Or are these more geared to BS/MS?
Overall just looking for some real honest opinions about what job opportunities require what degrees. I have worked in research long enough that I know I like it, and I think I want to try for the PhD but I am also the kind of person that needs some stability/a backup plan. I'd like to know that if Science doesn't work out, or ends up requiring more relocation than I am willing to do, I would be qualified (not overqualified) for these other job types.
Side note: Will my pre-PhD experience in biotech help me return to biotech after I get my PhD?
Thanks in advance. I have talked to supervisors, scientists I work with and have gotten advice, but everyone seems to only know their path and NOT know how common their career path is or what happened to other PhDs they knew.
