I have not met Jim Hardy on PF, but by this thread I see he was a great contributor. My condoleances to his family and friends.

Very nice Andrew. During my Bachelor studies I have also worked with Copper sulfate and some copper nanoparticles for toxicity assays. It is interesting to see the effects on a different plant species now. Keep up the good work!

Healthy skeptisicm is a good thing. Adding too many grains of salt or attempting to find an angle doesn't work out too well. For example, as testing of substances go it is not smart to think any effect is really unimpactful if the usage is very high. Lack of data is not an excuse, it should be...

The studies should serve as an eye opener. Let us hope we can take some measures to alleviate the negative effects presented.

Like Dr. Courtney also said, basically GPA and other basic qualifiers, which should be taken with a pinch of salt. I've seen multiple times where people are really good at taking tests, but not much else. Anyway, we seem to digress a little. Most PhD students are above 90% of the students IMHO...

Broadly speaking, some PhD's are in for it because of the experience or the fact that there are simply grants for it. Most of the PhD's I have met are very much putting effort into it and seem to have a plan, but not all have this quality ;) Getting into a PhD is not easy either, not in my...

They should have had the opportunity to know this at the very least, sadly I am not sure how realistic that is in the current climate... Especially if you consider some of last years scandals in the so-named professional environments (Facebook for instance) In any case I agree with the...

This is very important, so if available also check job markets that may be hosted in your area. Also there may be a great variety of retraining programs such as the one offered to become a teacher, but than in areas like data science, programming etc. The best thing is for people to realize...

Thanks atyy! Did not have those Australian studies yet.

Hello people, For a project I am working on I am looking for more detailed information on clinical issues that may arise in vWD in dogs. The focus for us is on a specific breed of dogs, but first we need some data from different breeds to have a benchmark. Does anyone here happen to know...

There is a high chance that it will affect this, but it is very impractical to predict. One of the factors to take into account is that any such space might be suitable for a host of other crops that may or may not get preference by the locals that grow, and than there will also be political and...

Adding on that I would say it is more than just the introductory courses though, I would wager that earlier on in middle school/high school, the students are not challenged enough to push their abilities to the "next" level. Personally I have seent his many times, you know with parents...

Excellent point to raise. Luckily for coffee its relatives are documented species, so we can manage their population at least to some extent. It seems there are many species that we use for agricultural purposes where this kind of monitoring is not possible because they are a cultigen. Moving...

Greetings fellow PF users, Today I decided to join up this forum, for a good deal of reasons. After finishing my masters it has taken me a long while to find my path, and I can even argue the road is not fully paved yet. So one of the main reasons for joining is to keep my inquisitive spirit...
