Absolutely the funding climate in the US is the reason. I just want to get into a grad school (other than FSU)

I might have to come up with a reason. My real one is wanting to help discover laws that can lead to better disease mechanism understanding, but I was told its too much an appeal to emotion, and more a goal brought about by multiple group's work combined, not just mine. I just found nonlinear...

Thanks for the reply. I know it takes time to read this stuff. I'll add some context about the TA'ing in its own paragraph. Yes we do have a molecular biophysics department, I just didn't know about it until recently. There's no biological physics in our physics department was what I meant...

Hello. I'm an undergrad at FSU and want to apply for experimental Biophysics in physics departments of schools in the Northeast (and 2 in Oregon). You might have seen me stressing on a separate post here recently. I've had my SOP critiqued by my professor, she's on my school's admissions...

Hello, I'm more stressed than anything else. This post is somewhat just venting. When I first came to undergrad, I didn't know what field I'd want to go in. In beginning research, I just took advantage of my university's affiliations and spent time at the National Maglab. Here I used...

Man. I’m a little naive on the subject, and your insights help me relax some. Thanks! Plus I found out that there aren’t any undergraduate opportunities in biophysics at my university right now anyways (Both professors already have 4 undergrads). I suppose that’s information I can include in...

So I’m a junior at FSU and I have to apply to grad schools next year. I’ve done EPR condensed matter research with Steven hill at MagLab during my sophomore year. I am currently doing experimental nuclear research with Ingo Weidenhover, and my bachelors thesis will be on measuring J values for...

Thank you. I realize my question was super general, but you managed to give me advice that’s very specific. I’m going to bring this concern to build a plan with me to my next meeting with my academic advisor:) It also makes me lean toward experimental research in every way. Thanks again!

I apologize, I think I have missed a basic rule here. I chose the Brazil flag because that’s where my family is from and my first language. I was born in the USA, I’ll change my flag.

I think you’ve misinterpreted me here. I’m not asking you to predict anything, the question was asking those who have been in the field what their experience has been. Anecdotal experience is the extent of my question, sorry for not being clear before. Not being sarcastic here. You mentioned...

Let’s assume that I’m obsessed- Er… “formidable” in whichever field I choose. You’re saying Nuclear physicists don’t skew towards either experimental or theoretical in a US national lab? If there is no skew, then I see why you mentioned that there’s no way to tell. As I type this I realize...

Hello all, I have a question for those with knowledge of Nuclear Physics career outlook. I am at a point where I need to decide soon. I know I want to go to grad school, I know I want to study Nuclear Physics, but I'm a little torn between which method of study to undergo. I would not mind...
