how much do you make and whered you go to school?

also physics/mathematics fag here
dunno if i should major in mathematics, physics, aerospace engineering, or chemical/nuclear engineering

Very Nice. What fun projects are you currently working on?

Aerospace Eng is the tits (aerospace grad student here). Complex shit but applied to equally AWESOME stuff.

at the very moment I'm doing some immunohistochemistry on embroid bodies and feeder cells, a PCR of an insert for in vitro transcription, and aliquoting some plasmid

no offence (physics fag here) but, english please?

Why have you not gone home yet? Waiting on an experiment to finish, have a lot of work to catch up on, upcoming deadline for some report/poster/thesis/etc?

What rates of cancerous cells do you find from the use of the stem cells? (just curious)

>> No.2499675

25,000 a year. and free tuition (~32k)

>> No.2499681

Are you the same stem cell fag from last time?

>> No.2499686

>>2499675


is that RA or TA salary?


fuck you get shitloads if thats TA.... i think the national average is $20,000....


that is the standard salary at UC campuses, where the tuition is less than $15,000 for in-state people.
also be lucky your boss has funds... I know of a few groups where people literally had to get 2nd jobs because the group didnt even have money/grants to pay the tuition.

>> No.2499687

>>2499672

Still a grad student but jobs depend where you are (UK is pretty good, where I am). Oh and pay is above average for science/maths/engineering grads.

>> No.2499697

>>2499674
~0% seriously when not injecting them. and we don't inject raw stem cells (unless we're trying to show they are) because of COURSE they'll turn cancerous when they're in the body they're subject to all kinds of crazy growth signals

we inject reprogrammed cells to show they are stem cells because they form teratomas (tumors)

>>2499670
waiting on an experiment

>>2499671
I'm making the cells floures if they have certain markers that we know are present during certain stages of development, a pcr reaction to make something to insert into a plasmid to make mRNA in a tube

>>2499681
Probably

>>2499686
I'm not an RA, but I'm not a TA either. I'm a PhD graduate student but we don't have to teach any classes.

>> No.2499729

>>2499697
That's progress from the last time I looked into the topic. :-) It's good to hear that the cancer rate is nearly negligible now.

>> No.2499750

>>2499729
I didn't say the cancer rate is negligible. It's that we/I don't get any because we keep our cells in controlled environments and don't inject raw stem cells for any therapeutic purpose.

>> No.2501528

As a gigging musician I have over the years subjected my ears to damage from the high volume environments I play in. Is it possible in the future that stem cells may be used to regrow the inner ear hairs, that allow us to hear the range of frequencies that we do, so that we could restore our hearing to it's original total range as it was prior to any damage?

If so any rough estimate as to how far away such medical technology is?
