Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Alright folks, this just in... Our entire Alliance group, that would be 12 people at Caltech (most of whom have families and kids, two of whom are pregnant right now), and I have no idea how many people at UCSF, Stanford, UTSW, and UCSD is royally fcuked. We did not get our NIH grant renewed for as much money as we asked for. In other words, we got 2 million dollars for 3 years, when we needed 12 million. OH MY GOD, I need to find a new job. I am freaking out and yet can't put into words how much. F**k!!! Looks like I may be going back to school sooner than I thought.

      F*ck! I'm sorry Christine!
      Is NIH low this year or did they just not give you the amount needed for some other reason?

      Wino- sure it was a good idea. Just because some uninformed and closed minded people don't agree with research on that, doesn't make it less worthwhile and meaningful work.

        I'm thinking of selling my soul to the tech company. Hours are what they are, no need to go over, nice benefits, more pay, and no worrying about grants and such. Yep, biotech companies are looking very good right now.

            I got some chores for you to do around the house if you're interested.

            Other than that - I need a job too.

              Well I still have a job anyway so I don't have to do your chores just yet.

                I don't know but the letter Dubya comes to mind. Jack@$$. Anyway since our lab is one of the more productive one's in the project we are staying, I just don't know how long it's going to last. 2 million $ is not very much money. I'll know more after we have a meeting on Wendesday. As for what I'd do next, the head of our lab is also very well-known and influential in the molec. bio. field so worst case scenario I still have a rocking recommendation letter for grad school or another job. Perhaps this will lead to a chance to work at Amgen, which I would love to do.

                  That sucks.

                  That is the price one pays for working in a government funded institution, especially when the government's economy isn't doing too well either. Can't you apply to private places and biotech companies? You mentioned it up top, now follow through.
