When I’m not PhDing, I’ve been going all-in on dog sports and boy are we having a blast! Taking time to cultivate my hobbies and develop community outside of grad school helps me to feel refreshed and tackle my research. It’s one of the biggest lessons grad school taught me.







What made this worse was that people clapped after this comment/speech. Hundreds of people listened, and no one said anything. They clapped. I felt too uncomfortable and shocked to get up, collect my thoughts, and say something 4/



If you are studying methylation in plants and you're not looking at CDSs, you are mostly studying TEs, many of which like to live near genes. So most of your DMRs near genes are likely to be TEs, which are often polymorphic, so mapping to the reference genome is a problem.
