you clearly know nothing of biology...

Maybe they did, but the phones turned off didn't get billed so they're not mentioned?

From the provider's point of view it is pretty easy to determine if a phone was actually on or not, so if you're going to overbill it's probably wise to overbill phones that were actually turned on...

Wait, whut??? You mean aunts or ANTS?

Or perhaps he knew exactly what he was doing?

Tai: So as you can see I used this method to calculate the surface underneath the graph, and as you can clearly see the results show that....
Fellow MD1: Wait, what method? That looks pretty sciency!
Fellow MD2: Cool method, did you think of it yourself?
Tai: Huh, I just calculated the surface underneath the graph, it's basic calculus you know?
Fellow MD1: Calculus schmalculus, did you think of publishing your method
Fellow MD2: Yeah you should totally publish this! Call it Tai's method or something, it's awesome!

I think my wife is going to object to having roommates, otherwise I will.

Unfortunately, the good labs are in Boston, SF or NY... At least in my field (Biomolecular/Cell Biology)

Yes, which is much more than in most countries

Actually here (Netherlands) PhD students are not considered students, it's a job and you get a salary. I actually get paid more now then when I will be doing a Post-doc in North America, one year from now.

You realize no jellyfish is going to be harmed for this right? This protein will just be made synthetically in the lab in bulk, which is way more efficient than isolating it from actual jellyfish.

Yeah TFS is misleading, what else is new?

And you know, get marked as spam and reach nobody in the end

I don't know, I don't own an iPhone but an android...

That would be awesome on Android based phones with touchscreens, specially if you can just start drawing characters and it will recognize them like in this site: http://www.nciku.com/
