Am I Evil?

Jerel,

Are you still going to talk to me now that I'm (sniffle) a coat?

Does working on my MSc equivalency at the same time as my BSc make me a coat?

Do I HAVE to go through Coat-dom to make it out of the other side??

There you are! LOL

You will never, ever be a coat. You have a brain!

So what's up?? Have you decided exactly what kind of Dr. you want to be?

Jerel

Thanks Jerel! My spirits are lifted and my dedication renewed!

To fill everyone else in, instead of graduating with my Bachelor's in Marine Biology by taking comprehensive exams, I'm planning on doing it by writing a thesis equivalent to a Master's, in the regular four years it takes to complete the BS. Subsequently, I go straight into working on PhD (by age 21). I have to be picked up by one of the Marine Science program professors at Eckerd first, as they will be a thesis advisor, who will also serve on my defense panel.

BTW, Jerel, you know/heard of Dr. David Scholnick? He takes care of Eckerd's permitting. So far, I think I'd prefer him as an advisor. He's an invert physiologist. Him or Dr. Jeanine Lessmann.

So for my thesis, I am trying to get an internship in the Bahamas with an ongoing coral research program that often picks up Eckerd Students, we have to use existing data collection processes, etc. to collect data. So while in the Bahamas, I need find a side project that interests me and collect the data, then spend the next year or so writing it and rewriting it.

So Jerel, I want to mainly work with scyphozoan and anthozoan bio/phys, but moreso, coral reefs and their trophodynamics and ecology.

Or maybe I want to do pathobiology... those Monogeneans are so interesting

Good luck Chris.

This is the first time I understood everything you said.

Chris, you might be a tad evil but you aren't a coat

Spanky · 10-13-2002, 03:09 PM

Coats is our slang for all those little misguided do-goody "scientists" that run around in their little white lab coats saving the world. Even if they don't have on the "coats" their heads are still there.
They have a motto - "if you can't fix it, break it worse"

"Chris, you might be a tad evil but you aren't a coat"

Hey Spanky. Don't we both know someone like that? Cept he's a pretend scientist.

Why Rick, I have no idea what you're talking about.

I thought that was the Electrician's credo??
