Farlo Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 The exams didn't go very well unfortunately, in order to attend some exams i need to have followed the laboratory session during the winter, but i didn't since i live far from the university, so i could't give those exams... damn, i need to leave this small useless island ;( Brutal dude... that sucks.

That would be disappointing! Laboratory? What is your focus of study? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be disappointing! Laboratory? What is your focus of study? Yeah that's it! My field is biology, i was fully prepared to give the exam, but at the very last time they told me i needed to have the laboratory presence in order to give it. Screwed! Now i have to give those exams in the next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now i have to give those exams in the next year. My field is also biology (I suspected you as well, given your Nexus avatar is Darwin ;) ... you should bring him over here ). I am a no-longer practicing coelenterate biologist... focus was evo-devo and environmental effects. When you say 'give' the exam, I am assuming that you mean 'take' the exam? (in English, 'giver' is instructor, 'taker' is student. Apologies if you are an instructor!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bealdwine Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 "Useless little island"? In the Med? hmmm, I suspect it's probably a paradise compared to many places ;) Couldn't you switch to marine biology and therefore have the laboratory on your doorstep? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadWizard25 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Nice, fellow biologists :D Currently studying Molecular and Cellular Biology. Sorry to hear about your exams Compiler, better luck next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about your exams Compiler, better luck next time. Cool, so your emphasis is molecular in general or something specific to cell biology? Working on a BS or further along? Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadWizard25 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Cool, so your emphasis is molecular in general or something specific to cell biology? Working on a BS or further along? Good luck Thanks :) Currently in a masters. Course is cross-disciplinary with cell bio research generally but with emphasis on inclusion of molecular methods when possible such as NMR or X-ray crystallography. Wrapping up a more cellular focused year long project to find protein protein interactors between plant hosts and plant pathogens using yeast 2 hybrid. How about you?

Wrapping up a more cellular focused year long project to find protein protein interactors between plant hosts and plant pathogens using yeast 2 hybrid. How about you? I got my doctorate in biology in 2001: "An Integrative Approach to Aspects of Competition in Colonial Marine Hydroids" Since then, I worked for the USDA for 4 years in (of all things) plant virology. Don't much like the USDA or the government, and plant virology is a bit too tedious for me... I am more interested in field work and study organisms that can be seen (i.e., invertebrate biology mostly). Now I am working a s survey researcher in the healthcare industry ... my 6-year old has hemophilia, so that sort of changed my career path. Needless to say, I'd rather win megabucks, retire and go on adventures (in game and in RL) for the remainder of my existence ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadWizard25 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Sorry to hear about your kids disorder :( i know hemophilia aint so bad compared to others, but yeah, i can understand how that may change career paths. Heh, had to look up what a hydroid was, taxonomy is a little out of my field. Have to agree with you about plant virology being tedious, ive realized the same goes for any plant pathogen studies. Gonna look for something in neurobiology next. And ditto to the last point, if only we were all filthy rich! Then again i think most people who became researchers were not in it for the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daZza Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 No new release, no news, no lifesign of Compiler... Mod is officially dead then?! I mean 1.5 is out for ages now and there seems to be no progress at all on STEP Mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daZza Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Sorry, I no speak french :D But I thought again and actually it's the same result as before. There's no sign anywhere that this mod is still developed or actively maintained by anyone... Some people from the community are working their asses off to provide new ideas, test news mods, develop automatic updates/installation for STEP, ... But in the end The Compiler seems to have disappeared and all this work of the community is for nothing, as there will never be another version, which could implement those suggestions.

frihyland Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 You seem to be having a hard time finding the compilers posts, they are all over the place so you would need to search to find them or read everything. Here is a link to get you started The Compilers Posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
