  1. Thanks. I think I'm going to go with the separate workspace.
  2. I've always kinda worked in front of a TV, but now I need more monitor space for when I need to have articles + code + stackoverflow/documentation open. I was planning on setting up in my bedroom, but my dad suggested I set up in a free bedroom that is currently being used to store books and paperwork. It would essentially be a dedicated office, but I'd occasionally have people walking in and out to get books/paperwork. Would this be better than working out of where I sleep?
  3. Do you mind disclosing the martial art? I'm a BJJ purple belt and I'd like to be able to train 3-5 times a week (on average) throughout my graduate career. Hoping I can find a way to fit it in.
  4. I think every iteration of the macbook air has had bluetooth, which is what the apple keyboard and mouse use to connect.
  5. Keyboard connects to your laptop. Apple has a wireless keyboard that you may like. I'd recommend getting a little stand for your macbook so you can have the macbook screen at a usable height.
  6. I'm thinking about getting a white board. I'll be doing a lot of math so it may be useful. also: What do most people carry with them daily, and what do you leave in the office? I'm thinking about essential things I should have nearby at all times in grad school.
  7. Didn't know that. I'm 6'1 and already have a bad habit of slouching. Might go with something else. Getting a good chair seems harder than finding a good desk. Any suggestions?
  8. I think you can mix and match online as well. I may be getting a new desk as well. Likely going with the linmon desk, 1 alex drawer and 2 legs for the other side. Haven't yet decided because its lower on my priority list (I have a functional desk, its just kinda ugly and one of the cabinets is broken).
  9. You can mix and match desktop +legs/cabinets at Ikea. Relatively cheap (I guess?).
  10. I should add - prior to starting in September, the program will be placing me in a lab as a summer student working on a computational problem, and assigning me readings to help get me up to speed.
  11. So I decided 2 weeks ago on the program I was going to accept. I declined an offer to a very good professional program in favour of a PhD in Comp. Biology. For some reason, at the time, and the following 2 weeks, I was delighted with my decision. Right now, I regret it. I feel like I don't have enough experience, and I'm not quite sure if I will be able to succeed. I have the skills in their raw form - I know my biology, statistics and programming - but I don't have any experience putting all of it together (and I made this clear in my application) in a research setting. Is it normal to feel this way?
  12. Hey, I was accepted into the same program recently; I will be receiving my official package in the next few days. I'm wondering if there was a minimum GPA required by the end of the term. Might get a B+ in one of my courses (probably not), but just want to make sure.
  13. I decided early on that I didn't want to leave Canada and U of T is the best in Canada for computational biology. Super excited to get started.
  14. Accepted! University of Toronto Molecular Genetics. Will be accepting.
