Haha yeah.

okay, thanks for your input everyone

I'm actually in the same exact position, but I haven't gotten the talk from my PI yet. I did get a talk from my postdoc adviser, telling me to be more assertive though. thanks for sharing

I haven't asked for a job, but I have written for a volunteer position and gotten emails saying if I wanted a job. I think its okay if you email them asking for job opportunities.

i think thats enough... im at a mid rank masters program with an uGPA of 2.9 from an ivy with 2 REUs for research experience

humanly possible

thanks for the reply everyone. i posted this under the biology forum, but its not just that i am getting negative results but rather that i am not able to get results similar to my mentor's. right now im practicing.

i havent taken many chemistry and math classes, just introductory calculus and organic chemistry. can i apply to biochemistry programs?

thank you all for your response. i really dont know whether my mentor is annoyed or not, so im going to speak to him hopefully monday and see what he's thinking. i think (i know i should probably know this, but he hasnt stated it outright to me) that i am just repeating experiments he's already done. ive been avoiding this conversation, but i think its time to have it, in case he wants me out or something and i can find another lab sooner rather than later. ive also been making all these mistakes, like i left a tube of DNA in the cell culture hood overnight when the UV light was on so i wouldnt be surprised if he is annoyed. how do you guys show appreciation for what your mentors have done for you? ive learned a lot from my mentor and dont want this all to end on a sour note.

well, during the first 6 months i was doing cloning work, but in the last 6 months, ive been doing stuff where the data should be coming in. so during the first 6 months, i was there no more than 15-20 hrs a week, but for the last 6 months im there 30 hrs a week. and about why i cant get any data - idk. ive been practicing, to see if i get similar data to my mentor's and so far i havent.

i havent been able to generate data that corresponds with that of my mentor, so i havent been able progress with the project. i am currently practicing to see if i can get believable data. thank you for your response.

i posted this somewhere else, but ive been volunteering in a lab for a year and i have yet to generate any data. worse part is that i want to apply for PhD programs at the end of this year, but with no results i think thats going to be difficult.
