Too bad he does not have a high res version available to use for a wallpaper. I would love to use it for one.

Seeking a BS in Biology! (goal: Wildlife Biologist) by uRabbitin biology

[–]BotanyBoy 17 points18 points ago

Without at least a Masters degree, you will not have much luck seeking that particular job, for it is quite competitive. There are more folks with a BS in Biology than there are jobs for in that area.

It's just a puff piece, attempting to attract investors.

Know the signs. by Frogman7in funny

[–]BotanyBoy 3 points4 points ago

Given the current economic & research situation in the US, it is more likely you would end up doing something not related to your field of study. Many end up teaching at community colleges, or continuing on to a PhD in hopes of being hired in a larger institution. Some end up working at museums, but jobs in that area are scarce as well. It is quite competitive. Major oil companies did hire many years ago, in particular those who studied paleobotany or palynology. Those days are long gone now, for they no longer see a need for those of us trained in those areas.

As someone educated in Paleontology, this makes me laugh!

I have to learn ALOT of biology. I find it so hard to memorize it all. Please help me!!! by nwywgadtlin biology

[–]BotanyBoy 23 points24 points ago

My advise, as someone with multiple degrees in the sciences, is get your ass off of Reddit and put your nose in the damn books studying. That will help you.

Saw this on my facebook with 13,000 likes. All the people shown were convicted and are in jail. by Oneireusin WTF

[–]BotanyBoy 22 points23 points ago

This happened where I live, and it was always in the news here. Granted, national news didn't touch the story though that I can recall. It was sickening, what these people did. What is worse though, is the Judge in their trial was a power hungry drug addict, who traded favors for drugs & sex. Because of this they are getting a retrial...

I've got Bell's Palsy. If you can't laugh at yourself, life's gonna seem a whole lot longer than you like. by aimslyin pics

[–]BotanyBoy 0 points1 point ago

I've had it, and it was much worse for me than what you have. It looked like half my face was melted.... No shit. It finally went away after 2 years, and it made my life horrible. Eating & talking were extremely difficult. Then there was the pain...

So, you want to be an FFL? Here's something else you have to work on that AR15.com didn't tell you about by FirearmConciergein guns

[–]BotanyBoy 1 point2 points ago

Strange to see a "subpoena" which has no signature from a Judge. Makes you think, doesn't it... I would ask ATF about it, or better yet, a lawyer.

M42 with a 16" Meade by grumpystooin Astronomy

[–]BotanyBoy 1 point2 points ago

I've taken several images through a 16" Meade SCT, including M42. Your image is considerably out of focus. Do you have the original shots? I could try to process them with AstroArt.

Their primary customers are in the US, so I doubt it. I could be wrong though.

Getting into zoo/animal care? by al3x3691in biology

[–]BotanyBoy 1 point2 points ago

Not trying to crush your hopes, but what you want is a highly sought after job. It is rare that a position comes open, and the competition is quite fierce. It would be best to have at least a masters degree, and to know someone who may help you. Good luck!

Yup, it's a fucking mess, just like America...

I need to interview a biologist. This place seems appropriate. by GalacticWhalein biology

[–]BotanyBoy 2 points3 points ago

  1. Yes

  2. Yes

  3. What needs to be changed at the high school level in the US, cannot be changed due to the current entrenched pedagogy. With that being said, it is/was out of my control.

  4. Currently, the market is flooded with biologists with only a BS. Most current graduates end up working in a field unrelated to their education.

  5. I have undergraduate and graduate degrees, which took me 6 years total to obtain, and I am considering another in a different field.

  6. It is difficult to say what it will be like in 10 years. Much will depend on the economy, which is still somewhat stagnate for this particular field.
