Hi everyone! My son is just over 6 months. Now that I'm back at work, we're doing combo-feeding during the day with whatever I can pump (which isn't much) and formula. This is working for us, I think, and he's fine with the mix. The issue for me is trying to figure out how much formula to give him on the weekends (and when). Due to my current position, I can't pump on a schedule and I tend to get varying amounts during the week. I am totally fine with doing some formula during the weekend, but I think he gets more than I pump when he nurses, but he also gets bigger bottles during the week vs. from the breast directly (not sure if that makes sense). Anyway, what do others do? I'm having a har

Okay, so I don't post here much, and I feel bad about coming and asking for support since I don't really contribute much, but I just don't know. I'm so frustrated.

I'm getting married in a little over a week. (And I am also finishing my PhD this week, and holy shit, before we get into the rest of this, can I just say how fucked up it is that like no one gives a shit about that but everyone is like "ooooooh, how is wedding planning going? what does your someweddingbullshit look like? Congrats! but of course I won't congratulate you on your advanced degree, because who cares about that. ladies are for getting married to, not for doing science." anyway...)

My S/O is a feminist according to hi

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, and I can remove if necessary. I am going back to third year of medicine after several years of research, and I'm pretty nervous. I am definitely not as up on the details as I think most of my peers will be, but I also don't have the time to go back and try to relearn all of the differences between the interleukins and how the complement cascade works. If you had a month to refresh the most critical skills and knowledge for 3rd year med school, what would they be? As a intern/resident/attending, what are the most important things you think a medical student should be knowledgeable about or prepared for? Thanks!

Hi everyone - thought I would give this a shot. I'm writing a paper (neuroscience) and trying to figure out how to combine the SEM for a ratio. I've spent some time on the internet searching, but haven't found exactly what I need.

I have two measurements, say x and y, and I need the ratio x/y with the corresponding standard error of the mean. I found http://www.talkstats.com/showthread.php/16499-Standard-deviation-of-the-Ratio-of-two-means, so I have a formula for the variance, but I don't know how to incorporate the number of measurements (there are 9 measurements for x and 10 for y) to get from standard deviation to standard error.

If anyone has thoughts, that would be awesome.

I'm getting married in July, so I'm working on getting everything planned. Personally, we are planning to have a pretty "secular" service in a park, but I'd like to include some Jew~ish traditions and/or readings (probably in English). What were the most meaningful parts of your wedding, for you?

I'm a graduate student in an MD/PhD program, and I am looking at probably getting married and probably finishing my thesis next summer (fingers crossed on the PhD part...). I'm starting to worry that trying to do both at the same time will either cause my defense to be delayed or make the wedding just a big stressor that I don't enjoy. I'm not sure what to do or how to plan, so I thought I'd see if any of you have advice.

The complication is that my program requires me to return to medical school in the beginning of July or mid-August. There is no way to change the timing, so if my defense date gets bumped from something like the end of June to, say, the end of September, I have to wait a y

Hey everyone. I'm a somewhat infrequent commenter and lurker here. I got hit by a car on my way to work almost 4 weeks ago. I don't want to give too much information because of insurance stuff, but it was not my fault and I am pretty severely injured. (Broken bones in 3 limbs). I am supposed to make a full recovery, other than some pretty gnarly scars on my knee from surgery (and hopefully not on my face). For the time being, though, I am pretty much unable to do much of anything without help and rarely leave the house.

Since I have seen a bunch of posts here about accidents, I was wondering what suggestions you all have for how to deal with recovering and getting back on the bike. I'm not
