I love this thread. (This part is accurate)  |

I was just saying that the manufacture of proteins doesn't always depend on DNA, when it actually does. It's just that proteins and DNA depend on each other. It's kinda like the "Chicken and the egg" puzzle.
And the other part was false, too.
No one got it. 
eta: and what are you getting your PhD in?

I am getting my PhD in biochemistry, and I get your joke now, thanks! I think the way it was originally written was confusing.
RANDOM INCORRECT ADVICE: If you have less than a 3.0 in undergrad, you should definitely apply for medical school, law school, or graduate school.

A PhD in biochemistry--that's so awesome! Good luck to you, I know you'll do very well.

When you go through recruitment, don't worry about your personal appearance at all. After all, if they don't like you for WHO you are then screw 'em. AND don't bother looking at "bottom tier" chapters. You are the spoiled little princess and only want the BEST.
