#Bioinformatics Support

[queersolarpunk]

just a happy lil rant

[shroomsnail]

starting to doubt my interest in the project i accepted to take over.... the more i hear what others are doing and planning to do, the more i understand what ive always been interested in.... i feel really bad to have to bring this up to my supervisor after 2 months of organising etc. but better now than once i actually start my masters? ;-;

[flowering-darkness]

before I forget again: I’ve settled on a name for my IAYS self-insert! ..Or, at least, a first name. which is Tessa!

Her surname might take me a bit longer to make concrete, due to how she fits into the setting; I usually come up with surnames more or less out of thin air for new self-inserts, but Tessa is a scientist of the Agency, and I envision her being referred to fairly frequently by her surname (as “Dr. (something)”) by those who are less familiar with her. So, it’ll come up a bit more than usual, and therefore it’s more important to me that I give her one I like the idea of her having. Which I haven’t yet settled on.

Thankfully, my not yet deciding a surname doesn’t stop me from making a blog tag for her, and right now I think I will make it “self‑insert: parameters of life (tessa)”. It reflects her role within the Agency, as a specialist in bioinformatics whose role revolves around testing and establishing necessary parameters for maintaining the mutants made by the Agency. After all, there’s no point investing so much into their creation if you can’t then keep them alive properly, right? But there’s no point investing in care facilities if you aren’t sure they’re what those mutants would actually need. So, Tessa’s computational work is valued for allowing things to be messed about with digitally, before then putting the best plan into practice first try.

(She approaches her work with a somewhat passive tone, distanced as she is from the actual implementation of her conclusions.. especially since the higher-ups often can’t be bothered (or don’t want to bother) to actually follow her guidelines properly, despite the fact that if they didn’t have them at all then they’d probably keep losing their mutants over and over. However, she has occasionally seen that there are some few times when her results will actually get implemented properly.. and it always makes her curious to learn something more about those subjects.)

That’s all I wanted to say for the moment ^-^ I’m still pretty set on Tessa’s design, but I may end up changing the details of it a little bit more if I have time ‑ the overall idea will stay the same, I just might swap out some of the parts being used on her reference model.

Thank you for reading, to those who have! I’m well aware that IAYS is not the most pleasant of settings, but it’s nevertheless an interesting one in its own way, and I’m very grateful to my friend Jamie for letting me self-insert into his work again! (also my friend Manor, Camellia’s creator, for being so supportive of my selfship with her in this setting!!)

Quote of the Week

My take on this is that you cannot use async Rust correctly and fluently without understanding Arc, Mutex, the mutability of variables/references, and how async and await syntax compiles in the end. Rust forces you to understand how and why things are the way they are. It gives you minimal abstraction to do things that could’ve been tedious to do yourself.

I got a chance to work on two projects that drastically forced me to understand how async/await works. The first one is to transform a library that is completely sync and only requires a sync trait to talk to the outside service. This all sounds fine, right? Well, this becomes a problem when we try to port it into browsers. The browser is single-threaded and cannot block the JavaScript runtime at all! It is arguably the most weird environment for Rust users. It is simply impossible to rewrite the whole library, as it has already been shipped to production on other platforms.

What we did instead was rewrite the network part using async syntax, but using our own generator. The idea is simple: the generator produces a future when called, and the produced future can be awaited. But! The produced future contains an arc pointer to the generator. That means we can feed the generator the value we are waiting for, then the caller who holds the reference to the generator can feed the result back to the function and resume it. For the browser, we use the native browser API to derive the network communications; for other platforms, we just use regular blocking network calls. The external interface remains unchanged for other platforms.

Honestly, I don’t think any other language out there could possibly do this. Maybe C or C++, but which will never have the same development speed and developer experience.

I believe people have already mentioned it, but the current asynchronous model of Rust is the most reasonable choice. It does create pain for developers, but on the other hand, there is no better asynchronous model for Embedded or WebAssembly.

[catboybiologist]

any tips on dealing with the fear of not getting into the biology grad-program you want bc it has very limited spots ?

This isn't the advice you want to hear. But... you're probably not going to get into the exact graduate program you want.

I applied to 12 schools for my PhD. I had a top choice for a graduate program that felt perfect. I already had my master's, putting me above applicants coming straight out of their bachelor's (For people in Europe, Oceania, and elsewhere- US PhDs are 5-7 years, but don't require any other postgrad education[although it helps for applications][also the rest of North and South America, as well as East Asia, also work like this]). I had already worked with a professor at this institution, and therefore my previous research had a lot of great connections with research at that institution. I had a strong mix of experience in the wet lab, computational work, and as support staff working with a tech. The university was in a location I loved, I had a friend who went there and we talked about how cool it would be if we both ended up there, and the coursework and educational focus was exactly what I wanted out of my career.

I didn't get in. Out of the 12 programs I applied to, I got into 2. 10 rejections was a blow to my ego, ngl, and for that and various other reasons, I felt miserable during that rejection season. I had staked a lot of my future visions for my plans on this one graduate program, so it was a nasty ego hit.

The blunt reality is that this will likely happen to you. And that’s okay. It means nothing about how qualified you are. The problem with graduate school is that it's not like undergrad. They're not just agreeing to educate you- they're *hiring* you to be a research associate. As such, they're not looking at how "good" of an applicant you are as an absolute scale. They're going to look at the particular mix of experience you have, and determine whether it's something they need for their program at that time, as well as the mix of experiences represented amongst all applicants.

For example, two of the things I had going for me were bioinformatics experience and animal research experience. Turns out that my dream program already had a lot of bioinformaticists there, and didn't have a strong emphasis on animal research, so they didn't need my particular skills at that time.

There's a mantra you'll hear so much in grad application times that you'll get sick of it, but it's unfortunately true: they're not looking at how "good" of applicant you are, they're looking for if you're the right fit.

The way to deal with this is realize that you probably won't get into *that one program*, but you *will* probably get into several others. And guess what? All of those will have amazing opportunities and educational environments for you. It might not be exactly what you pictured for yourself, but you will make it work. And above all else, don't let the rejections affect your sense of self worth.

I know because I'm extremely happy where I am now. The program I got into and went to has been phenomenal, and they actually kind of knew what was up with accepting me- my skills fill a particular void in one of the labs I said I was interested in. So I've been useful, productive, and happy here, doing interesting research.
