Went to apply for a job, midway through I learned that the person hiring is someone I respect very, very much in my field (who I have never spoken to), then saw the application site was closed (How Did I Miss the Deadline for this Really Cool Job!!!!) and then saw that it was the website's fault and that they were taking applications through LinkedIn DM's. So I did the premium trial & sent my reel in, and they told me they're sending it to recruitment/leads and that it's a good reel!!!! And then the person I have respected for years sent me a friend request!

I'm beside myself!!

in TT is it possible to have more the one path ?

or at least like gain two lvls in each path ?

There will be four level up opportunities in the game (though the last one not all players will see and it has no tests associated with it, it's just for checking off achievements).

Possible power combinations include:

The Jack of All Trades

Path of the Master: 🦇 Path of the Beast: 🦇 Path of the Shadow: 🦇

The Nosferatu

Path of the Master: Path of the Beast: Path of the Shadow: 🦇🦇🦇

The Wannabe Werewolf

Path of the Master: Path of the Beast: 🦇🦇🦇 Path of the Shadow:

Hypnotist Harry

Path of the Master: 🦇🦇🦇 Path of the Beast: Path of the Shadow:

The Cheek Splitter

Path of the Master: 🦇🦇 Path of the Beast: 🦇 Path of the Shadow:

The person who read the code and knows exactly how to get every level up opportunity...

Path of the Master: 🦇🦇 Path of the Beast: 🦇🦇 Path of the Shadow:

...and the person who didn't.

Path of the Master: 🦇 Path of the Beast: Path of the Shadow: 🦇

Trump wants to enforce gender assignment at conception based on biological sex. AFAB and AMAB are out. Absolutely every single American will now be AFAC (assigned female at conception). Congrats on the gender.

I'm so excited for the new season--we look unstoppable!

Well, you can't win 'em all.

This team can't score first or win in regulation, but they always make me believe in the comeback.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHH

quirk science is like. so interesting to me and is probably an absolute bonkers field in the world of bnha, but one of my favorite bits is dabi's hair and teeth being immune to fire while the rest of him is even more vulnerable LMAO

(like yes i know its bc he needs to look appealing as a character but its so funny)

I need you to be so fucking real with me: Do we have any definite canonical proof he doesn't just have a fireproof wig and dental implants?

That's exactly what I was talking about though. someone needs to study whatever codominant inheritance/chimera nightmare the Todoroki kids have going on. The fact that Toya in particular is so messed up, at least to me, shows that people often don't just have "one quirk" but rather any number of mutations of which the most noticeable one gets written down in the quirk registry. I think the example of the girl with the water quirk izuku mentions already shows that quirk registration Is less of a diagnostic process and more of a self-report based formality (it only recording one quirk might be a remnant from a time in which quirks were still relatively new and combined mutations less common)

Those mutations can work together extremely well (Endeavor's ability to produce fire and having some degree of fire resistance), severely disable the person (Dabi or in even more extreme cases, the nomus) or have no interference at all (Tokoyami's bird mutation and dark shadow)

Shoto alone has an extremely lucky combination of least four distinct mutations but even people that aren't the product of morally dubious genetic experiments have clear advantageous combinations like Katsuki also being fireproof to an extent and having some form of shock resistance (For every Todoroki or Bakugo there are probably 10 people with technically the same quirk who could never use them for hero work because they don't have the additional invisible quirks)

Katia Plant Scientist is finally Dr. Katia Hougaard! Last month, I passed my viva voce exam at Imperial College London and officially earned my PhD in plant biology. A viva voce is the British academic system's final hurdle in the PhD pathway. This exam involves two experts who read the PhD candidate's thesis and then interview the candidate on his or her research. The aims are to make sure that the PhD candidate designed and carried out the experiments in the thesis and that he or she fully understand the scientific methods involved. Although there were many challenging questions, the viva went very well for me and I passed with minor corrections. This photo shows me celebrating the milestone with my supervisor Professor Colin Turnbull as well as my colleagues Dr. Po Yuan, Dr. Javaid Iqbal, and Dr. Rosa Lopez-Cobollo. I am very grateful to my supervisor for his unwavering support and mentorship in preparing for the viva. I will share more insights on the PhD journey in future posts! hashtag#katia_plantscientist hashtag#imperialcollegelondon hashtag#phd hashtag#phdviva hashtag#vivavoce hashtag#colleagues hashtag#plantbiology hashtag#phdjourney hashtag#biology hashtag#science hashtag#womeninscience hashtag#academia hashtag#lifeupdate hashtag#professionalmilestone hashtag#academicsuccess
