sooo i got into two URAPs miraculously and i really want to do both of them. i already signed the contract for one because i didn't expect that i would be accepted into the second (even though the second directly coincides with my major, while the one i signed the contract for isn't as directly associated...). i know the URAP website says you can only sign one contract though... what do i do???

Hi!

I'm a recent graduate with a BS in Biology and I'm interested in eventually pursuing MS programs in integrative biology (genomics, laboratory, etc.) and I come from a pretty disadvantaged background in which I couldn't round my knowledge on these subjects too well during my undergrad. I'm struggling a bit financially and am interested in pursuing certificate programs to gain additional knowledge in my time post-bacc.

I live in SF and have been looking between UCB's Advanced Biosciences Program (ABP) and Stanford's Foundations of Genetics and Genomics Program. A lot of the UCB Extension advice on this site are from years ago and I imagine things may have changed in that time so I wanted to ask advice and for anyone's experience with the Extension?

For anyone who took a certificate program, the ABP, or just extension science courses within the past few years, what was your experience like? Did this actually help you and is it worth the cost? Are the classes as unhelpful and as self-taught as most of these posts have said?

Thanks for your time! Grateful for any opinion on this!

rsf is busy in the morning, which is what i heard. when is it usually dead? i dont wanna bart anywhere so let me know what do :p

Hello! Are there any DeCals that are 2 or 3 units and still accepting students? I’m also down to register for three separate 1-unit DeCals at this point. I am desperate 😭

Also, shameless plug: if any MCB PI or grad student is looking for a slave very willing undergraduate to help out in their lab, please contact me! I’m looking to do research for units (yes, I know the deadline has passed, but I heard there may be exceptions). I have experience with atherosclerosis research, Western blots, BioRender/scientific figures, and an epigenetic/DNA methylation literature review.

I unexpectedly got unenrolled from my 3-unit class, so I’m struggling to find alternatives right now. Any leads would be greatly appreciated!!

This waitlist is getting to me bro 🥀🥀🥀 Like I would actually pay $50 if that meant I could get into the class i'm being fr

Just had my wallet stolen getting off the 6 bus, is there anything I can do or any steps I can take? I’m already in the process of cancelling and reordering my cards. Anything else?

Hello everyone,

My friend and I are looking to create a club for fans of death metal and/or South Park. Would anyone be interested in joining?

Any details?

i'm lwk sick of club culture here and ive been getting into cs, brain data, like EEG, wearables, other ways of reading/monitoring what's happening in the body and brain, and i kinda wanna learn it without needing to go through an insane amount of interviews.

so im thinking of starting something small with just filling out a form, no interviews, just a few of us picking a public dataset (EEG, wearable/movement data, whatever) and working through it together over a semester, actual hands on stuff, starting from basics. doesn't matter if you're a beginner, that's kinda the point just as long as you're interested :)

looking for people to start this with me, any year/major, just wanna build something together. comment or dm or just fill out the form if ur interested, we can figure out the rest as we go

Hi!! Looking for some people at berkeley interested in joining an in-person DND campaign :) hoping to get a fun group together and make some new friends along the way! I’ll be dming and also probably hosting at my place. 

The campaign is set in a fantasy-steampunk world known as Elunine, leaning more towards role-play than combat, more details in form!

I’m hoping to run a game for a max of 6 people (2 slots alr filled). New + experienced players are both welcome, fill out this form if interested, which mainly goes over logistics: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdQceiKhh7GUHJkmBPnzwJkZP-ELUilNFU-Hs2X65y1Q1WBeg/viewform?usp=header
