Are there labs with more than one recent suicide?
- wiredfool 6y agoI’m a little hazy on it now, but my sister's lab had at least one while she was there, and it directly led to her death a few years later. It was ... not a healthy environment. Some warning signs would have been easier to see from the same coast, and some of them were obvious in hindsight.
- mhh__ 6y agoThat's horrible. I suppose there's a poetic irony that even in places where you can really transcend people still find a way to hurt eachother.
- marvin 6y agoSo sorry to hear that.
- totemandtoken 6y agoMy deepest condolences, very sorry to hear that
- Balgair 6y agoMy former lab has had 2 since 2012. I know of other labs at the school with more than that. I left, but not as the person I thought was going to leave when I started. The advice on talking to students is absolutely correct. And to be very clear, if you do not find any good labs in the schools you were admitted to: Do Not Go To Grad School At All. Reapply to other schools and wait. A year waiting is worth the 4 on the backend being a drone in a bad lab.
