Tuition is waived in 98%+ of cases, when it is not the assistantship is being paid by a research grant and for many of those the stipend is already higher than USCs. There may be some act of it tuition fees from one internal account to ano

They would be pissing off the admins who have to answer phone calls from angry donor parents about cancelled classes, but the professors that count, their PIs/supervisors probably back them 100%. If they get themselves paid by the Uni,

Really they could just offer a couple fewer graduate assistantships and/or think twice before bloating the administrative payroll with another deputy VP of whatever position making $120kpa.

I was doing manual labour starting at 4 am on the weekends to make ends meet during my PhD fellowship. I'd invent creative reasons for one off consulting type projects to random faculty in the department to try and get a couple hours

I'd accept that you are going to pursue getting over the line of the PhD even if it wasn't an ideal fit or your other misgivings about it. It's really just a piece of paper when it is all said and done, and it sounds like it

I have the same thought. Since you mentioned it first, you've been tasked as of now with reading the selection methodology and reporting back.

Perhaps because that is going to be a key factor in how many use cases for which it could be commercialised, worth considering when training a model costs a million dollars in compute time.

Is there any particular reason why another state hasn't snubbed Iowa yet and moved their caucus/primary up? Granted, it would cause a chain reaction but...

I'm not sure that is really an answer. I tried the customer service example. There was a faux chat log where the bot appeared to be accessing details of a customer's order but in terms of how to provide that functionality under th

We've had MERS and swine flu and C19 since that was published (2007), I imagine capacity may have improved since. And ultimately (cynically) that's just a function of the fact that maintaining a stockpile (or the capacity to quick

The constant evolution of new strains is the norm for seasonal flus though, for which we update vaccines in a matter of months (without any emergency use authorisation to cut through red tape)

But the more people refusing and the longer the wave goes, the more incidental deaths there will be from people with other medical issues that have access to care restricted.

In terms of vaccine I'd be more worried about even poorer uptake than the COVID vaccines among vulnerable populations this time around than I would with supply. The regulatory and manufacturing infrastructure exists to produce a lot of

There's no guarantee of that pattern though because transmissibility and lethality are not always tightly coupled. E.g. there's no reason a pathogen can't have traits favouring heavy presymptomatic transmission but also progr

That's it, and some of the coverage of the biggest loser followups I simply find hard to believe, like one contestant years later having to limit food to 800 cal a day to maintain a healthy weight. I'll be my life savings that wou

Things that change your actual metabolic rate are scarier. Like DNP. Ultimately the increased calorie expenditure needs to be spent somewhere and if it isn't just heat then it would have be be a large increase in NEEE (i.e. you get jit

You've mentioned the biggest loser study a few times, but my understanding is the metabolic adaptation of BMR is thought to be due to their dramatic increase in physical activity, not just the caloric restriction https://onl

The only way those interventions work though is because their net result is less calories consumed versus expended. It's cool if that works for you, but if you've lost weight you very much have sustained a caloric deficit.

The only way those differences really matter, as long as you are getting enough protein that you arent catabolizing muscle mass, is in what they do to how much you eat and perhaps exercise. Even if an insulin spike makes you crave junk food
