Claude Fable 5 1 month ago

I am a PhD student in Computational Biology, essentially just doing statistics on some biological data. By now some of the things I am working on have found its way to Claude's memory so literally any chat with Fable gets immediately flagged.

Hi Peter,

Current Bio PhD student here. I would like to know more about ~ minimum requirements and costs for applying for an EB2 NIW. Bio papers take a long time to come out, so I would like to know whether I can still apply during the PhD while some of the papers are still in peer review or whether I would have to wait for a postdoc.

Thanks for doing this!

For neuroscience, where there is relatively little competition

Insane take. Neuroscience is highly competitive. As someone in both fields, I would say it is only a little bit less competitive than AI/ML.

I largely agree with the rest of your advice, but I would argue that having multiple extremely positive reference letters from different research experiences are worth more than some middle author publication.

On firefox you can also use sidebery. If I recall correctly it worked decently well. Currently I'm using Arc which performs well enough for my use cases, although being locked into chromium kinda sucks.

PhD Simulator 3 years ago

Current 4th year in Biology. Generally, 1 paper is expected, but it is not strictly necessary to graduate. Highly doubt that the PI will let you go without finishing your project though.
