I feel like if I get a PHD, I want it to be something worth doing

I kid, I kid

your area of study is actually really cool Leg

I'm waiting to get to that point where I realize that I know nothing for signal processing

DSP was never challenging

he is also unkillable

what does DSP mean in that context

Digital Signal Processing

ah

that makes sense

the hardest it got was memorizing the fft algorithm

it's funny that normally physics intensive majors, also have jackoff Digital classes

it's a great balance

my DSP prof is who I am doing the PhD under

wtf is bio defense

preventing bioweapons?

sounds like pandemic response

I think it's the anti-Corona degree

it's super popular right now apparently

people really want degrees that won't be relevant when they complete them

it's the "fastest rising" PHD program at this school

followed by Data Science

that one will be

"Gain a background in the science and technology of biodefense and specialized areas of threat assessment, non-proliferation, and medical and public health preparedness, preparing you to serve as a scholar and professional in this rapidly evolving field."

that is what one schools description says

this one talks about man-made viruses

you are literally only useful during a pandemic

but you don't lose your job during one

learn how to predict everything wrong while studying how Sweden guessed correctly by doing nothing in response to the famous 2019 COVID-19 pandemic

if you get a biodefense phd are you legally allowed to wear plague doctor clothing

to work

I love the people, who think Corona is a "new normal" and we'll now have yearly outbreaks we have to shut down the country for

imagine

people really think that

Sweden beat it by getting 20% herd immunity

shutting down the country every year

we'll be fine

lmfao

idk Bopit

I do too

I get paid to do nothing

it's great

like legit

shut down for like 2 months a year

free 2 month vacation

spooky is now communist confirmed

Summer break for all

I can dig it

being a neet has it's perks

since my organic 2 class is too large

half of us go on monday

Dolf, nothing makes me more sympathetic to communists than working a real job

the other half wednesday

>having in person classes

lol

that's how alot of schools are doing it

Max could have done all in-person

none of us there friday

had she wanted

my profs are giving me the option to just stay home though

I'd just stay home

my labs are obviously in person though

there is nothing university wise you can't do at home

we have fucking in doors and out doors

unless you are doing labs/research

and up stairs and down stairs

you somehow are the most serious about Corona here Pika

all of us have moved on

I would rather not catch it

hes fat

hes got a comorbidity

I have been to a place where I needed a mask 3 times

otherwise I have stayed home

pika and i dont have the .3% chance of death

like yall do

I can't be bothered to wake up earlier than I nwould need to if I just did online everything

I have completely stopped giving a fuck

same

however this year does have one positive
