Where can I study/work late at night with AC?

I am in Cambridgeport. My room feels like an oven, nothing cools it down. Don't have AC.

I can't sleep so might as well study or work on my computer.

Is there any place open during the night for that in the area? That has AC please?

Advisor told me to "know my place". How do I cope with that?

Please read the post, as the situation is a difficult one.

I have been working with my PI's research group for 3 years now. I am kind of the "do it all" in it - I schedule meetings, I take notes, I set up the software for others etc.

I have been doing an internship in another institution to learn a specific technique that is related to my group's field of work, but it is not my advisor's expertise - in fact, the reason for me to be here is to bring back the knowledge to the group.

On one of the meetings, people had questions about the methodology I am learning here. My PI didn't know, so I volunteered to explain.

Later that my PI told me that I was disrespectful for explaining that, that the research group was hers, that she was the teacher and I was the student and that I should know my place otherwise I would regret it (I.e. she would hurt my career).

The problem is, she always made me feel welcome before, and as a scientist I believe in sharing knowledge and discussing things. I have extreme low self esteem and I used to kiss the floor she walked on, so I can assure you I was nothing but polite. This interaction with her was so out of nowhere that I must confess it broke me. I don't feel the same passion to do research with them as before. I don't know how to cope.

What should I do? What do you recommend?

When my dog went missing, I promised Holy Mary I would go up and down a 0.5 mile hill on my knees if we found her, and we did. AMA

My dog ran away from the dog hotel when we were traveling and, since this happened in Sao Paulo, I was so desperate we would never see her again I promised Holy Mary (Nossa Senhora Aparecida) that I would walk up and down a 0.5 mile hill on my knees if we found her, and we did!

You can ask me anything about the fate part, the logistics part, the aftermath part. I understand not everyone has a religion and that's okay, feel free to ask anything that spikes your curiosity!

>Thank you so much for your questions and insights! Except for some religious intolerant people, this has been an amazing time!
