Sunud-sunod ang graduates ng PhD na questionable talaga ang research ethics. Meron pa yung OA makaclaim ng expertise na para bang best in all topics under Biochem sya. Ang malala, may mga make-believe areas of science syang pinagsasabi sa mga post nya sa social media.
By random chance, I saw in my FB feed a self-congratulatory post from a “recent” PhD Biochemistry graduate from UP Manila (Dr. Joshua Angelo Hermida Mandanas). He claims that he is an expert in bioengineering (and other fields) and upon looking at his publications, nothing came obvious that he has had experimental experience in these areas to be called an expert. Most of his papers were either textbook sections or reviews. If I will be blunt, his dissertation was pretty meh! The papers and techniques were very basic that it would be desk rejected immediately in mainstream journals. Nothing wrong with self congratulations naman, what irks and cringes me is yung masyadong binida ang sarili nya to an audience who are relatively naïve to the topic. Do you see a different perspective?
Hello, everyone!
I’m currently looking for a panelist who would be willing to sit in as a panel member for my upcoming thesis proposal defense. The defense can be conducted either face to face or online, depending on the panelist’s availability.
I’ve already reached out to several PhD professors specializing in coral reefs, ecology, marine biology, and related fields, but unfortunately, many of them will be attending conferences or already have prior commitments. I’m worried that I may not be able to push through with my defense this coming November, as this is currently the only panel position I’m missing.
I would really appreciate any advice, suggestions, or recommendations especially if you know professors or previous advisers who may be interested and available to serve as a panelist.
I’m also willing to provide an honorarium for their time and expertise.
Thank you so much in advance for any leads or recommendations. I would truly appreciate your help! 🙏
Is pursuing a career in Forensic Science, particularly in a Forensic DNA Laboratory, a good choice for someone with a Master’s degree in Biology and a thesis background focused on molecular biology? Do I only need to pass the NAPOLCOM examination to be eligible to apply, or are there other requirements I need to fulfill as well?
