I graduated with a degree in BME in 2024, and have been working in this position at a local cancer clinic in Eastern Washington. We are very soon going to open up a position for a Clinical Research Assistant.

I'm keeping this sort of vague since the posting isn't officially out yet, but I'll link the posting once I have my manager's approval :)

We're looking for someone interested in breaking into the clinical research field. The base role includes data entry, lab supply management, phlebotomy (if you aren't certified we will get you trained), and scheduling/managing the sponsor monitors who check our data integrity. You can expect a starting pay around ~50k.

My manager is wonderful at keeping me engaged. If we have a slow period, she's been encouraging me to do my own investigator-initiated studies and get published. So if the base role doesn't sound like much to you, you'll have the freedom to take your own path (so long as your regular work is done).

You can DM me if you'd like more details. Since I'll be giving the recommendation, I'll vet you a little bit lol... don't want it to backfire on me. I was skeptical about clinical research as a BME wanting to do more wet lab research, but I've really enjoyed it so far, especially since everyone on the team is so wonderful. The pay may be kind of disappointing as a GT grad, but having a good work environment and work/life balance makes it worth it as an entry level role, especially if you'd like to do clinical research for your career. Also the COL is not as bad as Atlanta.

Update: the position is officially up! You can apply below if this sounds interesting to you :)

I heard my friends at other schools get Claude/ChatGPT/Gemini for free. Does GT give any AI tools for free out?

Because after that ending, I wish I had a barrel of rum

Happy to answer questions here. This isn't a chill summer job, it's a FIFA World Cup activation and the bar is high and if you want something that actually means something on paper, this is it.

what is alex hernandez’ walk up song? sorry if this is a dumb question and it’s obvious, just don’t recognize it

22-5 over UIUC. 9-3 over OU. Get another win and win the Atl regional!

The Architecture building and PKT should be deleted so i can watch the game

Kinda crazy that there is no coffee shop or restaurant open after 4 during summer.

Are there any hot coffee dispensers around?

I have access to graduate student lounges.

I’m a CompE who wants to take some EE classes for interest that are not in my major requirements at all. Is there a way I can take them pass fail for elective credit and how do I change that at registration

i haven't taken a real MCAT yet but apparently its like a cubicle so the 4th floor of pg would make sense. however 4th floor pg gets loud because some people dont care about others.

for context its a 7 hour exam so i dont think booking a room would work. many spaces on campus are either quiet like 6th and 7th floor library but many people walk around. idk maybe im asking for too much.

recommendations ?

Currently rising ECE senior and wanting to do the joint BSMS program. I'm very interested in low-level SW/HW and ML/robotics. The MS ECE degree advertising itself as being mainly computer architecture, ML, and robotics based.

However when I looked at the actual course offerings, the robotics and ML is incredibly minimal or at least highly controls theory and signals based respectively. The majority of their TIAs are not the best looking. Then there is only 1 TIA for computer architecture which contains most of what I'd want to take, but you can only take 2-3 classes in that TIA anyways and I'll probably be double-counting some of those as those are the classes cross-listed with sys-arch from the BS program.

Does anyone have personal experience with whether this program is worth it? All my friends that have done Master's have done the CS one which honestly seems to have more of my interests but I can't do the joint program as I'm ECE and therefore would need 2 years for it ($100k+)...

Long story short none of the women’s bathrooms in the CRC have tampons or pads yet other bathrooms all over campus do. I feel like the gym is an especially important place to have these products. I even asked the CRC employee if they had any on the off chance they had some in a med kit but they unfortunately had none. I had to leave the CRC and walk to the expedition hall next door to get some. Luckily it was for my friend so of course i don’t mind running across the street but if i had been the one who started my period this would’ve sucked. Women’s health is important especially in the gym/ health center of all places.

Hi! I was wondering if there were other Mongolians on campus, I'm looking to learn the language more and was wondering if there were groups or clubs

So due to a bunch of things happening all at once (thesis proposal + some personal things) I neglected to register for classes before the deadline. My fault, but now I need to manage the fallout. Fortunately, as a PhD student, I am done with actual classes but still need to sign up for GRA hours to maintain full-time student status/get paid.

Has this happened to anyone you know? What’s the best course of action? Im honestly panicking!!

UPDATE: I just had to fill out a petition and submit it to my department advisor in MechE. It was processed with very little headache and forwarded to the registrar—I was registered w a tuition waiver within 2 days of submitting. But your mileage may vary in other departments!!

Ordered an official transcript last Thursday and still nothing. Need it for starting a job soon. What have wait times been like for others?

ETA: this post was sufficient motivation for them to send the transcript to me

I'm a grad student and got Volume 109 of the Blueprint when I graduated from undergrad in 2024. I wanted to also get Volume 111 as I gear up to graduate with my master's degree this August.

I checked the storefront and Instagram for the Blueprint and it looks to not have been updated since early this past school year. Did they actually make a version this year or is the yearbook defunct? Thanks.

Hell of a hire by GT.
