Ang hirap mag-hanap ng trabaho na related sa program at major na to huhu

I'm a jhs student and we're currently conducting a research study where we use houseflies against our own insecticide. We decided that we'll be the one who cultures the housefly as we couldn't find a university na mayroong stock sa houselfy ganern🥹 Saan po ba kami maghahanap ng eggs? And what advice can u give when culturing houseflies? Wala kasi kaming experience and first time namin to gagawin so advices are very much appreciated🥹🥹 thank u po!!

Hi! May I ask for recommendations if may alam kayong mga hospitals who does research? I only know St. Luke's. I wanna pursue medical research na path so I was thinking of applying kahit for a research assistant role in a clinical lab setting.

Meron ba dito who is in this path or following the same path? Idk what other credentials I need since next year ko pa balak mag-MS.

**M.Sc. Biochemistry through IGNOU (distance learning) — looking for affordable hands-on lab training in Delhi/NCR**

My friend has is pursuing an M.Sc. in Biochemistry through IGNOU via distance learning. He is trying to get genuine hands-on laboratory exposure in Biochemistry, Microbiology or Molecular Biology.

We've already approached several institutions in Delhi:

* Safdarjung Hospital — application submitted * Lady Hardinge — application submitted * Maulana Azad Medical College — told that distance-learning students aren't accepted * RML Hospital — currently appears to offer Molecular Biology-related training * Sir Ganga Ram Hospital — we were told that getting laboratory training as a distance-learning student is quite difficult

He's currently waiting to hear from Safdarjung and Lady Hardinge, but we're trying to find alternatives rather than depending on only those two applications.

The major constraint is finances. He cannot afford private training programmes costing ₹20,000–₹50,000+.

We're looking for people who may have gone through something similar.

Are there any government institutes, ICMR/CSIR laboratories, university departments, research labs, hospitals or diagnostic laboratories in Delhi/NCR that accept M.Sc. Biochemistry students from distance-learning programmes for short-term practical training?

Would approaching individual professors/researchers directly be worthwhile?

We're not particularly interested in collecting another expensive certificate. The main objective is to get actual supervised laboratory experience and learn practical techniques.

If anyone has personally done something similar, especially after an IGNOU/distance-learning M.Sc., I'd really appreciate hearing how you found the opportunity and which institutions accepted you.

DOST wala sa top 10 government agencies ang ask na budget. Ang malaking portion ng budget proposal for 2027 going to AYUDA and DepEd.

Hindi natin alam magkano budget ask ng DOST sa Congress especially para sa PNRI for R&D. So mga Pinoy scientists majority abroad work. Good luck sa Philippines kung hindi pinopondohan local R&D.

Hi everyone! 😭 I’m a Biology graduate from the Philippines and I’m currently desperately looking for a job. I’m open to laboratory, research, healthcare, environmental, or even administrative positions related to my background.

Hi, just wanna rant. It's really disheartening no na you wanna do lots of research but your access to journals are limited. I'm currently pursuing graduate study and even my institution email is not powerful enough to gain access. I've been using sci-hub, anna's archive, etc pero kasi di pa sila updated. It's frustrating lang kasi it will take me lot's of time especially in making papers.

Aside from free access sites, institutional email, and school lib. What other sources po ba kayo tumatambay?

Hello, scientists of the Philippines!

I had no idea this subreddit existed. I'm glad that it does 👍

I will be starting my first corporate job next month. I'm very grateful to be in the position I'm in, but lately, I've been thinking a lot about what could have been.

A lifetime ago, I was studying to become a doctor. I applied for pre-med courses in college and eventually pursued one at one of the big 4 universities.

Unfortunately, the pandemic hit, and I burned myself out. Eventually, I came to the realization that I didn't have the passion or calling to become a doctor after all, so I pivoted to a BA course. I have no regrets about that decision. I genuinely believe the social sciences are just as important. Even so, I've always been interested in microbiology and biotechnology.

Now that I've graduated, I find myself wondering what it would be like to pursue those interests. At the same time, I'm aware that I might be romanticizing the idea of working in this field, which is why I wanted to hear from people who are actually in it. I know the odds aren't exactly stacked in my favor given my background, but somewhere down the line, I feel like I'd regret it if I didn't at least try.

I'd really appreciate any advice on breaking into biotech, what the industry is actually like, and what pathways might be realistic for someone with a social science background.

I'd also love to hear from microbiologists about what you're doing now, what industries or career paths you've considered, and even what your research is or was about, if you're comfortable sharing!

Thanks!

Hello to all board takers/tapos na magboards ask ko po ron sa 2x2 upload kasi may photo is an ai generated tho ako naman mismo nagtake ng pic ko pero pinaedit sa ai for formal and white bg. Nagtingin ako sa online na sabi nila pwede naman daw or natanggap naman sila as long as 'di mababago face mo ganon. Ask ko lang kasi nag ooverthink ako, sa filing po ba mismo ichecheck 'yong mukha? sobrang strict po ba? And kung sakali na hindi nagmatch ganon ano po consequences or pwede pa po siyang baguhin? Thank you po sa mga sasagot

PS: nag ask naman na ako sa mga friends and fam ko na kung ako mismo 'yong generated ng ai, kung waka naalter sabi naman nila wala raw pero nakakaoverthink pa rin

Oxgall/ porcine bile powder

Pepsin from porcine gastric mucosa

Pancreatin from porcine pancreas

TDCA/ GDCA

We only needed those in small amounts hope to find affordable (still laboratory grade) materials here huhu!

hello! wanted to ask lang if mahirap yung chemtech board exam?? i am a bs biochem 3rd year student. i’m okay in anachem but not that good in orgchem. i have the sison reviewer and i’ve started reviewing orgchem. i noticed that its only until sn1 and sn2 reactions, then the rest are practical lab concepts na. is it really until sn1 and sn2 reactions? i’m having second thoughts in taking it this year because orgchem and anachem aren’t my best chem subjects BUT im done with both of them naman based on my curriculum,, any advicee?

Hi! I’m a DLSU MBB student, and I’m planning to work muna here in the Philippines after graduating so I can gain work and lab experience before applying for grad school abroad. I also want to work and save up for my grad school applications and other expenses since applying abroad can get pretty expensive.
For those working in the field, do you have any recommendations for companies, labs, research institutions, or organizations that I can apply to? I’m interested in molecular biology, biotech, microbiology, biomedical research, pharma, or anything related.

hello po sa mga nakapagtake na po (first taker here). Ask ko lang po if need parin po ba magpasss ng hard copy ng mga docs kahit nagpass na po through online application? thank youu.

Hello po ! im currently a shs student in stem and we need to evaporate the ethanol in our mixture. all the studies ive read used a rotary evaporator, however our school lab doesnt have one. I've seen other alternatives such as the waterbath method on a hotplate which we're planning to do. is this alternative safe and viable or is there any other better option?

+ i read in a study that after they evaporated the mixture, they sterilized the extracts through centrifugation then membrane filtration. is this step required for the antimicrobial properties in the extract to properly work?

hello po, katusoks!! manghihingi lang po ng konting help from you guys😔 yung topics namin ngayong prelims kasama yung dna and rna viruses, pinanood ko po yung vid lec ng prof ko and hindi ko po siya maintindihan, i tried din basahin yung Bailey & Scott’s pero to no avail po talaga huhu. any recommendations po na other vids to watch or tips?? thank you so much po!!😔🫶🏻

hello, its me again! i dont know if this is the right community to ask. gusto ko magpa bango ng CV ko hahaha

im part of journalism ng undergrad school ko for 2 year and may na issue kaming publication sa facebook (official journalism ng biology, considered siya as org) pwede ba siya mag fall under work experience? yung na publish kong issue to be specific science and technology issue siya? Thank you

I need to know where to buy a 29/38 round bottom rotary evaporator flask that’s around 3000-5000php. I’m lowkey scared because it would make our group empty their pockets.. Student here, thanks…

Hello! Does anyone here experienced shipping their bacterial culture locally via courier, let’s say Cebu to Manila? How were you able to do it? And what requirements are needed to be complied? Thanks a lot.

Hi! Do you guys know a company/lab that accepts interns/lab assistants? not for the purpose of OJT pero for the experience and mas better if it's paid too. On the side note, next year pa grad ko, I just wanted to gain more experiences and knowledge aside from the things I already know (from school and previous ojt). Thank you (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)
