it could be an internal organizational title, but it definitely doesn't sound like an academic position and not a part of a normal email signature either
it's possible the spray would be just as effective as gel, then - not really sure, but they're both transdermal. I don't know what doses the gel come in, and I also just don't know about how well the skin absorbs estradiol from spray vs gel - I would be really interested to learn more, though!
I don't know, the line "at this rate, the only original part of this thesis is your name" implies the issue is not just failing to cite sources, but having no original thoughts or contributions - maybe it's exaggeration for humor's sake, but I definitely did not read this as simply forgetting to cite sources. Regardless, it's so flippant and playful it feels like it was written as a joke, maybe even written to make a meme, hence it doesn't feel like a real email.
Most people chose their name, sometimes choosing a name similar to their real name, sometimes choosing completely different names. The only time I saw someone assigned a name was when their name conflicted with another student's.
I think it depends on how mushy you want them to be - you could add them with the mushrooms if you don't mind them cooking down, but if you want them firmer you might adjust.
That said, I'm no authority on how to cook curry and don't have any sense of the "right" way to approach this according to a particular food culture.
I have never worked in academia, but I've spent time around academics and have read plenty of emails in both academic and corporate contexts ... this particular one looks fake, even if the circumstances of plagiarism are common - this just not seem like how a thesis adviser would address this kind of plagiarism with a grad student
this can't be real
the context is all there ... Faith is a graduate student working on their masters thesis, in the thesis paper they included tables that they presumably color-coded (maybe different columns had different colors), and they used multiple colors such that it was "rainbow colored".
Apparently the thesis advisor did not like the presence of color and advises using APA guidelines on how to style & format the tables: https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/tables-figures/tables
+1 for abandoning sprays, gels or patches would probably be better (injections are best, I understand needles are scary, I nearly faint when I get my blood drawn, but subq injections are practically painless with tiny needles - and it's definitely something you can learn to do even with crippling phobia like I have)
yes, I go to Torrid to find shoes, they specialize in making shoes for pregnant and "plus-sized" women. My feet tend to be very wide, so their shoes tend to fit me better because they're made to be relatively wide and flexible.
but I even managed to go ice skating and wore women's ice skates rentals without issue, which I didn't think would ever work
probably the first piece was a purse I bought myself as a teenager from a festival (it was hand-made by a local).
Then it was the hand-me-down jeans from my mom that fit me better than men's jeans and felt nicer to wear.
Then when I was on my own, it was skirts I bought from a department store.
Then I repressed for over a decade and during that time I had a few drab skirts and a couple simple, drab dresses that I exclusively wore at home because it made me feel better inexplicably.
Then when I transitioned, it was all the clothes: skirts, blouses, dresses (oh so many dresses: lemon dresses, long sleeveless dresses that combine with wraps well, colorful summer flowy dresses with straps, a strapless dress that felt perfect for a beach, formal black dresses, flowery spring dresses, etc.), wraps of various kinds (my favorite were soft cotton lounge wraps), and then a few sweaters for colder weather (turtle necks looked awful when I started HRT because my neck was so fat, but a few years in I think they look OK on me now, at least not horrible).
I do have a single blazer, I wore it to a party recently with a nice red blouse and plaid above-the-knee skirt and I think it went well?
In general a blazer (esp. with slacks) can come across as masculine, so do with that what you will.
Shoes are also a struggle, but my feet really changed with HRT and now I fit women's sizes much better.
excuse the botched blur job (I used GIMP, I'm pretty terrible at using the foreground select tool, tips would be appreciated)
I wore this outfit for a day of ice skating it was super fun - wdyt tho?
EDIT: I meant to capture that the skirt has texture and is pretty cute:
yeah, I think the email is probably fake and made for internet points / humor
I have heard horror stories about how specific formatting has to be for a thesis or dissertation, though - and often those rules are very specific to a particular university or even department. So it's also possible for rules like that to be local and not from a universal standard like the APA guide.
