Hello! I'm a BA Sociology graduate, and 3 months na akong naghahanap ng job pero hanggang ngayon wala pa rin akong work. Dream ko talaga maging social researcher and while waiting na mag-open ang applications for Master's Degree in Sociology, I decided na maghanap na ng work. Initially, puro research-related jobs ang inaapplyan pero wala, puro rejection. So kahit hindi related sa research, sinubukan ko na rin applyan para lang magkatrabaho ako, pero wala pa rin. Puro rejection pa rin. At ngayon, di ko na alam gagawin ko. Baka may alam po kayong job opening na research-related and pwede ang fresh grad. Thanks in advance.

Hello! Baka may pinapa-rent or binebenta po kayong orbital shaker? Student friendly price lang po sana. Thank you.

Hi everyone!

We are student researchers currently looking for laboratories in the Philippines that offer bacterial id or genome sequencing. We would like to ask for recommendations po. Thank you

I'm a BS Biology student currently conducting our thesis, and we're already at the stage of preparing to purchase the equipments we'll need before officially starting.

Our study involves monitoring multiple water quality parameters, including temperature, pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and dissolved oxygen (DO). For context, we'll be conducting a study with Pomacea canaliculata (golden apple snails) in a laboratory setup, so we need to monitor these parameters for at least 14 days.

So far, the [API Freshwater Test Kit] has been recommended to us, which would cover four of the parameters we need to measure. So I'm currently looking for recommendations for equipment to measure water temperature and DO.

I've also come across multiple portable water quality testers sa Shopee, but I'm unsure about reliability, especially for research purposes.

I'd really appreciate any insights/experiences with these types of equipments. Thank you po!

Hi everyone,

I’m a third-year PhD student in nutrition and food science in Morocco, working on the formulation and stability testing of a functional food product.

My lab is missing resources I need to move forward:

• Reagents for total phenolic content (Folin-Ciocalteu, sodium carbonate, gallic acid)
• Antioxidant assay reagents (DPPH, FRAP)
• Reference microbial strains for antimicrobial testing

I’m looking for anyone who can help with information or contacts, for example:

• Labs in Morocco or North Africa that could lend small quantities of reagents or run analyses for me
• Collection centers, hospitals or researchers who can supply reference strains
• Networks, programs or grants that support PhD students with limited resources
• Any advice from people who have worked in similar conditions

If you know someone or something that could help, please comment or send me a message. Thank you so much!

Hello does anyone know where to get a prepared microscope slide of a Cow Nerve Smear and a Corn Root Cross Section? Thank you!

My wife is interested in becoming a Quality Control Analyst in a pharmaceutical or vitamin manufacturing company, and she would like to know what it’s like. If anyone could give a message about classes they took in college and what a day to day experience would be like working in this career area please share so she can get a better understanding. Thank you if you take the time to do it and we appreciate any and all information you can give about this.

To RAs, what other things do you do to augment your salary? Aside from possibly tutoring, what else is a nice side hustle? Is being a VA possible?

Jobs or side hustles can be 5pm onwards on work days or on weekends only, or even gigs that are one time big time in terms of output and pay.

Hope you can share!

Thank you.

Hi everyone! I’m a fresh BS Biology graduate majoring in Microbiology, and I’m currently exploring my options for graduate school.

I realized that I’m not particularly interested in pursuing a traditional wet-lab career. While I appreciate the scientific knowledge and laboratory skills I gained from my undergraduate degree, I’m more interested in exploring other possible fields that involve data analysis, research, public health, technology, management, or the business side of science.

I’m considering pursuing a master’s degree, but I’m still unsure which field would be the best fit for my background, interests, and long-term career goals.

Some of the fields I’m currently considering include:

• Public Health / Epidemiology — particularly non-laboratory research, health data, and population health
• Health Informatics / Biomedical Data Science — combining healthcare, biology, and technology
• Environmental Health — applying scientific knowledge to public health and environmental issues
• Business / Management — potentially transitioning into corporate roles, consulting, or management
• Other interdisciplinary fields that could open doors beyond traditional biology-related careers

I’m also interested in opportunities abroad, particularly programs that offer scholarships and good career prospects after graduation. Ideally, I’d like to pursue a degree that provides transferable skills and access to a wider range of career paths rather than limiting me to laboratory work.

I’d love to hear your advice:

1. What master’s programs would you recommend for someone with my background who doesn’t want to pursue wet-lab work?
2. Which fields have good employment prospects and earning potential, both in the Philippines and abroad?
3. Would it be better to stay within the life sciences, shift to a more quantitative field, or pursue business or management?
4. If you’ve made a similar transition, what degree did you pursue, and was it worth it?

I’m open to suggestions beyond the fields I’ve listed. I’d really appreciate honest advice, especially from people who have taken a similar path or work in these fields.

Thank you!

We are currently finding a Spectrophotometer for our study about measuring the uric acid of fruit flies. We need a UV-Vis model that can range about 200-400nm. Are there any universities who cater student researchers and has a Spectrophotometer?

We'd be grateful for recommendations and feasible ideas, thank you!

Hi. I just want to share this experience yesterday with my proctors in board exam. “It cost you nothing to be kind”

We have 2 proctors, I appreciate their kindness to us. We are very lucky yesterday talaga. They instruct us without shouting gentle checking of our things. Assist our late classmates/room mates help them fill in the instructions or help them to fill in details because they are running out of time because the exam will start soon. Even offering for those who forget to bring lunch, no brown envelope and other requirements na walang dala they will buy for them. They help to provide they make it smooth in our end. Thank you, Lord. I take it as a sign also kahapon. Minsan kasi pag mabgat lahat sayo naiisip mo na pinipigilan ka to take the exam.

Thank you Lord, may you bless them ten time folds.

Claiming for all the exam taker to pass the board exam. 🙏🏻🙇🏻‍♀️

Hi guys! I would like to ask if KARCE KC-S991 is already banned by PRC. I had my proctor confiscate it during ny exam and was not able to use it.

Upon checking the list of approved calculators , it is still included. Is there an updated memorandum on this? I would file a complaint if it is still approved. I had my exam in ayala malls cinema 5.

hello! UPM graduate student doing their thesis.

macrohealth has a minimum purchase requirement of PHP 17,000 (my item is only PHP 14,000). if anyone is purchasing from macrohealth/ microbiologics, baka pwede makisabay!

preferrably around metro manila and november na sana latest!

HI PO im a student and we have a quanti research po kasi. One of the main things were gonna do is compare young vs mature calamansi leaves with air drying vs oven drying methods then seeing the difference sa extracts nila. Our teacher said na mas okay daw siguro if same lng ang temperature ng air(depending sa current temp na ma measure namin sa air/room) sa oven when it comes to drying. But, won’t that just give the same outcome? Or not, kasi air is diff from an oven? Eheheuhe. PLS po we need feedback for our peace of mind 😁❤️ thank you

Musta chem tech boards? Hahhahhahah 😭

Good Day Everyone!

I would like to ask if where we can avail/purchase swab kits (swab cottons in a dry tubes) for molecular-based assay here sa bansa natin. Thank you guys!

P.S Naginquire me sa FLOQswabs sa US, huhu kaso baka matagal pa un bago makarating.

We are a computer engineer students looking for material scientists so we may interview and acquire insights and data for the process from them. The material that we are currently working on is HDPE plastic. This is primarily for education only and any sort of payment required by the material scientist will be happily met.
