This afternoon, I went talk to Dr. Rosenthal about the possibility of doing my rotation in a biotech company.
We were discussing about lots of things, including why I chose to do my rotations and the drama we had last time.
He told me that he originally wanted to give me projects related to SBIR grants since he knew I wanted to get my PhD in biochem with specialization in biotech.
But then since he felt I should at least pass all the hurdles (e.g. passing all the core courses and the qualify exam) first before I started thinking about my PhD thesis, he was trying to provide me with a protective environment by only asking me do some tissue cultures to get me familiar with the lab techniques.
He was very understanding and caring today, and he even told Dr. C that he had the feeling I wanted to work in the industry in the future (before I told him so) and when Dr.C was questioning the efforts I had been putting in was not enough, he even told Dr.C that I can do things well as long as I am willing to. He said there has been a collaboration between Trevigen Inc. and his lab on 4 SBIR grants and he would be willing to give me one of the projects related to them. He even said I could go to the Trevigen meetings to get closer to a biotech company.
He presents a huge chunk of beef, which looks tender and juicy.
With Dr.C's words in mind, "Ironically, Dr. Rosenthal is the only one on this floor has grants from a biotech company", I was thinking over and over again when I metroed home.
What's the reason Dr.C wants me to go to Dr. Rosenthal's lab so badly? Without their helps, I lose all the supports in the department and is it worth it? Am I even able to survive if I choose to take my own route?
Is this it? Should it be my home for the PhD study?
How much of the thing is actually held in my hands now and how much of it is controlled by others?
Hrmmm.....I am confused.
