I am abit disappointed and rather annoyed with my internship supervisor. He's not exactly a very nice man and in terms of sociable character, he totally sucks. Theres a general rule of thumb when it comes to doing PhD or your final year with him. The rule is DONT HAVE HIM AS YOUR SUPERVISOR.
It was already bad enough I had a lousy MSc student as a mentor. I say lousy because she doesnt even understand the principles of PCR (which actually could be forgiven) but the fact that she was equally clueless over mitigating certain basic procedures like re-optimising enzyme effeciency (i.e u put the enzyme into less optimal Temp then turn up the heat to increase its efficiency) was quite shocking.
Im upset because he promised a reference and has failed to provide one. Its actually ok if he does not want to provide but the fact that he lied to my face about not recieving anything made it more insulting. Online applications these days allow you to register your referee. They then send automated emails to your referee where they can just log in and upload the reference. Initially, I thought that these automated emails were mistaken as spam because he said he did not get anything... however, the emails were NOT recognised as SPAM because another tutor of mine managed to recieve the emails. It is thus very evident that I was lied to.
I am going to school now to remind him... I also have to remind the lazy PhD student to pass me the sequencing order form. Im really disgusted with this lab, thank goodness I was paid during my stint or else I would have been really pissed off. |
