[SC-MorphLab] follow up

[Benjamin Pomidor]

Hello Dr. Abdolahi,

My name is Ben Pomidor, one of Dr. Dennis Slice's former students.  I am sorry to inform you that Dr. Slice passed away earlier this year.

Unfortunately, it is unlikely that the Geometric Morphometrics Lab will continue at Florida State University, but it sounds like you have a genuine interest in morphometrics.  I highly encourage you to continue your studies with another lab that specializes in morphometrics.  A good place to start would be the "People" tab of the SUNY Stony Brook morphometrics page (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph/__;!!PhOWcWs!mBX4rriNtHgIYyBPfraR6hYrGPpvFx-afCKFEZr2Vfy03EPgqbK7a0AD_C7qZ6xyaA$ ) which has a list of researchers and their interests, although it is a few years out of date.

Best of luck,
Ben Pomidor

Dear Prof. Slice,


If you remember I was going to have a research visit or sabbatical during my PhD under your supervision. But unfortunately I could not do it by the time just because I did not have enough money for USA and I had to do it in Czech Republic while always I loved to be in your lab. I did my internship in University of South Bohemia, Czech republic and graduated my PhD degree in 2017. Now I am writing you in order to apply a possible PhD position under your supervision.

As a brief introduction of myself, I am bachelor of Plant Protection, master and PhD of Insect Biosystematics, University of Tehran, the first ranked university in Iran. I have worked on biosystematics of lady beetles and bee flies over my postgraduate years including geometric morphometric studies on different populations of insects. I conducted a lot of investigations with respect to different populations of insects based on method of Geometric Morphometric on wings, which made me really interested, experienced and advanced in this method in a way that I am professional user of software: TpsDig, Tpsrelw, Tpsreg, Digimizer, Mvsp, Spss, Minitab and so on.

I am really enthusiastic about geometric morphometric method and shape analysis so much that always I would love to enhance my knowledge about it and get lost in it under any name, PhD, Post doc, Researcher, second PhD etc. As the matter of fact, although I have already a PhD, names do not matter for me and I want to do just my interest, either it is post doc or second PhD or whatever.

I have been reading your articles. I have to say I love field of your work. That is why I am writing this letter to apply any possible PhD position with you. Please find attached my CV for further assess. I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you further about my qualifications.

I am looking forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience


Sincerely yours,

Rahim Abdolahi

Mr. Rahim, I am currently in Vienna and catching up on emails. I am wondering if you have made any progress, found out any more information, or established other contacts at FSU. Another Iranian student here on a similar (same?) program said she was willing to communicate with you on this issue. I believe I sent her your email. Did anything happen?

I am afraid that on my laptop I have a great period of emails, including yours, that are missing.

Anyway, keep trying (see note in signature). I am happy to help if such a visit would be the best use of your time and resources.

Best, ds
