Title: Dorkeroo earned his MSc in physiology. Congratulations.
Post by: Vince B on December 06, 2006, 03:24:51 AM
My mate, Pete, in Canada just completed his defence for his MSc thesis and I want to congratulate him on this achievement. I came across him when I posted something about exercise science and he sent me a PM about it. It is refreshing to see that there are some intellectuals here who have achieved something worthwhile academically. He informed me he is attending medical school next month so any PhD will have to wait. He is a modest bloke so doesn't want me to mention his name. I can tell you he is definitely no dork! He does like to be lighthearted most of the time while on this site.

I know many feel university degrees don't mean much, but go and see if you can get a MSc degree. I think that would be beyond most people here.

Team Goodrum is committed to assisting the promotion of Vince G CSN MFT. We would expect some appreciation for our efforts!

Anyone who can obtain a MSc in exercise physiology has accomplished something important. Most of the posters on this forum could not read the research in that area because the vocabulary is new and difficult. I would rather discuss hypertrophy with someone like Pete than with the uninformed multitudes on muscle forums. Pete had to present his thesis and that meant he had to come up with some new research or findings. This is not an easy thing to do academically.

Well, I don't think you would see eye to eye with any real scientist... since you ignore the science that is already there re exercise. All you do is post some vague ideas about DOMS causing muscle growth.

Hey Vince,

Thanks for the props ;) I have to tell you I would never be able to do this twice, however, from what I have been told, doing it once is worth it. Maybe someday when Adonis learns to read I will send him a copy ;)

As for what the thesis is about, it is not so much about exercise science, but cancer immunology. I guess I wasn't clear on that when I initially told you what I was studying. Anyways, it isn't very exciting and is mostly molecular chemistry (which itself once understood is really applicable across other disciplines like physiology and other life sciences). I still appreciate the well wishes and hope everything is good down under!

Hey Keith, there is no way I will ever get more letters after my name than Goodrum. I don't think the letter "a" as more letters after it than he does :P

Thanks everyone else for the kind words. I'll have to let you know what med school is like once I start. It should be interesting.

No worries,  Pete. I was amazed that no one guessed who got his MSc. Those who have not attended post graduate university often dismiss what goes on there. I realized once I posted that I should have mentioned physiology so I am glad that you mentioned your thesis subject. Can you explain in layman's language what you found out? The lads here have no idea how difficult your subject is. They could not comprehend any of the research, either. Well, maybe a few could. The biological sciences have made a lot of progressed in the last decade or two. It is something I should try to read more about. You are right that the language goes across the discipline and without it one is completely at a loss when trying to read that research.

Where are you going to medical school? I attended McGill in 61-2 and U of Toronto in 65. Lots of good universities back east in Canada.

Hey Vince,

The title of my thesis is "Functional Interactions Between Raf-1 and PKC Regulate Cytokine Expression in THP-1 Cells".

In laymans terms I suppose I could say we saw that two proteins within leukemic cells interacted possibly within the scaffolding protein 14-3-3 similar to when Paulus et. al did something similar in 2000 (I just finished some final corrections on the written thesis so those names and the year may not be completely accurate, so please forgive me for the time being).

Anyways, it is highly contextual as PKC is a very odd family of isozymes and can do all kinds of funny things. The other two are equally complex with 14-3-3 having over 300 binding partners in the cell which makes my results really just a scratch on the surface of what is going on in molecular chemistry at the moment.

As for the school I am going to, it is an American one. I had to go back to school to get into grad school and the Canadian ones won't forgive me some errors of the past regardless of when they happened. Needless to say I am looking forward to the opportunities the American system can offer and I may eventually return to Canada in the capacity of physician when all is said and done. However, there is a lot of work to be done until then.

Thanks again for the kind words Vince.

Gosh, Pete, you will have to rephrase your thesis in a language the lads here can comprehend! Even your layman's explanation is too complicated for the lads.

How much of what you have learned is applicable to hypertrophy theory? I take it that at the molecular level things are quite complex in organic systems?

The Canadian Universities are populated by American professors, etc. So going to a Yank University is staying within the broader system. Medicine should be interesting. Is there anything you are going to specialize in re that discipline?  I think Goodrum qualifies for your handle! Maybe you can work out a deal with him?

Vince Basile, why this elitism? Dorkeroo is a smart guy, and he has written a thesis on a very specific topic, however
even most academics will have trouble understanding the thesis because it's riddled with Jargon, and one has to have a good understanding of the basics of the matter. That's why he's doing medicine and is especially interested in Oncology (I assume that's right, Dorkeroo).

Show a psychologist a macro-economic thesis and you will have the same problem, etc. That's the whole point of specialisation, to be a bloody specialist, that mean everyone else is a layman in that particular field.Specialisation is very saillant in medicin.

BTW the subject of the thesis has nothing to do with hypertrophy.

Looks like some ineteresting research, I assume you did alot of immunofluresence work, with specific Ab's to the Raf1 and PKC and developed nice photos of these two proteins localized together on some cytoskeletal proteins in these THP-1 cells. I guess the next two steps would be to develop a way to inhibit their interaction by. finding the ammino acid residue where binding is occuring (using recombinant proteins - this could be very hard) or accually using the Ab's to try and interfere with their binding. But this could be a serious task if your protein has 300 binding partners. That TA is a true dickhead, your work is beyond the title of exersize science - your shyt is straight cell\molecular biology. I'm currently working on a PhD purifying and characterizing a cell-wall protein PGIP (polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein) from strawberry plants and trying to extract proteins from the cell-wall of plants is no joke!!

Or you should said "from one dumb ass to another"..... - Dickhead, if you look at his project description would will see how broad the topic can be, it covers topics in cell/molecularbio, cancer bio etc.. With his degree and thesis he could easily get accepted to PhD programs in any of these fields, but a dickhead like you and TA wouldn't understand the difference between DNA and RNA so I would expect you to show your ignorance. Like I said, you taking the side of someone that disses the shit outta you INTERNATIONALLY and you agree with him, and when he's dead wrong - tisk, tisk, tisk you still cooning it up for these white folks - your as pathetic as you look on stage.

Wow. I didn't expect to see any scientists on this board. Hey Dorkeroo, in broader terms, what is the implication or application of your research in the real world? This question is also directed to lastrep.

I myself will be undertaking a PhD in the following year in Hepatitis C immunology looking at interactions between chemokines and T cells.

I can sort of understand why you will say this TA but however posting this comment does reveal your ignorance. What you don't understand is that the intellectual and experimental skills that you develop during research and writing your thesis can be applied in any field of work you choose to be in. In addition, dismissing exercise physiology as a legitimate "field" underlines the lack of your knowledge and appreciation for the immense body of work that has led to development of programs currently used by professional athletes and sporting teams in varying aspects of differing sports. In layman's terms, you're a tool.

The PGIP has been over expressed in the strawberry plants - and we will test to see if these plants are now more resistant to fungal infection - PGIP inhibits pectin degrading enzymes secreated by fungi. This is the quick and dirty story

First off, let me say thank you to not just you, but everyone on the board that have had such supportive things to say regarding this. I didn't think anyone on here would care.

Secondly, Vince, the day I am at "your level" is the day I will shoot myself. That may come off as personal, and maybe it is, however, you have made an extarordinary ass of yourself on here. Adonis isn't even worth responding to on these boards. His comment was neither witty nor pertinent.

Anyways, there was a tonne of immunofluorescence work done during the completion of my thesis. You are absolutely correct that the use of interference peptides may be of some value in elucidating the exact mechanisms of the interactions I observed during the course of my experiments. There are a huge number of additional experiments that have to be done in order to complete this tiny picture in the huge picture of cell signaling. Furthermore, you are absolutely correct that inhibiting the function of 14-3-3 proteins may be difficult for a number of reasons, however, there is some good news: their number in the cell may be finite insofar as availability is concerned and may be a mechanism through which cell signaling is regulated via these proteins.

To those of you doing a PhD, I applaud you. That is a long arduous road and I have nothing but respect for you regarding that. By the way I am really sorry I am not mentioning everyone individually, but, after having just finished, I am feeling kind of tired of typing.

Also, in regards to the pertinence of this work to hypertrophy, there is most definetly some cross over. I understand that my project was very specific, however, the component parts of cell signaling that I studied are ubiquitously expressed in cells and play roles in growth, differentiation and apoptosis, all of which are most definetly important processes regarding muscular growth. I can not tell you how, however, these enzymes are of critical importance in tissue growth and development and thus, if understood at even a basic level, it would make reading more specific research papers much, much easier.

Anyways, if anyone wants links to rather broad reviews of the Raf-1 kinase, the PKC kinase family or 14-3-3 proteins, I would be happy to oblige. Thanks again Vince (B) and everyone else for their well wishes. To the others, keep up the good work, you make this place what it is  :D

Sorry Vince, I forgot you asked me to break it down further so I will give it a go.

In order to mount an immune response to a number of infectious agents your body employs signaling proteins called cytokines which aid in the mediation of an immune response.

In order to generate these responses a number of internal signaling pathways within the cells are used. Two very important ones, Raf-1 and PKC were demonstrated in my thesis to not only contribute to the secretion of cytokines after bacterial (LPS) stimulation, but to also interact with eachother functionally within a scaffolding protein called 14-3-3 which kind of holds them together to facilitate the chemical reaction.

However, I can not stress enough the importance that although my thesis is specific, the understanding of a HUGE number of cellular processes is governed in part by both the MAPK pathways and PKC activity, so once these are understood, their application in other areas is easier as is reading scientific papers in general. The number of cellular processes these enzymes contribute to is incredibly large and are most definetly involved in growth and differentiation of many, many tissue types.

Thanks again everyone. :)

Yes, you have written some paper but have you done any personal training, nutritional consulting with any clients??  Have you set up and established a business???  Do you have a track record of results?????



The fact is that I do and I've been doing it for over 5 years since I first started my business in 2001.  The real world is different and when you're able to manage that, then you may compare yourself to me.  Other than that, you're nothing more than someone who has a lot of book knowledge but no street sense.

Melvin, you truly are a buffoon! I could write better personal training courses than are offered out there. That is how confident I am about the things I have learned over my almost 50 years in the Irongame. When a guy gets two easy online certificates and then criticizes guys like Pete and me I am stunned. Goodrum sets a new standard on Getbig for being a knucklehead. Then he pontificates about his great knowledge and the success he has had with clients. As far as I am concerned, he should not be giving anyone any training or nutrition advice. I certainly would not hire him to work in my gym.

Vince, I am going to medical school with it. How is that nothing? I will be doing just fine in 4 years time and more than likely, far better than you will be. I am not wishing you anything bad, however, taking shots at something like this shows extremely little class.

Furthermore, I don't want to train people. It isn't what I do. Try to understand that. If you are just typing to get a response then fine, however, if you do want to be taken seriously and are maintaining this line of thought, you are far stupider than I ever gave you credit for. I appreciate the congrats if you mean it, but, you can keep the backhanded compliments/kudos to yourself.

Hey Cr. Chimps, thanks for the well wishes, I appreciate them.

Pobrecito, I may let on where I am going in awhile, but, for the time being I would rather that not be let on here, only because we have some people on here that like to "out" people and try to ruin lives over stupid internet postings.

Vince, I am going to medical school with it. How is that nothing? I will be doing just fine in 4 years time and more than likely, far better than you will be. I am not wishing you anything bad, however, taking shots at something like this shows extremely little class.

Furthermore, I don't want to train people. It isn't what I do. Try to understand that. If you are just typing to get a response then fine, however, if you do want to be taken seriously and are maintaining this line of thought, you are far stupider than I ever gave you credit for. I appreciate the congrats if you mean it, but, you can keep the backhanded compliments/kudos to yourself.

Hey Cr. Chimps, thanks for the well wishes, I appreciate them.

Pobrecito, I may let on where I am going in awhile, but, for the time being I would rather that not be let on here, only because we have some people on here that like to "out" people and try to ruin lives over stupid internet postings. I can just imagine Adonis looking me up and trying to get me in trouble over me saying he is obnoxious and arrogant without cause  :P



Sorry, I went back to school too sunshine.  Except I'm studying the field of homeopathic medicine and holistic and natural treatment.  There are too many people getting screwed by the pharm companies and its time we all get back to nature. 


I know that may give you a headache so why don't you go chew on some white willow bark or just take some aspirin.  Honestly, I would have never have pursued a degree in that field but I applaud your decision since at least it shows motivation

I think there are many intelligent individuals who post here just for fun.  When a serious topic emerges we sometimes get a glimpse of that intelligence. For some strange reason it is easy to disguise intelligence, but ignorance and dullness shine forth! I haven't met an intelligent person on this forum who isn't amused with the antics of Goodrum. The pompous obliviousness that he radiates lights up the board.


Your degrees didn't help you.... ;D  Delamonte owns your physique

Thanks Rob, Alex23 and UKpipes for the well wishes I appreciate them very much.

UKpipes, my undergraduate degree was in biomedical biology, mostly anatomy and physiology. It really helped out for the MCAT too which was nice. Good luck with your M.Sc. and I hope you have as interesting a time as I did in graduate school. There were some days that I felt finishing was more trouble than it was worth, however, I can see now that it was worth it. If you have any bad days, keep your chin up as things will improve.

Vince, good luck with your schooling. By the way just a personal note, if you want to talk down to someone, do it with someone that is actually beneath you, like maybe some blind fool that comes to you for nutritional advice.

The one inescapable fact about Goodrum is that he fears no man either intellectually or physically. The result is plain for everyone to see. Monumental reverse ownings of himself!

The photo Vince G CSN MFT posted of me is one taken when I was doing a two-hand pinch grip with 140Kg or 308 pounds. I might just have to do some consistent training to get into shape if for no other reason that to show what an older person can do naturally.

I know that Dr Chimpi is highly educated (PhD?) and so are plenty of other blokes here at Getbig. Lots of people dismiss this site as populated by dopes but there are many educated people here. Goodrum just isn't one of them. Yet, he insists of exposing his lack of sense by promoting himself instead of letting other tongues praise him!

Dorkeroo,
I too, must echo the resounding congratulatory accolades.
And pay no mind to MELVIN.
The toughest 4 years of his life was kindergarten.

Thanks very much, and LOL at the kindergarten comment, that was really funny!

Now go out in the real world and train some people.  If you can come to my level, then you might have hope my young padawan.

So you train Woody Allen..?  ::)

No, I'm just a nutritional supplier.  Without people like me around, the IFBB would be nothing more than some sub-200 pound geeks instead of mass monster.  After all, they can't get through the day if I can't give them their glass of Minute Maid.... ;)


So shut the fuck up.  You may be an expert but only as designated by Ron.  But in reality, the only expert the pros can count on is the supplier, the guy with the fanny pack, the guy to makes trips to Mexico twice a month, the guy who can filter out the estrogen in cattle implant...in other words.... ;D

Hey, :D :D :D
That sounds to me like an admission!
Can we use that confession as evidence to have MELVIN arrested and locked up?
Preferably with no internet privileges?
