Science Education

Hello, I am a new poster. Like several other posts I have seen on here, I am a current social science major that is in the process of switching to a "hard" science. Unfortunately, I am a senior and just figured out what my passion is. I am new to the sciences so please forgive me for not knowing the exact specifics of what I want to study. I do know what I am interested in and want to study. That leads me to my question. I am interested in genetic engineering. I would like to learn about manipulating DNA and engineering existing DNA. Cloning is also interesting. What degree would best suit me to pursue? I have read a lot online but get general answers. I have narrowed…

Hi! I am a Junior in high school and I am wondering what college I should go to. I am interested in Biotechnology, Bioengineering, and Forensic Science. I have a 3.5 GPA and I am taking the SAT and ACT this year. If you know what test scores they require that would be nice to include. I am open to any college.

Hello. Maybe it's a very different post, but i don't know where to put it I'm a java developer from spain. I'm thinking about go to London one year to work and to live a new experience, but i know my english isn't good. I'm searching for someone to make video conferences and to practice my english (maybe someone that want to practice spanish, so we can speak in spanish sometimes and in english others). Why i put this post here? Because i don't want practice conversation only to communicate with other person, i want also practice technical conversation (is neccesary if i want to have a job at London). Well, if someone can help and is interested, please, contact me. Reg…

I have a poll already set up here http://www.yourfreepoll.com/gducyruzsp.html Feel free to to explain your thoughts as to why you believe this as well. Is there is any way to quantify this? Also, I'm not knocking anyone's choice of major fyi. If all other things are equal (student's intelligence, quality of professors, the college/university, etc) which academic major would be the most difficult for someone to complete? The options are in the poll answer options.

So, I know for a fact that I want to major in Psych. I would love to be a psychology professor at a university. I'm only a jr in high school now, and originally I was going to minor in business as a fall back. However, I've always been a huge fan of physics, though I've never taken a physics class yet. I've taken all the sciences, bio, chem, and this year I'm going to be taking an ap bio class. Should I take a physics class? I love thinking of quantum mechanics and stuff, but I would really want to know whats ACTUALLY going on. I can understand some of the concepts but not all of it. Now I don't really like math, like geometry and basic algebra, but could that change? Any…

Hello! I am finishing up my AS this semester, and trying to decide where to go next. I have my college choices narrowed down for specific programs, but I cannot decide between pursuing a BS in Biology or Environmental Science. I don't really have a career choice made just yet, but I will tell you a few things about myself so someone may be able to help point me in the right direction, or at least give some ideas where either degree could take me. -I need to be physically engaged; I cannot sit all day -I really enjoy thinking, or being mentally engaged -I LOVE to be outside -I have a strong passion for both animals and preserving/learning about our natural world …

While Wikipedia is a great place for information the fact that it's editable by anyone means it's not reliable, experts and ameteurs alike can add their comments to an article and it's not always unbiased. While there are links to sources at the bottom of most articles it's usually cited as an unreliable resource. Taking into account the above, how can you varify anything on the internet as a reliable resource? is Physorg.com reliable? how can you tell something has been peer reviewed or that the same information is generally accepted science? what about Howstuffworks.com too? I find that very informative but without a research background I find it difficult to tell. …

Alright, I decided to try out working in a lab. I'm faced with the choice between several labs I know little about besides what little I'm able to glean off the net. Its far from certain that any will take me but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. I'm interested in bioinformatics/computational in the context of biomedical type work. Unfortunately bioinformatics/computational stuff is the kind of thing that is too new to have many practitioners in most academic institutions. There's one place which focuses on computational studies and evo morphology. Not really interested at all in the evolution part. There's another place that fits the bill but from r…

Hi, im 17 years old and the only thing i want in life is to be a doctor, a physician...the thing is ive basically screwed up my first few years of highscool...as in, ive failed a few classes, and i averaged Ds and Cs........it was mainly because of an abusive houshold situation and drug problem i have pulled out of finally... i really want to be a doctor more then anything in the world and i would do anything i can to become one....my parents tell me i will never become one because of my past grades, and same with my friends. i havnt spoken to my councilor but i am assuming that she well either say i can or cant, without giving me much help... i need to know the b…

I found the Lectures from this former MIT professor to be very enlightening. I recommend these lectures for anyone interested in teaching math and science at any level. These Video Discussions are excellent and I would welcome anyone who viewed them to respond to this post with comments, discussion or debate. Please do not comment with out watching the videos. I am specifically interested in response to the postulates in the video from MIT.

Hello science community. I recently have decided that I wish to conduct a lab on what happens when you are deprived of sleep. The reason I decided to do this is because on my ACT package(I got a 22, my reading was a 19, science 23, math 25, english 22) it said that I should consider doing an experiment to give me a better understanding? So I naturally thought of sleep, because many things like insomnia and the such are present in the world. How I will do it: I will most likely only do this once, but I may try to do it 3 times over the summer as according to the scientific method the more times you repeat it, the more accurate your data. Also this will be done with m…

Hey guys. I'm a high school senior, and I want to get into the environmental field. I'm interested in and passionate about conservation, and I want to make a difference given the threats of global warming, species' extinction, etc. Haven't really found what I want to focus in, which isn't a big concern because I have a lot of time left. Right now, I'm trying to figure out what I want to major in for college, and I'm somewhat confused. The college that I want to attend has a biology major with an environmental focus. But, I've read online that, because of how many pre-meds take a biology major, it really has no value anymore. I'm willing to earn a masters degree after coll…

I need some novel ideas that will help me stand out on an application to the University of Chicago, preferably within a year of today. Can anyone help me? My Highschool grades blew, and my first shot of college doesn't look too good either, but, I'm back in college, getting some of the basics out of the way. I'm looking to get a Bachelors in either Astrophysics or Cosmology, and can readily grasp the concepts of some advance sciences, but not the Mathematics, not yet.

First I would like to say hello to everyone, i have been reading on this site for a few days so i decided to join and i really enjoy the feedback that you guys give out, so I'm hoping someone could help me out so i am a little confused as to waht to do. right now i am goin to school to be a surgical tech. I am in my third term and my gpa is a 3.67. The more i go through school the more i feel like i want to become a surgeon. I still want to be a surgical tech, but I fell like I don't want to be one forever. I have started looking at what classes i have to take to get into med school (like chemistry, physics, calc,etc). Right now i am attending a business & techn…

Hello, I am currently going to be a Junior in high school and about now is the usual time for college talk. I have been doing a little research on my own, and it may be a little early, but thats just how i am. Anyways, the reason i am posting is because i can't decide yet on what i want to study. now i know... its a little early, but still, i want to get a head start so i can change my mind in time if need be. I love chemistry. its what i love. but i also love doing things, changing peoples creations, and problem solving. and that is why i am stuck between studying chemistry, or chemical engineering. please if you could give me some advice that would be very nice, ie what…

Hi, I'm new to the site. I was curious if I could get any input from anyone about a course of study. A little background. I graduated from Texas A&M with honors with a BA in English. I deeply regret this. I HATE English. My original goal had been to be a literature professor...and then I realized I hated literature. I got into philosophy which brought me 180 degrees around to a passion for science and math that I had once had when I was younger. I'm now 25, and I'm going back for a second bachelor degree and then after that into a Ph.D program because my ultimate goal would be to be a researcher. Unfortunately, there are too many things that catch my interest, and bei…
