Science Education

Hi, I've been wondering if there's any jobs you can get as an applied maths major working in places like the ESA or Airbus or some science/engineering discipline doing systems modelling jobs/calculations or something of the likes. TBH I'm just asking to gauge people's opinions/experience if its possible to get a job with maths that's not something soul sucking like working as a quant or actuary lol. Any advice is appreciated! :)

Do I understand correctly that ordinary rotons increase mass and extraordinary rotons decrease mass?

does anyone know any hard biology questions i can do applying gcse knowledge but not gcse style questions?

Hi, Does anyone have the answers to the 20201 past paper for the biology Olympiad? I am currently preparing for it and there is no mark scheme and the answers aren't online. Any help will be very much appreciated! Thank you!!!

please can i have help on part iii of this question. thanks! nsaa question 2.docx

A recent MSNBC segment called ‘The New Dark Ages’ looks into the recent banning of 54 Mathematics textbooks from schools by the Florida Department of Education, a sanction subsequently endorsed by Florida governor Ron de Santis at a press conference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrJXammBAFE The Maths textbooks in question, many of which are for K-5 grade elementary students, were banned by the Florida authorities because they allegedly incorporate “prohibited topics and strategies” including references to CRT (Critical Race Theory) - which is usually taught as a college level subject. Journalist Judd Legum who is the founder of the online Public Inform…

There is a shortage of teachers. What would be a legitimate online school to teach for? I am not a secondary school teacher but I am asking about cyber schools both secondary and post secondary schools. What are trusted employers? How do you apply? One challenge to secondary schools is disciplining the classroom. I assume the online format would correct this. But if anyone knows of teaching positions in a legitimate online school post it.

Are educational franchises a better option than others?

Looking for a grant in Earth Sciences ? There are lots. For instance https://www.geolsoc.org.uk/Education-and-Careers/Grants

The textbook, Mathematics for the Physical Sciences by Leslie Copley, which costs $100+ in a hardcover edition, is FREE for Kindle. This was the author's intent. From the Foreword:

Sorry if this may seem like advertisement but it's not. I want to start my own education courses, but I lack resources and obviously one of them is knowledge and the other is how do I get around paying people to actually do a job they enjoy doing and they get rewarded for i? My courses will be a little different than most of the other universities. I rather not give away what will make mine different than others, but how do I get around this problem? Obviously the other problems I'll face is official recognition and getting around red tape since that all tertiary providers are run by religious institutions

In about year 1400, Geoffrey Chaucer - yes, the poet - wrote a step-by-step guide, A Treatise on the Astrolabe, where he described in a clear, technical prose the use of the instrument, to his 10 years old son! A Treatise on the Astrolabe (chirurgeon.org)

Can science be used to engineer evolution so that humans evolve into superhumans?

MIT OCW has recently uploaded a new complete set of video lectures from this class: Theory of Computation | Mathematics | MIT OpenCourseWare I am 25% through and enjoying it.

Obviously the idea that the universe could have come out of a single particle, so tiny that you'd need a microscope to see it, the idea that something so massive as the universe could have been brought forth out of a single particle that tiny, is nearly impossible. I think what really happened, that scientists don't get, is that the universe emerged like a thread, out of the eye of a needle. That very first 'particle' that science teaches us wasnt a single particle, but the beginning of an ever growing thread, that began out of the eye of a needle, in figurative terms. The origins of that thread lie behind the needle, if you can imagine that. I'm talking about huge …

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-60491719 Whilst I can see the need for at least some knowledge of these subjects, I consider this approach far too heavy handed. How would a modern day Ramanujan ever get into a UK university ? Or how about someone who wishes to follow a Masters in Hairdressing ?

Hi everyone! Can you help me find literature on this theme: creating virus-free raspberry in vitro collection. thank you!

So I've tried listening to various YouTube summaries of the peer review process, but thus far one thing they have in common is that while they all point out that the peer review process involves scrutiny from people in "related" fields, they don't specify how related is "related." If for instance, your paper were on particle physics, would the peer review process include scrutiny from people specialized in other branches of physics? What about from other physical sciences, like chemists or geologists? What about people from non-physical sciences, like psychologists or sociologists? And what about people from the humanities? Likewise, if your paper …

Hello! I'm a current AP Research experiment, and my study is on the effects of sudden heat shock at different temperatures on Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast culture growth. I'm using agar plates in order to grow my cultures, and I was wondering how I would determine the number of cells present. I know that the general answer would be to use a hemocytometer, but I don't think I have one within my access. I've seen some people suggesting the use of online cell counting programs, such as cellprofiler (link below). Does anyone know how valid this would be? If not, what other methods could I be able to use? Also, how would I incorporate my data into simpler numbers? Aka, what …

Hi I have been looking at a resource, on the Royal Society of Chemistry website. This is a school investigation, to look at if toothpaste is basic, and therefore can neutralise an acid https://edu.rsc.org/ideas/everyday-neutralisation-myths-busted/4015026.article This investigation is aimed at UK Secondary aged students 11- 14 years. I was thinking, if this could be adapted for use in primary schools ? This experiment uses 0.1 M ethanoic acid (danger: corrosive and flammable) would using white vinegar (this is still ethanoic Acid ) be a good substitute for use in primary education. ? Which is probably far safer. I would guess vinegar is a much…

There is no question here, but I'd like to see comments. It is about my unpleasant experience in an M.Sc program in one of the US universities. Not an ivy league school, so relatively inexpensive. I was an out-of-state student, I guess it was even less expensive for the in-state ones. About half of the class were regular kids while another half were high school teachers who needed the degree to be able to teach in a higher education. I didn't have any prior experience in US schools, so maybe I'm not going to say anything new, but it was completely unexpected for me. The program was good, the professors were excellent, but the students... many of them routinely p…

I've started watching the videos. Up-to-date and to the point. Bravo, MIT. Lecture Videos | The Human Brain | Brain and Cognitive Sciences | MIT OpenCourseWare

What would be the mechanism for the oxidation of primary alcohol using sodium chlorate in basic solution, which is then acidified. I managed to figure out the mechanism in acidic solution, but I have some problem here

Hey Everyone, So I'm currently and IB student taking IB Sports, Exercise, and Health Sci. We're currently in our Cardiorespiratory Physiology Unit and I have a question (more like an odd thought that came into my head while listening to my teacher) : So, the heart pumps blood, and the left ventricle sends blood to your systemic circulation while the right ventricle sends blood to your pulmonary circulation. And obviously, the heart has its own cardiac blood supply to enrich its tissues aside from that, but does anyone know if Carbon dioxide or Oxygen diffuse into cardiac tissue when the heart pumps blood? is that possible? Again, it's just a weird thought tha…

Hey Everyone, Do you have any tips and tricks on setting up potometers? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I'm conducting an investigation that necessitates the use of potometers so I'm hoping to gets some tips in before my final round of data collection. Thanks!
