I was talking to my research supervisor as of late, and he spinned the idea of me becoming a medical doctor. He was suggesting that I go get the medical degree. I'm currently in a laboratory building where a lot of medical doctors are performing scientific research. They don't have a Ph.D, but they still conduct scientific research and lead the research teams. I'm unsure about the idea of going for a medical. It seems like a truckload of non-sense, four years wasted studying stuff I'm not too interested in, and going into a lot of debt. Honestly, I'm really good at studying medical science. I'm really good. However, I tend to not really care about the majority of topi…

So, with the current research group I'm with, the current project is closing up. As such, I'm going to be given an opportunity to do something different. I suspect they could put me at the microscope again, but having spoken to the other guys who have been at the microscope, particular projects can be the same thing over, and over, and over again for a year and a half. As such, I don't want to be looking at the same tissue over and over and over again for another year. I've been looking layer II neurons in the piriform cortex of mouse brain. And that gets really boring after a while. True, I've gained some skills with looking at, finding, refinding, and examining …

I'm torn between majoring in human biology or biophysics. I took all the prerequisites for medical school already, just finishing Organic and need two more semesters of Physics and I'm done with the prereqs, but i need to transfer and can't decide on what to major in. I know biology will better prepare me for medical school, and i like physics but physics is mostly math and physics and no medical school prep which could hurt my mcat score and might not give me a good prep for med school, so when I'm at med school i will have to work a lot harder than if i mojor in human bio that has physiology and other courses already in it. I know I don't want to major in chemistry e…

Often there are free CNA training with the aid of clinics and furthermore companies. You need to keep in mind that that dojos and products often usually are not people who are going to be delivering free CNA lessons. To try and force exercised to free learning have an job deliver to that fact faculty and the most useful conditions they're going pay it off. Often times medical centers or sometimes nursing companies maintain jobs utilizing local community organisations that allow all of them transfer CNA college students university on cheap charges. This process computes towards companies being very popular concerning CNA staffing, and in many cases ends up really f…

So, been a long time lurker on these forums but never signed up and posted anything until now and I am need of some advice. Anyways I am kind of at an impasse when it comes to choosing something to study. I know what I want to do but not sure which degree field would be best. I guess I should first start by telling you where these thoughts are coming to better explain what I mean. I'm currently in the US Air Force as an avionics maintainer on fighter jets and am about to reach my end of enlistment(signed up at 18 and did 4 years). So college will be my next step after I am done with that. Basically what I want to do is something with prosthetics. Being in the military…

Ok a little bit of background on me. I recently was tested using the WAIS III to determine my intelligence as part of my therapy for post traumatic stress disorder due to combat exposure in Iraq. I scored within the top .001 percentile and was told the test didnt go high enough to give an accurate gauge of my intelligence. I want to clarify I am not bragging at all. I never thought of myself as smart and always learned that my frustration with other people was my fault. I am not well educated either so while I have the intelligence it means nothing without the knowledge to use with it. My problem is in studying. I have decided that I want to make something of what I have …

I have always wished to be a Tissue Engineer. In saying this I mean that I have always wanted to develop solutions to the human need for replacement tissues. I am looking at my current pathway into University at the moment and I kind of have two choices. The first choice would be to enter into the Faculty of Science and into Chemistry to then specialize in Biochemistry. At UBC, the University I am trying to get into, there is a further specialization of Biochemistry called Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology. This program seems to fit the description of what it is I wish to do and it can be followed up with a direct placement into the Doctor of Philosophy in…

Hello I'm new to science, I have always been amazed with space and the idea of how big it truly is, thats why I decided to look into further study more then just a hobby, and I was lucky enough to find a course that I can do which is a postgraduate in master of science (astronomy) however to start that I need to begin the undergraduate Bachelor of science(applied science). I really do enjoy science yet I haven't done it since I've left school (8 years). and my job, at the present is working with difficult young people in custody, a job which does not relate to astronomy at all. My first unit is introduction to chemistry which I have never done, its a basic unit but I'm w…

People don't consider it the 'real world'. Why is this the case? I'm sure becoming a professor or carrying out research is challenging. In fact, I think it's essential for us to progress as a species. Nevertheless, there seems to be a segment of society that mocks it. So why the hate?

I need a book for the fundamentals of calculus that explains shapes, relativity, and movement etc (e.g. elliptic movements). I don't know where to look because I can find mostly text books that cost a lot, which I don't want to buy. I was hoping to find some old theory books that are re-translated if they existed.

I am after some free/cheap visualisation and animation tools for explaining mathematics/physics and general science concepts. Something/things that can fairly quickly and easily make 2d and 3d plots, add text and drawings to them. Basic physics simulation/animation tools would be great, too. I have tried this in the past with matlab/octave plotting tools and getting decent animations tends to be extremely time consuming, as is drawing things in general tools like CAD. Can anyone suggest tools, or ways of speeding up the process? Which skills would you recommend acquiring (ie. is 3d modelling/someone's favourite programming language worth the effort?) Tools for othe…

If the soil is dug up to a certain depth, from vertical cross-section can be seen that the color gradation forming layers (horizons) or so-called soil profile. In the forest land that has been cooked there three important horizon of horizons A, B and C Horizon A or Top Soil is the uppermost layer of soil The most frequent and most easily influenced by climatic factors and biological factors. In this layer most of the organic materials collected and experience decay. B horizon is also called the accumulation zone (illuvation zone). This horizon has a more organic matter a little but more an element of soil leaching than horizon A. Horizon C is a zone of weathered rock whi…

Hey people, Im an artist based in England, 26 years old, so its pretty late getting into the whole science education. I am not wanting to go to university, as my art takes me to various countries, and i cant really settle in one place long enough. am unsure how this kind of learning will happen, but hopefully i will get used to it. So now i am looking to get into the reading of the sciences, i cant say i have any math knowledge of course other then logical things, my education in maths finished at 16 when i went to Art college. so i would say im rubbish in everything and need probably to start from a basic level, you could say general science and math... thou…
