Science Education

Colleges, grad programs, MCAT, GRE, courses, and other aspects of scientific education.

  1. A.Once I make another cake, I will have possessed 3 cakes. B.Once I make another cake, I will possess 3 cakes. The building is hardly there to satisfy the needs of structure but, whatever its purpose or plan, structural needs will have had a vital hand in shaping its form. It's a sort of future retrospective tense, where one is talking about a past tense that has not yet occurred, but is expected to occur. In the case you asked about, it introduces the information that the building does not yet exist, or that some other related event is still yet to take place in the future. Would you kindly give me more examples about future perfect like such situation…

    Found the pictured item in my backroom several years ago and have had years of students asking what it's for and I do not have an answer for them. Can anyone help me, this is from Sargent Welch and has no paperwork with it. It sits at an angle and has a weight in the red portion and the red portion is able to be disattached. It obviously is for some kind of demo, I presume center of gravity or something but would like more information. Thanks.

  3. Well I'm new here and this is my first post, so I hope I picked the right place to post this. My daughter is turning 6 in about two weeks. For her birthday I asked her what educational things she would like that she wants to learn about and would find fun. She specifically told me she wanted to learn about DNA, more about life cycles (plants and animals), etc. and she asked me for a microscope. Then she blurted out that she really wanted her own science lab. I am going to give a bit of background on my daughter so maybe my questions could be easily answered. My daughter has been watching documentaries with me voluntarily from the age of about 3 1/2. She loves all thi…

  4. Hi. I am an astrophysics enthusiast and I would like to learn more, on my own at my own pace. I'm not pursuing any degree, I simply enjoy it and want to know more. I have very little knowledge in both physics and math. Since I chose to follow an artistic plan in high school, I saw almost no physics and the basics of algebra. Therefore, I believe learning math and physics would be an important steps before enrolling in astrophysics courses. So far, I've read (and enjoyed) the following books: "Seven brief lessons on physics" by Carlo Rovelli "Theory of everything" by Stephen Hawking (this one was a little challenging) "The order of time" by Carl…

    I dropped out of science and math in middle school but my son likes it. I once told him “all things, everything you see, are made of atoms” and he got excited by it. We spin around in circles as atoms and crash into each other to form compounds. I bought him a periodic table and every day he asks what this and that element are, what’s this column called etc. Any info I give is from at chemistry textbooks and general science books from the library. We act things out wherever possible to make the knowledge fun and interactive. I can keep going this way, but maybe people have some suggestions on else we can do?

  6. The Rudimentary Creations in the Mind is that of Chemical Instabilities! Such that, if any of the Biological Molecules were to fail, or become broken like a messed up Puzzle, there would be no fixing it, each of these... Molecules has a Value of what is the Functions of Chemicals that become Unstable inside the Brain. Oxytocin, also dubbed, The Love Hormone, has 43 Carbon's, 66 Hydrogen's, 12 Nitrogen's and Oxygen of 12, and S Value meaning, I could probably say, Serotonin.

  7. I am currently trying to decide my undergrad major. After looking into a couple different fields of study, I have landed on these three: -Biochemistry -Chemical Engineering -Bioengineering I would ideally like to work in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry. Which of these degrees would be best suited for that? I have seen instances of all three being utilized. Also, which degree is strongest without additional graduate study? If you could, please explain a couple different job titles associated with each degree, so I can determine which one would be most compatible with my interests/goals/abilities. Thanks for your help!

    I wanted to mention this Radio show that's been running for quite some time now and is available on the BBC site with all previous episodes accessible. It's format is a chairman and two, sometimes three guests who are usually from academia. The approach is to explain to the unschooled listener why some subject, person, belief etc is regarded as important and overall it does a very good job. Consensus is not always present but generally the panel do not get contentious. The material is broken down into categories like Science, History, Philosophy, Religion etc. These show are often thought provoking and often highly informative to a layman who want…

    I'm 61 years old and was born in Liverpool, England. As a child (perhaps 8 or 9) my mother saw an ad in a magazine to buy a set of children's encyclopedias, with this deal we got all the books at once and simply paid the small monthly fee until paid off, we were poor so this was not trivial. I was actually unwell the day these books arrived, I was lying under a blanket on a couch near our coal fire when she walked in and announced this purchase and carried in these two large heavy boxes, dumped them by the couch and left me to read, this was a life changing event for me and led to my interest in all matters technical and scientific. The books were these: …

  12. Today, artificial intelligence helps doctors diagnose patients, pilots fly commercial aircraft, and city planners predict traffic. But no matter what these AIs are doing, the computer scientists who designed them likely don’t know exactly how they’re doing it. This is because artificial intelligence is often self-taught, working off a simple set of instructions to create a unique array of rules and strategies. So how exactly does a machine learn? There are many different ways to build self-teaching programs. But they all rely on the three basic types of machine learning: unsupervised learning, supervised learning, and reinforcement learning. To see these…

  13. I am enjoying these new Feynman videos which feel a lot clearer to me ( up to now any videos I found were blurry and muffled) https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/ There is a scrolling text feature accompanying the talks which I find is a great help too.

    Hello, I'm studying for PhD in mathematics and since during my research I learn things from many areas, I have a lot of notes that are loosely connected with each other. I have a problem with storing my notes. I setup MediaWiki with an addon for math formulae, but it is very slow and kills my server. I tried storing my notes on my hard drive in pdf files, but I keep forgetting what is in them and editing them is a pain (I need to find the corresponding file with .tex source code and edit it which is more time consuming, than editing the article in an online wiki). With .pdf files, I cannot visualy see conections between the files and I need to open each of them,…

    What are the forms of energy from nuclear fission? I know that energy is transferred to the kinetic store of the products (smaller nucleus and neutrons). Also energy carried away in the form of gamma rays Is there any other ways that energy are transferred from nuclear fission? Thank you

  20. I'm currently enjoying MIT OpenCourseWare Department of Science but I wonder if there are some resource like it or even better (or a little worse, I don't know). I already tried looking up on google but you get stuck with edX, Coursera, and Alisson results loophole (which I already use from time to time).

  24. I used Fe and Zn as electrodes, 40 ml of 0.1 molar ZnSO4 and 40ml of 0.1 molar FeSO4 as electrolytes. As saltbridge I used KCl. I did not change anything during my experiment meaning that I did not switch the electrolytes after trials. I can't explain why voltage increased, does anyone have an idea why this could have been the case?
