Science Education

I am working on my bachelor degree diploma. I know that every part of university work should be scientific, but I am not good at math so well enough to make inventions or my own algorythms. Consequently, I have a question, is that allowed for a bachelor diploma to make it just like a review of invented methods? So that my work will be dedicated to some field, but the methods will be not mine, but presented as an analysis of existing algorythms? Will it be Ok for a bachelor?

Ok so i am trying to create a schedule for university that allows for me to take as many classes as possible in the fields of Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Philosophy, and finally Art Studio while also taking as little time as possible to complete them. I am going to be going to USC Columbia in the fall and I have a general idea of all of the classes that I am trying to take focusing on (Robotics and AI, Resource Development and Manufacturing, and finally Inventing and Innovating). Any help would be appriciated for how I can fully plan out all of the courses that I will need to take. I can also show my current university class list pl…

Hi, Just wonder if anyone has an idea of stopping ferrofluid(efh1 series) from staining glass... Please help ASAP

Mid-life guy with money and time to spare needs post-doc/grad student to help me in mastering GR. No crack-pot "theories of everything", just rigorous guidance on advanced topics in General Relativity. I have already 2nd yr grad student fluency with the topic. Will pay good $$ for the right person. I live in NYC, so someone in NYC would be ideal, but would consider tele-connecting if need be. Please contact me ASAP to discuss! Thanks,

what is Colleges, grad programs, MCAT, GRE?

Wondering if I have a learning disability: Every time I repeat something, I have to study it as if it were new. For example, say I'm taking an advanced level biology course. The course usually starts with a very brief introduction of biology foundations previously studied in earlier courses. Nonetheless, I will still study with the same attention and detail as if I were learning the foundational material for the first time. Or, say I am going to repeat a protocol for an experiment, I still follow the protocol from beginning to end regardless of the fact that I've repeated the protocol at least a dozen times within, say, a few months. I also find that I'm very pr…

I'm applying for USA PhD programs next fall. However, I can't decide which field I'd like to specialize in. Would anyone happen to know which field would meet the following criteria?-- 1. I'm interested in the mind. I find human beings, most notably their brains, the most fascinating. I am not interested in pursuing just psychology, and I admit I'm turned off to the field due to the replication crisis, and because I'd at least want to know the biological and chemical underpinnings behind the observed behavior. 2. I need a job that can get me going in the industry, since I need to make money, preferably in a 6-figure salary range so I can buy a reasonable house in…

Today I retrieved from a drawer this drawing instrument, called "stencil" or Schablon in German, that we used when drawing by hand (we stopped about twenty years ago). Looking at it, I noticed this strange angle 41,25 degrees. Combined with the other one 7,10 degrees. And I really could not recall why? What is so special with those 2 angles? Internet came to the rescue and I found it, but just by curiosity, can you figure out what is so special with those 2 angles?

Hi! Could someone explain how is this esbl, and why ertapenem has that zone?

Hi, I'm trying to wire a circuit that will use the high voltage lead from an old crt to power an electromagnet. I'm getting no reaction from my coil...lots of juice, no magnetic field. Is it an AC thing? I thought the hp leads on crts were dc. Just in case I took a high voltage diode from a microwave and fit it in, but it made no difference. What are my options? Many thanks for your replies. Ernie

Hi, Say if I want to "Start a Project" on url deleted what steps should I take to help me figure out a scientific project to do? I am worried about choosing a redundant project. Is there a way to avoid choosing a redundant project? Thanks for everyone's comments!

Hey, For three years now I've been working on a website that teaches physics: PhysicsIsBeautiful.com. We take a much more "gamified" approach to teaching physics, and it's targeted at people who are just starting to learn physics. Currently we have content ranging from unit conversion, to vectors, graphs, motion diagrams, and more. We just released the unit conversion lessons and would love feedback about what can be improved. We think the tools we've built so far have a different feel than most other physics education tools on the internet. Please try it out and let me know what you think! We want to start finding real physics teachers to partner with. …

Hey everyone I have passed 12th and I am searching for exams like Olympiad that I can give so that when I reach out for a college I can fill it out in the resume. I haven't given olympiads and any other competitive exams due to my negligence... But I dont wish to suffer in the future by my poor decisions. Exams that could help me boost my impression while applying for a college will be of great help. PS- I am scoping for colleges like Stanford (I'm from India though). I know about SAT and ACT I will be doing Bsc in physics... specifically theoretical/ astrophysics from India but MSc from foreign college. Your help will be much obliged. Tha…

Hi everyone, I am applying to neuroscience/neurobiology PhD programs that would start Fall '12, and I am looking for some guidance/comments/tips/assurance. I generally have competitive spec's for an applicant, but I am missing a lot of relevant coursework; I would like to know how realistic my goals are. The type of research I am interested in is more towards the genes/molecules/cells end of neuroscience and definitely not anywhere near the psychology end of neuroscience. The problem is that I don't have much science coursework under my belt, which may limit my goals. I am enrolled in some science classes to start catching up, but I am afraid it might be too littl…

Hey, I'm majoring in microbio and I want to pursue a PhD/MD. Does it matter what type of research I do as an undergrad? I am trying to get into a microbio lab but the spots are limited, but there are some spots open in some biomedical labs. Would it look weird if I got a position there?

Hello, I know, that I have asked you guys before a question regarding my carrer and you haven't heard from me since, but I just had to evaluate all my options, but I really appreciated your opinion and I chose a few prospects based on your opinion, that I will just have to try myself in in order to determine whether I fit this field or not. Anyway, I'm coming with more direct question now as I'm struggling with writing my first own work, that has to be ~40 A4 pages. So far I got 34 pages and I just need some info on the last chapter as I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm interested in cellular response in plants, particularly: transcription-independent cell…

Hi all, This is my first ever topic. Please let me know if i'm doing something wrong. So... I've been looking around for a trusted webshop where I can buy science equipment for a school. I Googled a bit and came across a danish webshop: https://shop.skolebutik.dk (and yes, my school is in Denmark). They sell all kind of school equipment for teaching and I was wondering if any of you can recommend other webshops which sells the same equipment. Currently we are in need of test tubes for chemistry class. Let me know if any of you know any other webshops. Thank you in advance!

Hello, I'm quite new to this forum, I am currently a student in a radiography program and for fun I was wanting to try to make some x-ray attenuation materials to x-ray in our lab. I purchased a few metal oxides, Bi2O3 and Sb2O3 which they currently use to make protection vest out of, when mixing these powders together in an epoxy I noticed I couldn't get a very even mixture unless I mixed the two compounds together in water first making them hydroxides and then dehydrated the mixture, when doing so i also noticed the loading capacity increased compared to that our adding the two compounds directly to the epoxy. My question would be why would adding water to the…

This ones got me; A buddy of mine said hes gona take the exam in the states, (we are from canada), cause he believes he can score higher there this is based on two ideas americans are less educated than canadians the mcat is curved based on that specific exam lets ignore the first argument of whos smarter (i dont wona start a forum war!) but the second statement got me wondering....what do you guys think?

Am in Tanzania and am so please to know about how to make ethanol gel.

Hello, my university did not provide Whatman Filter Paper No.40 (ashless), I would like to know is there any alternative way to filter soil + HCl + HNO3 (aqua regia method) to analyze trace element using ICP-OES? Can I just use Whatman No. 1 qualitative? Thank You.

Hay guys I wanted to know if maths is part of science or not? If this forum is not appropriate please let me know right place to post this as i'm new to this forum

so I am in my junior year of high school and im starting to really stress out about college. my grades are pretty good and im in the top 20 percent of my class. im waiting on my sat and act scores but im just worried that im not going to get into my college of choice for genetics which is Clemson. can anyone give me advice? im beefing up my schedule to boost my class rank by taking as many ap classes as possible.

Hi there, I got suddenly very interested in this topic after a dream I had where a sun imploded on itself so I started to wonder. If the sun imploded, would we have enough time to find shelter before the temperature froze us to death? Would it be 8 minutes as that is the time it takes the light of the sun to reach us or would we just die instantaneously? I am not in need for any desperate answers but an answer would be appreciated. And another thing would the radiation of the sun imploding immediately kill us? Thanks, Andrew
