I have an question if you don’t mind does zip have trauma to? And does he and his mother get along?
I don't mind you asking at all!
I'll answer your questions in reverse as it will be the better way of doing it.
Zip and his mother adore one another. Zip is her firstborn child and was her only son for over 17 years. Though everyone would agree that Ziva spoiled Zip and his sisters, she also wasn't afraid of pushing them when she felt it necessary. The best example we have is in Zip's skill in playing the violin, which she is responsible for starting him with.
As for trauma, Zip would be the first to admit that he doesn't really have any prior to joining the Z-Stacks. He had a very happy childhood, with loving parents and sisters, and grew up very close with his Uncle Zorran, (now-ex) aunt, and cousins. Nothing really bad happened growing up, though he will admit to missing his home in Canada.
Zip joined the Z-Stacks thanks to his Uncle Zorran because he and Ziva thought it would be a good way to start his working life (and Captain Zero really didn't want Ziva to rejoin the fleet). This was where things began to change for Zip, but even he would admit that wasn't as much traumatic as a simple dose of reality.
Zip's real troubles began when Zorran broke up with his first wife. His uncle became very harsh with him over the slightest little thing, more than anyone else in the fleet. Zip simply took it for as long as he could, knowing his uncle was hurting. Eventually, he lost his own temper and snapped back, which caused Zorran to go berserk and attack him physically. This assault might have gone very badly had Zebedee not pulled Zorran away before he could do any real harm. Zip was genuinely frightened by this event, though he and Zorran have since made up.
Nowadays, Zip's biggest 'trauma' is the result of Ten Cents Starr developing a pretty big crush on him, but he will usually tell you this with a laugh.

Hi Dr Scherz, what were your favourite subjects back when you were studying undergraduate zoology? 🍀
Totally different than what I expected! I thought the core zoology courses would be my favourites, but in the end, I think my favourite courses were Molecular Phylogenetics, Evolutionary and Ecological Genetics, Evolution of Sex and Breeding Systems, Evolution of Parental Care, Developmental Biology, and Parasite Biology. I can attribute 80% of my enjoyment of those courses to the fantastic lecturers that we had at the University of Edinburgh, who conveyed both deep knowledge of and enthusiasm for the subject matter.
My least favourite courses were also the courses I fared worst in, i.e. Medical Biology, Principles of Ecology, and Population and Community Ecology. Surprise surprise, I am no ecologist. I should by rights also probably have failed Biological Chemistry in my first year, but somehow I scraped by with a tolerable mark.

Hit my stride on Kinkmeme 3 today, because I finally figured out an angle beyond "fuck?" And also, making Eddie miserable for fun and orgasms is my hobby these days. Seriously, though, Chrissy is meaner and scarier as a dom than he could ever hope to be (that, and she loves him and wants to braid his hair).
Also got the first ~1200 words edited on Kinkmeme 1 which I hope to post a week from today.

tgw thoughts?? top five tracks?? lyrics that make you the most feral?? <3<3<3
Tumblr media
Obsessed. In love. Screaming crying on the floor.
I will admit that this album took a little while to grow on me, I loved it on my first listen but it didn't compare to YSUFT but after a few more listens I saw the vision entirely. I absolutely adore how it continues right on from where YSUFT left off and all the references to her first album. I'm loving the direction her sound is taking, like the Brit Pop girlies will forever know what they're doing. It's something fun, something for the summertime.
Top 5 tracks in no particular order
Tgw - the SHIVERS I got when the voice notes kick in, I was sobbing (also it's very Peter coded to me and I truly could listen to a 10 min version of this)
History of man
There it goes (post NWH Peter I'm right I know I am)
Run
You're just a boy / Wendy (Gwen coded, I have such a vision that I cannot put it into words)
There are so many good lyrics on this album that she needs to be held accountable for her crimes (tho I refuse to talk about the 'with a smoothie' line its silly and fun OKAY she was in a goofy mood)
So Samson blamed delilah but given half the chance I would have made him weaker too - FUCKKK OFFFFFF
I save you a seat then you say you wanna stand
If I'm not careful I'll wake up and we'll be married and I'll still flinch at the sound of the door - I genuinely needed to take a moment after this, what did I do to deserve this?
WHEN ALL I DO IS THINK ABOUT THE PAST MAKE IT A UNIVERSE THAT YOU CAN LIVE IN!!!!
BABY I AM THE ILIAD OF COURSE YOU COULDNT READ ME!!!!
but bestie!!! Please tell me your thots!!!!

Hiiii u popped up on my dash and I saw u were a theater kid and immediately followed u
And I saw u said u did Diary of Anne Frank and I auditioned for that one but didn't get a callback 🥲
nooooo so sorry you didn’t get a callback :(
diary of anne frank was honestly one of my favorite straight plays i’ve done, but it is extremely emotionally draining. we had to do a lot of research in order to do it.

Evanescence or MCR?
hm… this is a tricky one. i think mcr stayed more consistent with their music across all albums despite their distinct vibes for each one. it’s very difficult to successfully brand that many different branches of your musical career, so i applaud them for that
despite not having the same overarching appeal (to me personally anyways— their newer stuff might be good i just have no interest in catching up atm) evanescence sold me on fallen and the open door WAY MORE than mcr sold me on any albums upon release. like, i know all the songs on revenge because i listened to it enough, but i know all the songs on the open door because i felt all of them, yknow?
so like, it all comes down to personal taste. i love both immensely as they were essential to forming my music taste for the 2000’s, but if i have to choose for my 2022 self it would be mcr. evanescence has albums with songs that make me feral at a higher amount all around, but i can appreciate mcr as a whole with their lore across their entire career as opposed to one condensed area at a more intense level (i was BIG into evanescence at that stage in their career)

Hey lady Edward have you caught the twins prank calling?
EDWARD: They've mostly grown out of it, thankfully. It's a relief that I don't get summoned to the clay pits because they've been caught messing around on the foreman's phone anymore.
The only time I ever caught them at home was when they decided to prank call Thomas after he broke up with Liora... They're so protective of their big sisters, so I couldn't be too angry, really. But I suspect that might be why they 'grew out' of that trick. Bill's impersonation of Lady is a lot more convincing than he realised...

guess who’s back :P
looking through my list, I can’t see any particular publishers marked for immunology. I’ve got textbooks that mention it (like Wiley-Blackwell) but idk how much detail I need to be studying this in, so I’ll take any and all of your recs :D noticed you’re pursuing a msc immunology so I’m sure you have a much much better idea of how this goes than me!!
also, I noticed that a lot of unis have dissertations/thesis papers only in third year. Does this mean you can’t research your topics or experiment on them before third year? :( Or are there some allowances for this sort of thing?
in that vein do bsc students do internships or help phd and postgrad students with research?? I’ve only seen this sort of thing for masters programs.
i really have to applaud your endless patience and help for a nameless icon on tumblr :P you’re doing gods work here, thanks again!! :D
So tumblr mobile is notorious for not showing all the messages in my inbox and I rarely use tumblr on my laptop so I am only just seeing this now!! I know its been like 2 months since you sent it but I'll answer anyway since you're pretty early in your education from what I remember!
for Immunology I love Janeway immunobiology textbooks, or any of the oxford textbooks by Abbas and co are great too! any books on disease pathology should also have good breakdowns of the exact mechanisms in them. I've personally never used Wiley-Blackwell textbooks but I know a lot of universities have them on reading recommendation lists!
for the dissertation:
Yes, a dissertation is taken in the final year of your degree and in most universities you dont find out what your topic is until that year. Some unis have you pick at the end of the second year so you have the summer to research. In my uni we picked at the start of our final year. In semester one we only had to write a literature review which was just us researching as much of the topic as we could and producing a paper on it.
In semester 2 thats when we put together an actual investigation and did our own research to get results and then wrote a dissertation on what we found. The research you do in semester 1 will help to form an introduction for your dissertation and just give you an overall understanding of why you're looking for certain things in your investigation!
in terms of helping PhD students, it really depends on your university, how many PhD students they have, how much money they allocate for BSc research (which is not a lot since there are a lot of us), and if their project is simple enough (meaning quick enough) to produce results that you can use and write a paper on. In most cases the PhD projects are very complex and it takes a while before they start generating results so you can't really work with them, though they may still be around to help with your project and give you good advice anyway!!
sorry again for the late reply, but I hope this was useful!!!

Prynhawn da Elanor,
I'm a student in the US currently applying to universities for next year, and I have a couple of questions about Welsh universities if you have the time. I'm looking at both schools in the US and one in Wales (I managed to visit over the summer and it seemed great, loved the town and the university, and the degree that I'm interested in is very solid there), and the teaching style/expectations of students are an unknown factor. I've been taking college classes while still in highschool so I'm familiar with college-level instruction in the states, and it's not ideal for what I'm interested in studying. For example, at one of the schools I visited that is supposed to be a decent research university, the faculty were surprised that I had questions about research as an undergrad, and according to current students, the hardest part of their studies were quizzes on botanical taxonomy. So, I'm curious, what are the general academic expectations for students (especially in ecology or wildlife biology-related courses)? It seems like assessments are more practical or long-form and less quiz/multiple choice.
This got long-winded, so my apologies, and thank you for your time!
Shwmae! Happy to answer.
SO, I shall caveat this with saying that I don't really understand how higher education works in the US; it's a very different system to the UK in many ways. I'm therefore not entirely sure how to explain the exact differences. So, I'll just tell you about how it works over here rather than trying to do a comparison, if that makes sense? It means some of this will definitely feel like Water Is Wet stuff, but hopefully there'll be an exact answer in there that you can extract. Also, if you're comfortable doing so (and want to), I'm happy to talk over DM if you want slightly more specific advice involving you revealing details that otherwise might doxx you.
(Also second point, because I have danced this dance before and I know what Some Of You Lot are like when my posts start gaining traction beyond my circle of followers: in places where I do explain something that's different between the two systems, I am not saying one is better or worse than the other. Don't be a cunt about this. Work on your defensiveness and ego in your own time. I'm too busy and important for your feelings.)
Third point: I'm snipping this for length. On with the answer!
So, degrees over here are fairly fixed in terms of content and duration. Some offer a specific, set array of modules that make up the degree; others have essential core modules, and then you can choose from a small number of options until you get the required credits. But part of choosing the course for you over here is looking at the modules that make up the degree to make sure you're getting the exact focus you want; the one I teach on, for example, has a focus on practically applying environmental science, with the result that it has a very high post-graduation employment rate across a variety of environmental disciplines. Others might focus more on human geography, or environmental engineering, or climate science, or whatever else.
The reason for this is the quality assurance system in the UK. Courses have to be validated as being the right quality in terms of content, level of study, assessment practices, etc. Let's say you get a BSc from UWTSD in Environment, Sustainability and Climate Change; that comes with a quality assurance for a future employer that you have learned a specific set of skills, a specific knowledge bank, and are capable of using both in a specific way. There shouldn't be a risk, for example, that they hired someone from the same course the year before who had the same qualification as you, but turned out to not understand the dynamic processes behind sand dunes and couldn't write an official report to save their life, meaning you get passed over for the job the following year because they can't trust that your education actually means anything; if both of you have the same qualification, then the course should be meeting sufficient quality standards to ensure that you both therefore have the same knowledge and skillset.
So that's point one!
Where this works in your favour is point two: assessment. Assessment is also rigidly quality-checked, but it means you can ask a course director and immediately get an outline of what the assessment procedures are (not the precise assessment tasks, obviously; but, report vs exam vs lab practical etc will be known).
But also, yes, assessment in the UK is extremely rarely what I understand to be 'quizzes' in the US, and extremely rarely multiple choice. Rightly or wrongly, there is a definite perception in academic circles over here - even at high school level, much less university - that a multiple choice quiz is too easy to pass by guessing, and they're very looked down on as a method to assess learning.
What you'll have instead varies between modules and courses, but I can give you an idea with a couple of mine:
Level 4: Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services
No exams: two reports based on practical field/lab work, both worth 50% of the final mark
First: dissect owl pellets in the lab from two sites. Evaluate what the findings mean for the biodiversity on each site, and suggest some future site management prescriptions. 2000 words.
Second: fieldtrip to nearby woods to take allometric tree measurements and calculate carbon sequestration. Evaluate the ecosystem service provided by the woodland, and comment on site management and conservation. 2000 words.
Level 5: Coastal, Marine and Wildlife Conservation
One assignment, one exam, each worth 50% of the final mark
Assignment: Ramsey Island has far less biodiversity than neighbours like Skomer, Grassholm, etc. Research why, what was done to fix it, how well it's recovered, and suggest what should be done in the future to aid further recovery. 2500 words.
Exam: First half is a selection of short form questions to test baseline knowledge. Second half is a 50 mark essay question; choice of two topics to answer.
Level 6: Habitat Management and Building Resilience
No exams: two assignments, one before Christmas worth 30% of the mark, one in May worth 70%
First: choose a species reintroduction project of your choice, and find the habitat feasibility study carried out for it. Critique that habitat feasibility study. Put your findings into an academic poster and present it. 15 mins.
Second: using teachings from across the year, produce a habitat management plan for a site of your choosing. You need to actually visit and assess your site. 3500 words.
(L4, 5 and 6: first, second and final year of undergrad)
The idea in each case is not just to test knowledge; it's to test applied knowledge, and to teach real-world skills needed in the industry after you graduate. If you go into land management, for example, the ability to guess the right answers based on the multiple choice pattern is useless; the ability to assess a site and write up a management plan for it, on the other hand, is literally the job you're hired to do.
So, as far as research is concerned... if you mean carrying out your own research on a topic of your own choosing, the main place that happens is your dissertation in third year. But, you can start that earlier if you want. In our department, we also encourage and support any independent research a student may choose to do, even if they don't end up using it for their degree directly.
If you mean general research skills, though, those are vital to every assignment. If you only repeat back whatever papers or knowledge the lecturers have given you, and don't research independently, you will barely scrape a pass. We actively push you to learn those skills.
And then lastly, expectations for students! In higer ed, you are now an adult, and you are choosing to be here: this means that the expectation is that you're meeting the lecturers halfway, as it were. It's a mistake a lot of new students make, if they've come straight from high school - uni is just The Next Thing to do, but to them it's basically like school, so the teachers have to keep trying to teach them even if the student barely shows up or makes any effort.
But that is not so! They are no longer pupils, and I am not a teacher.
If I say to a class "Look up these papers and be familiar with the arguments before next session because we're going to have a seminar", and then someone doesn't bother because "Whoops I went out drinking and forgot to do my homework teehee", then they can get out. They are adults paying for a particular service. I have offered that service. If they think of it as homework and choose not to do it because they wanted to go out clubbing instead, then... okay. That's the choice they can make. But the consequence is, I'm not chasing after them, because I'm not a teacher, and that's not my job. Now they aren't having that session. This will have a knock-on effect for their understanding of the topic; but that's the choice they made.
(Again, before the Pissing On The Poor crowd arises: I am, very obviously, not talking about students who have other struggles that impact their academic performance. I am, very literally and clearly, talking about the 18-year-old school leavers who are still in the school mindset, and think of missing lectures as 'skiving', and on a lizard brain level think there won't be consequences to that because so far in their life, education systems have not been allowed to fail them for that behaviour.)
So, basically... you're expected to want to learn and improve, and to put the work in to do that. Not to just be there to get the degree, but to be there to learn. Adult education is collaborative between lecturer and student. We guide you, but it's your journey to take.
Anyway! I hope that is at all useful. Let me know if you want clarification on anything, or have any other questions!
