I also want to study chemistry in higher education. Can u please give me some guidance.. Like what subjects to choose any like what degree.. Please

Hi!

That's a great choice :) Obviously, there are all sorts of chemistry-related degrees (chemical engineering, biochemistry, medicinal chemistry...), but I've only ever studied one, so I can't really tell you anything about the rest. If anyone here studies something that isn't "just" chemistry but is close enough, please feel free to share your experience!

Personally, I think a question to ask yourself that is very important but not exactly common is this: do you want to study a fundamental science or something more broad, varied, and interdisciplinary? The answer will tell you whether to choose chemistry or something chemistry-related. I did try out an interdisciplinary degree (biotechnology) and was very unhappy with it, because I realized I was more interested in understanding a field of science thoroughly and in depth instead of skimming through many different fields without digging really deep into any of them. Which is why I switched to chemistry. So, would you rather know one branch of science deeply and precisely or many of them but more generally?

As for the subjects you should focus on (assuming you're still in school and aside from chemistry of course haha), I'd say physics too often goes overlooked. But chemistry and physics are closely intertwined and a good grasp of the basic concepts of the latter will help you understand a huge chunk of the former. Math is important too, but don't feel intimidated. You don't have to be a math genius, but there will be lots and lots of calculations (not necessarily hard!), so some level of proficiency will come in handy.

If English isn't your first language, I'd recommend paying attention to it as well - nowadays it's pretty much the international language of science (and here where I live it's actually mandatory to pass a B2 level exam to even graduate). I don't know what things are like where you live, but here chemistry is often associated with biology and people interested in a chemistry degree are sometimes expected to know biology too. That's garbage. If you go into "just" chemistry, you won't need any biology at all. Forget it.

Here's my answer to an ask about the ups and downs of studying chemistry in case you want to check it out too.

I think this got a bit long 😅 But if you have any further questions, feel free to hmu again! I'll try my best to help.

Soooooo after the new details that have been revealed about Veilguard, how do we all imagine a Solavellan reunion is going down? Trapped in the fade together? Lighthouse makeout sessions? A very sad mural dedicated to his Vhenan? My brain is infested with new headcanons.

Do you guys notice how when Shawn Fain, president of the United Auto Workers union, started planning a general strike, he did it by a) targeting his messaging towards unions with the ability to safely and effectively strike in large numbers, b) laid out a clear, actionable plan for those unions to follow (setting contracts to all expire at the same time, since many unions cannot strike while under contract), c) is using union contracts to set clear, actionable demands that can be met in order to gauge success and provide an end goal, and d) started organizing FOUR YEARS before the proposed strike date to give people the chance to plan accordingly, because it takes a really freaking long time to get tens of millions of people organized?

You notice how he didn't do it by slapping a message on Twitter saying 'hey nobody go to work on Monday, that'll really show 'em'?

#those 'monday is a general strike stay home if you can!!!' posts are SO performative and they really annoy me #like. you MUST know you can't organize a general strike of tens of millions of people by sharing an infographic on twitter. Right?#don't even get me started on the most recent one that was like 'we understand the last strike only gave one day of notice'#'so this time we're giving you two! strike is on tuesday everyone don't forget!'#like GENUINELY was that supposed to be a joke #the linked article also touches on how difficult actual organizing a workplace is which is nice #because they mention previous failed attempts in which organizers basically just handed out leaflets #and assumed the benefits would be obvious. which i think is basically the equivalent of posting an infographic on twitter #which is to say - not effective at all. Organizing is a LOT of work! Running an effective union even more so!#labor rights

taking all my american followers by the shoulders. listen to me. just because you have a more promising candidate now doesn't mean you just assume it's going to be fine and don't bother voting. assuming trump wasn't going to win is how you got here in the first place so you go out and fucking vote for harris and give everyone a fighting chance.

also if you're still in the 'they're both as bad as eachother' delirium, please take your head out from between your cheeks and consider that your options are an imperfect president and the literal worst person alive who is going to get masses of people killed. i've said it like this before, but it's like deciding between maybe getting food poisoning or definitely having a brain aneurysm. take your pick i guess but don't be surprised when you drop dead.

#ramble #sorry to keep posting about this but i am so worried about this fucking election #which is crazy bc it's not even my country #idk there's just lots of people i don't want to be horribly killed or tortured #i was really afraid when it was biden but you have a BIT of hope now #the 'burn it down and start again' revolution isn't coming you have to use your brains please #not to be dramatic but if you think harris and trump are the same you might be the actual dumbest person walking on earth #when we look back on stuff in history and say 'i would've spoken up. how did nobody stop this?'#this is how you stop it.

"Good" Acting

i have a theory that a lot of people say acting is "good" when they're emotionally moved by it, and a lot of cishet white people have a lifelong habit of not listening or empathising when minoritised people speak, so minority actors get called "bad" even when they display some pretty fucking amazing technical skill

#also a lot of female actors don't get recognised despite being fucking GOOD #that's not to say minority actors can't always be bad #of course we can #I'm just saying #sometimes #for SOME shows in particular #ahem ahem #some actors might get very heavily criticised for reasons that have very little to do with their actual technical skill #and more to do with the politics of those criticising them #also I'm not talking about me here #before anyone says that #I'm talking about some actors I know who have recently been criticised in my opinion quite unfairly #despite doing something very difficult #like oooohhh i dunno #playing two roles in the same show?#and doing it very well #displaying some amazing technical mastery of body and voice technique #but hey what do I know #oh wait I went to drama school and I'm a professional actor lol I DO know #I'm just a woman so I have to couch my expertise in cutesy self-deprecation lest people think I'm a bitch

I know those eyes.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #wen qing #wen ning #Sibling similarity but you only see it when you realize they have the same soggy eyes.#These two always struck me as a bit of a play on Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli for 'siblings who contrast each other.#But after spending a lot more time marinating on Wen Ning I actually think they are way more similar that is initially apparent.#Sure their surface level personality traits are pretty contrastive. But they both are so willing to risk their lives for what's right #Who raised them? In a story so full of examples of how parents shape their children - why are these two lacking in parents?#I imagine that Wen Qing is the older sibling and so her morals of 'help those who need it no matter who they are' got passed a long.#But how did *she* arrive there? Was that instilled within her or was it a reaction against bearing witness to callousness and cruelty?#We'll never know..the only thing I can say for certain is Wen Qing is *so* soggy in the audio drama.#She's like the ant with the bindle. It's a hell of a way to bring a previously sharp tongued character back into the narritive.#Side note: Thank you all for being so patient and kind while I took my break!#It's been a very chaotic few weeks and I didn't realize how bad my burnout was getting. I'm back and ready to keep drawing again!

the fact that they made the gameplay mechanics actually lean more on solving puzzles and strategy because her element is wisdom

#I LIKE THAT A LOT ACTUALLY like that makes a lot of sense #thats not saying link doesnt use his head in dungeons but when u play as him it relies a lot on physical ability #even botw and totk with the scaling mountains and stuff feels like smth you can’t exactly do as zelda #or at least it would feel a little out of character??#so this is a really nice change of pace I can’t wait to play it #OH AND THEY KEPT THE BOTW ZORA DESIGNS I think this works way better to tell them apart from river zora #yapping #echoes of wisdom #loz #loz echoes of wisdom #Nintendo direct

ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS A KNIGHT...

the visual inspiration for this was a combination of Frederic William Burton's Meeting on the Turret Stairs and also Bernardo Cavallino's The vision of St. Dominic receiving the Rosary from the Virgin

this was supposed to be just a one off illustration to get the thoughts out of my system, but then I started thinking about medieval politics and warfare and plagues and a castle and home as both a place of refuge, a prison, and a tomb, so perhaps they will end up as ex voto characters as well.

you may say, hey! that rosary looks like it has too many beads! it's a fifteen decade rosary, probably. dominicans are really into marian devotions. it works out.

also. spiral style stair cases. oh boy. it was that unexpectedly more difficult than I originally thought it would be to draw. the more I think about it, the less I understand them, even though I had a million photos of the stairs in front of me while I was drawing it.

⭐ I have a tip jar (ko-fi)!

⭐ and other places I’m at! bsky / pixiv / pillowfort /cohost / cara.app

#the economy and my bank account are in shambles and i ended up stress drawing this whole thing in one go #its so many lines. the next time i draw this. because i will be revisiting this composition. i want to use a different inking brush #i think. but the next time i draw this it will be with solid blacks on the stair case steps i think #hey here's a fun fact for those of you who aren't catholic. did you know that kissing the ring of the pope/a cardinal/etc #grants you an indulgence. cardinals also used to kiss the pope on the mouth. also foot and hand iirc. anyway #there are no cardinals in this drawing but im saying if you write medieval/renaissance smut about men of the cloth #you can really amp up the friction between holy and seductive with a lot of the (gestures vaguely) that.#actually another fun fact about cardinals. their fun sun hat (it's called a galero) has some fucking weird as hell fever dream (literally)#origin lore. so if seductive isn't your thing. the horror of a thing that you wear is also extremely fun #esp when you get into medieval gender performances of clothes and how they define a person etc #generic medieval tag #original tag
