my gma told me that my mom used to wake up, eat breakfast, then study for 12 hours straight. every fuckin day. and my gpa would bring her food and tell her to take breaks bc of how immersed she was. she’s literally my role model forever

In 1952, these two men, James Watson and Francis Crick, claimed to have discovered the double helical structure of DNA. In 1962, they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine.

Unbeknownst to most at the time, they stole their work from female chemist, Rosalind Franklin. These two men are disgusting misogynists. Science teachers of Tumblr, I beg you to stop posting photos of the men who actively suppressed a woman who made one of the greatest scientific discoveries of all time.

LIFE UPDATE - MAY

hi there… it’s been a while! i’ve been really busy being depressed about my exams but i got all their results back!!

chemistry: A

biology: B

maths: A

possible predicted grades: AAA

i’m really happy with these grades! i thought i’d fail these exams LOL. i got the minimum grades to do medicine in most unis in UK, which i am really happy about ! 💋

on that note, i’m going to stay active on here since i’ll be doing more studying now! (i’ve had a 2 week long break after those exams where i didn’t touch a single pen or paper)!!

💊EXPIRED MEDICINE 💊

Rasmus and Amrin - fashion doodle of the couple in 2055. Rasmus would have been 25 and Amrin 24. I'd like to think the pair would go to rave nights at the totentanz - they were a couple who raved together and hoped they'd stay together... but life never would go to plan - especially not in night city !

the way tumblr talks about medicine makes me wonder how many of us here actually have critical thinking skills

in the tags game, as a kid what did you want to be when you grew up and what changed your mind once you got older (if anything did) ?

100 days of productivity 31/100

Such an amazing day today!!! Today was the welcome event at QUB and i was nervous to sit away from my friend at a table of strangers but there were only 5 others and they were really friendly and despite not talking to them all that much, we got along well! The day was very informative and the tours I spent talking to a girl from another table. At the end of that we exchanged snaps (with the table and me with the girl) so that we could keep in contact and help each other with the coursework. Oh was it so interesting!!! I can't wait to start it!!!! I'm on the maths and physical sciences pathway and chemistry is something I absolutely want to do. I've finally decided! I'm just not sure whether medicinal chem or pure chem 😅. Before getting to the campus my friend and I found a small bookshop and they had an amazing selection, so ofc we got a book each and afterwards came back to buy more ^^ (I got Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie and The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky). Got a drink then headed on the train back. I can't wait to be in uni.

At home I was glad to hear that most classes were interrupted today so I don't have any work to catch up on. I also exercised and my legs still feel a bit funny but it felt great afterwards! I did a bit of studying for chemistry but I won't push myself any further because I've got to write this, pack my bag, brush my teeth and I want to wake up early enough tomorrow.

Hope youse had a good day too xx

“Your calculator! Thank you for lending it. It now has many badly calculated QTs in it.”

Gotta love EKG interpretation.

no one asked, but the reason all of my ocs are either healers or very knowledgeable about poisons and/or disease (or both!) is because it all relates to my special interest of All Time

Lucy has now received blood transfusions from 3 different people but hasn't had any adverse effects, yet. So, I wanted to know if this allows us to figure out her most likely blood type.

I used frequency data from 2023 because I didn't find any from 1897 and I am limiting myself to ABO and Rhesus D+/- here. Other blood types could also lead to adverse reactions, but I don't have data to do that maths.

According to Wikipedia the frequeny of blood types in the UK is as follows: 48% O, 38% A, 11% B and 3% AB. As Van Helsing is Dutch we also look at that data: 45% O, 43% A, 9% B and 3% AB. In the UK 76% are Rhesus+, in the Netherlands 85%. (The list does show the exact distribution for all subtypes but I want those separately).

Now, I thought this calculation was going to be more interesting, but I realised they are in fact transfusing whole blood. That means the blood groups have to actually be identical, because the donor plasma would otherwise contain antibodies for Lucy's erythrocytes. So, O is not a universal donor and AB is not a universal recipient. Therefore, we can conclude that are most likely all group O as that is the most common.

Rhesus is a little more interesting as the blood does not naturally contain any antibodies. That means if Lucy was Rh- she could receive Rh+ blood once but no more (this is relevant in pregnancy, check out Rh-Disease which might have been why Catherine from Aragon only had one child.) This also means that if Lucy was Rh+ (which is more likely due to frequency), she could also receive O- blood.

So, in conclusion, my maths ended up kinda boring but ultimately it means Lucy probably has O+ blood and the others have O- or O+. A is also quite likely, everything else would be a huge coincidence.

Still, even with O+ as a given, the chances of 3 successful transfusions aren't great. To be precise 0.48²×0.45=10.4%.
