I've had an epiphany about my masters. I'm not gonna do bioinformatics. It's not for me, I can't see myself doing it for the rest of my life. I really don't want to. It fills me with dread. SO, I'm going back to my first idea, the reason for me wanting to study biology in the first place. Marine microbiology!! The thing I have added though is that I'll take some bioinformatic courses along with it to be ✨️extra✨️(let's not forget I've already taken bioinformatic courses)

ok but soona is most seriously cool. like i do assume her being both a physicist and a programmer is more, like, a self-referential thing (like ohhh reality is a video game woahhh) but also smiiileee... blushes and giggles and twirls my hair... scientific computing rise up.

after several inexplicable errors I have finally succeeded at making a machine Learn

[shroomsnail]

starting to doubt my interest in the project i accepted to take over.... the more i hear what others are doing and planning to do, the more i understand what ive always been interested in.... i feel really bad to have to bring this up to my supervisor after 2 months of organising etc. but better now than once i actually start my masters? ;-;

Data-Driven Discovery - How Bioinformatics Empowers Biotechnology Research

What is the significance of bioinformatics in analyzing biological data? How do bioinformatics and data analysis companies contribute to biotechnology research? Bioinformatics plays a crucial role in analyzing biological data and has become an integral part of modern biotechnology research. Here are some key aspects of its significance and the contributions of bioinformatics and data analysis…

why do the people who are best at something never want to do the thing? like i want to go into showbiz, i'm a mediocre singer

my FRIEND HOWEVER GORGEOUS VOICE BUT NO, SHE WANTS TO GO INTO BIOINFORMATICS

I have class and an exam tomorrow! It's 1:30 am and I am drinking orange liqueur

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

a bioinformatics conference? what do you DO outside of writing o:

Not all that much to be honest. I used to be in biotech but then I developed a stress-triggered heart condition that could only be managed by quitting and fucking off into the Australian desert for a couple of years. Now I write scifi and feed chickens.

⚗️ 07.02.2024 [😴] // Still really tired but I managed to :

go to my 2 hours history of the pharmacy lecture in the morning (it was about the alchemy and Paracelse! Really cool even if strange)

go to my bf's lectures I really really wanted to study but wasn't accepted into for administrative reasons (still we were 10 to attend the lecture, nice) in the afternoon. It was mostly interesting as it is genetic bioinformatics but I'll be honest I was bored at the end ahah

forgot to take pictures of any of my notes. I find it a bit embarrassing to take pictures of what I'm writing for 5 hours in front of people so I often forget to do it :((

Then I went home and did my "bullet journal" all the evening (it's really just me writing stuff and counting my sleep hours ahahaha)

Hi there! I hope this doesn’t sound antagonistic (I’m not trying to be, just playing the devils advocate. Also, my background is more in bioinformatics, so I’m not sure if that counts as “layman” or not, but I do handle a lot of data and databases) but a lot of blowback regarding AI stuff is the sheer desperation a lot of artist feel regarding the scraping of art. Work really has dried up for many artists directly as a result from AI, and it doesn’t help a lot of studios have been laying off people. The people at the working at Nightshade and Glaze understand it’s not a perfect tool or solution, but, like they clarified before, it does provide some friction and it’s still being worked on. Personally, I would also like some of the energy directed to making some legislation happened, but it’s going to take time and a concerted movement before that happens.

May I ask what are your thoughts on this? I would love to hear more from you! I think most of the time people act rashly is from desperation more than stupidity.

any "legislation" around AI art would take the form of corporations using this as an opportunity to expand IP and copyright law in ways that would only benefit them (corporations) and directly harm everyone else, including independent artists

the Luddites were wrong

FAIR AND SQUARE › lhs (TEASER!)

SYNOPSIS › one thing about life— it's unpredictable. for example, you made a note to yourself about not associating too much with heeseung for your own peace of mind, letting him stay as the academic rival slash classmate that he is, instead of allowing him to be something more, except one thing leads to another and you find yourself face to face with the said man with your feelings all over the place. a lowkey confession leading to a mere competition, let the game begin.

WORD COUNT › teaser is 0.5k, i'm expecting 10k-15k for the fic

GENRE › academic rivals / friends to lovers, mutual pinning because they're just competitive and oblivious ft in denial

WARNINGS › none here i think

NOTE › me writing another long fic for heeseung but r we surprised? no. im like . 42% into the fic so we hope and pray that i manage to get the whole thing out by the end of next week. send an ask/comment to join the taglist :) oh, and both heeseung and the reader are pursuing for masters in biotechnology ( bioinformatics to be more specific but they're very different ) omg omg also i was rereading this w foreshadow playing and the chorus came in as soon as i reached the end like that's perfect timing yes 👍

“i like you,” and so, he lets his feelings win for once, deciding to let his heart take control instead, closing doors to any room for rational thinking like it never existed. “you said it was about timing, about trying hard enough and having only a few chances, perhaps, just one bullet, and i’m shooting my shot right now. i don’t want to remember you as a closed chapter of my life,” 

your mind goes blank.

heeseung is someone you planned to stay away from for the rest of your university life. him stepping into your life already costs you a lot, namely: dropping in ranks and losing your infamous title. his actions cost you the time you could use to study, which is actually upon you because you can simply ignore him instead of spending hours on thinking about his how's, when's and what's. heeseung was supposed to be the academic rival slash classmate that he is, instead of allowing him to be something more, but beyond rivalry, feelings, etcetera. you knew the way you felt about him, even though you couldn’t be as certain as him, or even to claim you see him the same way he feels about you.

turns out, heeseung has always been sure of certain things in his life. 

“heeseung, i’m—”

“not sure? busy? stressed? i know you have a lot of things going on right now. take your time, study for the finals, finish your papers, sort out your own issues and then come back to me. i’ll be waiting,” it’s like he’s not only good at studying but also at reading minds, because heeseung seems to have guessed a part of exactly what you’ve been thinking. call it timing, jay calls him to get back to practice just a few seconds later— a perfect excuse to leave. “looks like my break is over,” 

you sit speechless, watching him walk away like an opportunity that just walked out of your hand. it feels like a slight defeat, like a test you failed when you could've scored better, if not a full score. it's funny because this wasn't a competition, you weren't rejected, more like you rejected him, but it still feels like he has the upper hand. it's funny and equally annoying because heeseung is supposed to be nothing more than just a nobody, somebody you aren't even supposed to spare two thoughts on, but here you are sitting with the guy with your feelings all over the place. 

“heeseung,” you stand up, your voice making him turn to look at you, both of you ignoring the sight of his teammates standing motionless in their positions, too stunned at your voice reverberating in the almost empty court. “let’s do this: if you manage to stand first in the finals, i’ll date you,”

a lowkey confession leading to a mere competition. his lips morph into a smirk, the ones he'd pass you before tests, an open challenge offered directly to you. “and if i don’t?”

and you mirror the same smirk back at him, you weren't going to back off simply because it's about the person you possibly have a crush on. “i become just a closed chapter of your life,” 

let the game begin.

❥ ୧‿︵ hello!

i decided to create this account so i can have space to share the things i'm passionate about. i'm 25 and have been through four different colleges (five now, if you count what i’m currently studying), some because of pressure from my dad, others out of pure fear and self-sabotage. now, i've finally found the path i want to follow. but people around me kind of don't believe anymore. i don't blame them, though. it just hurts to speak so enthusiastically about something and only be met with a few half-hearted smiles that say, "she'll change her mind later."

i’ studying for an associate’s degree in communication. and also started a major in computer science (distance learning). as soon as i finish both, i intend to pursue my biggest dream: becoming a doctor.

for many years i believed that everything i learned since i exited high school was worthless, that i was just wasting my time, but now i understand that all my knowledge was built for this moment.

i dream on researching the fields of biomedical engineering, bioinformatics, and neuroscience. and i want to bring you along with me on this journey.

i know my path is nothing traditional, and i hope one day i can talk about it fully to anyone who wants to listen, but i know i'm on the right track, for the first time in my life.

hello and welcome~
