[ 20th april, 2024 • DAY 69/145 ]

found it really difficult to focus, but still managed to get started on some things thankfully

-> lunch with my family

-> continued working on the CG notes + reading

-> more more more Klara and the Sun

-> drafted CG project (it's harder than i thought..)

[ 21st april, 2024 • DAY 70/145 ]

got enough time crystals on the Forest App from the current event to unlock this tree i've been dreaming about! the wishing tree is so cute, i'm happyy~~

-> finished drafts of the CG project + cleaned up the sketches somewhat

-> lunch with my family

-> meeting to discuss the CG project and our approach (my colleagues mostly liked my 1C model but it have to redo 2C + calculate coordinates)

-> watched Dungeon Meshi ep 16

[18 - 25 April] - this last week:

🌱 Didn't post much bc i was feeling ✨anxious✨ most of the time. yey! 🙃 My project coordinator is being a mess, which is making me worried bc my project "class" is worth double the credits of my normal classes. But, oh well, it is what it is🙃🙃

🎤 Yesterday me and my friends accidentally joined a quiz night (we just went out for dinner and apparently that day there was a quiz night in there lol), which was super fun and made me feel way better.

we ended up in terrible positions: M - 54, me - 55 (which i found hilarious bc it's basically my birthday date lol), J - 73, of like 110 ppl. BUT TO BE FAIR, the wifi was terrible and we lost some bc of that😅😅

🍝 today im going to have lunch with my parents, my sister and her bf, which is going to be fun. Just hope my impending headache is gone before we get to the restaurant

• Completed two online tests today and studied some Anatomy. I tried working on the report for the first physics lab I did but there’s so much info I don’t have and things I don’t understand haha. I’ll try again tomorrow morning. Also studied at the library for the first time in a while.

• I always think that watching a cartoon during my study breaks and while I eat would make it easier to stop and get back to work. But anything becomes captivating once I have to study. I’m enjoying Ninjago way more than I did when I was a child lmao.

• The past few days have been filled with hail and the thickest clouds ever but the sun finally came through today. Not too excited about the impending heat though.

• I sketched a lot today and I enjoyed it more than I usually do. I even tried drawing with a pen, which I find very daunting, but I made the mistakes, moved on and tried again. Very proud of myself for not dwelling on it too much.

#you know when you’re writing exams #and you look back and wonder what you were doing instead of studying?#I’m definitely in the time frame that’ll be under scrutiny #everytime I remember that my chest aches a bit lmao #haha #ha #studyinspo #university #study motivation #study #studyblr #studyspo #study hard #study tumblr #productivity #stem academia #stemblr

None of my teachers are abiding by dead week, but my insomnia is finally on the same page with me so all nighters are easy. I’m confident in my stats class, and will be better for my bio class once I get through the up coming quizzes

Hello! There is a project in my sociology class for college that requires interviews! As someone with disabilities (physical and learning) and is in STEM myself (neuroscience major), I really wanted to do my project on this :D! So, if you have the time and identify with being disabled please fill out this form! It is completely ANONYMOUS! As for what is STEM, I am accepting anyone that is studying and/or has a job relating to the STEM field including social sciences. Hopefully it should not take too long to fill out!!! I would be SO appreciative!

OKAY THIS ARTICLE IS SO COOL

I'm going to try to explain this in a comprehensible way, because honestly it's wild to wrap your head around even for me, who has a degree in chemistry. But bear with me.

Okay, so. Solids, right? They are rigid enough to hold their shape, but aside from that they are quite variable. Some solids are hard, others are soft, some are brittle or rubbery or malleable. So what determines these qualities? And what creates the rigid structure that makes a solid a solid? Most people would tell you that it depends on the atoms that make up the solid, and the bonds between those atoms. Rubber is flexible because of the polymers it's made of, steel is strong because of the metallic bonds between its atoms. And this applies to all solids. Or so everybody thought.

A paper published in the journal Nature has discovered that biological materials such as wood, fungi, cotton, hair, and anything else that can respond to the humidity in the environment may be composed of a new class of matter dubbed "hydration solids". That's because the rigidity and solidness of the materials doesn't actually come from the atoms and bonds, but from the water molecules hanging out in between.

So basically, try to imagine a hydration solid as a bunch of balloons taped together to form a giant cube, with the actual balloon part representing the atoms and bonds of the material, and the air filling the balloons as the water in the pores of the solid. What makes this "solid" cube shaped? It's not because of the rubber at all, but the air inside. If you took out all the air from inside the balloons, the structure wouldn't be able to hold its shape.

Ozger Sahin, one of the paper's authors, said

"When we take a walk in the woods, we think of the trees and plants around us as typical solids. This research shows that we should really think of those trees and plants as towers of water holding sugars and proteins in place. It's really water's world."

And the great thing about this discovery (and one of the reasons to support its validity) is that thinking about hydration solids this way makes the math so so so much easier. Before this, if you wanted to calculate how water interacts with organic matter, you would need advanced computer simulations. Now, there are simple equations that you can do in your head. Being able to calculate a material's properties using basic physics principles is a really big deal, because so far we have only been able to do that with gasses (PV=nRT anyone?). Expanding that to a group that encompasses 50-90% of the biological world around us is huge.

Romantic academia:

Going on study dates to pretty libraries, fighting to find a seat next to each other.

On discord listening to them go through a powerpoint the night before their big presentation.

The Arts/Humanities one proof-reading the STEM one's motivation letters/long emails.

Reading through interesting research in bed together, sharing the one phone screen.

Alternating between who is the one making tea for the study session. (Bonus: matching study mugs)

Study breaks include marveling over some super niche knowledge acquired during the study session.

Emailing an article as a pdf, and titling the email "I thought you'd find this interesting :-)"

Setting a timer for a cuddle break when the assignment work gets too overwhelming. Celebrating together when the assignment gets done.

Sharing the excitement of finding a new productivity app / stationary shop / study hack.

[ 24th april, 2024 • DAY 73/145 ]

national holidays are always so difficult because my uni always forces us to go to class on the previous day and it's awful. i had 2 tests today because of this. CG went horribly, couldn't have been worse. Comp was fine, i think, but haven't gotten the grade back yet ;-;

-> classes (total: 3h30)

-> Comp 2.4 notes + 6/6 exercises

-> took a nap

-> sketched for like 2h (working on faces, experimenting with different expressions and noses. next goal: colour, side profiles, dynamic poses)

It's so funny to me that people think of Math/Mathematicians as being hyper-logical and rational. Like, have you seen some of the wild things hiding in the Math?

Did you know there are non-computable numbers?? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaitin%27s_constant)

Did you know that there are things that are true, but we can't prove them??? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_incompleteness_theorems)

Did you know that we can prove that something exists, and yet never actually figure out what that thing is?? (https://mathworld.wolfram.com/NonconstructiveProof.html)

Math is crazy. Math is wild. Math hardly makes sense, and when you think you understand the weirdest parts of it, everyone who hears you explain it to thinks you're a gibbering lunatic.

"In mathematics you don’t understand things. You just get used to them." - von Neumann

(please share more unhinged math with me, i want to see more scary math)

why neuroscience is cool

space & the brain are like the two final frontiers

we know just enough to know we know nothing

there are radically new theories all. the. time. and even just in my research assistant work i've been able to meet with, talk to, and work with the people making them

it's such a philosophical science

potential to do a lot of good in fighting neurological diseases

things like BCI (brain computer interface) and OI (organoid intelligence) are soooooo new and anyone's game - motivation to study hard and be successful so i can take back my field from elon musk

machine learning is going to rapidly increase neuroscience progress i promise you. we get so caught up in AI stealing jobs but yes please steal my job of manually analyzing fMRI scans please i would much prefer to work on the science PLUS computational simulations will soon >>> animal testing to make all drug testing safer and more ethical !! we love ethical AI <3

collab with...everyone under the sun - psychologists, philosophers, ethicists, physicists, molecular biologists, chemists, drug development, machine learning, traditional computing, business, history, education, literally try to name a field we don't work with

it's the brain eeeeee
