march 21, 2023 - tuesday week 3

tuesday is my busiest day because all of my classes and all of my extracurriculars meet, but i think i've got everything taken care of so i can go to sleep right when i get back to the room!

i did some annotations on the research paper that i'm summarizing for research rotation, and we had a lecture on how to properly do a research proposal. it sounded really daunting but i'm kind of excited to work more on what i think i want to do for the independent research section of the class!

i also transferred my anatomy notes. we finished our first section (basics of animal form and function) yesterday and started our animal nutrition unit! it's a really interesting class, and iirc we're actually starting with wet labs tomorrow!

Level 1: *forgets someone’s name and mentally sings alphabet to try to remember what letter it starts with*

Level 2: *forgets that a midwestern state exists, sings 50 states song to remember*

Level 100: *forgets element, sings periodic table to song while in the middle of a chemistry exam*

The neuroscience lecture today was really fun. First about addiction, and then about depression. Discussing the neurochemical changes and how permanent they are. Changes in gene expression and nerve connections. Changes of brain anatomy. Not concerning at all.

....not that I have any of that. Anyway.

One of the girls in my research group is doing something involving urine and glucose. Apparently it's $40 for 3 oz of synthetic urine. I was shocked and shouted YOU KNOW HOW MUCH REAL URINE YOU CAN GET FOR 40 BUCKS? I'm honestly surprised I didn't get kicked out of the meeting.

What's your favorite poison and why?

Finally an interesting question. There are many answers to this, depending on the used definition of poison and for what it would be intended for. Whether I find a poison interesting enough is mostly determined by how fascinating it’s biochemical mechanisms are, but also if it’s nondetectable and rare, how clever it would be in a murder.

Some more common poisons can have very fascinating biochemical properties like cyanide, which inhibits enzymes neccessary for aerobic respiration and suffocating a person on a cellular level. But they are more commonly used in murders, making them more easily traceable, less creative and thus less interesting then. Just obvious. I prefer rarer poisons, less obvious. The more cunning and sophisticated, the better. Toxins which you can barely detect, unless you know what you are looking for, but most people are idiots and won’t think about it. Perfect murder. Unless you consult me of course.

And especially natural poisons are the most toxic, like Botulinum toxin which was used in some of my cases. Especially neurotoxins like this work in fascinating ways, Tetrodotoxin from pufferfish, shutting down nerve cell communication, slowly paralysing and shutting the body down by respiratory failure. This poison is especially cruel because the victim can still be conscious and lucid, even if they are completely paralyzed, unable to talk or move, to do nothing except to suffer and wait for death approaching.

Another very potent and very rare poison is Polonium-210, killing by acute irradiation, no antidote and it takes days to show effects, giving the murderer enough time to get an alibi or leave the country. Of course the trail of radiation can lead to the killer if not handled correctly. Very fascinating poison, but difficult to acquire, which is why it’s only knowinlgy used by secret services, but there might be more cases where it was never detected. As you can see it’s difficult to pick favourites with such diverse acting mechanisms of poisons and their interesting ways to kill.

However, if you meant favourite poison in a more recreational way, then my clear answer is cocaine. Which also has cardiotoxic effects so it can be used as a poison resulting in overdoses, but it’s subjective personal effects are much better than to use it to kill someone, I assure. A more poisonous drug would be fentanyl, very strong opioid resulting in respiratory depression, 120 times stronger than morphine, difficult to dosage. Though I prefer morphine for personal use. But even nicotine can be considered a poison if overdosed. But it’s all just subjective defintions, to quote Paracelsus “What is there that is not poison? All things are poison and nothing is without poison.”

its so nice to see a fellow pagan college student on here! what are you studying?

I’m currently a chemistry major concentrating in forensic chemistry! It’s been so crazy hard but we are powering through it o7

I’ve always been obsessed with true crime and like unsolved murders, I loved Buzzfeed Unsolved and I’m EATING UP Mystery Files, it’s genuinely gonna be such a great outcome but chemistry is so hard

How I look pretending to pay attention in my chem lecture (I'm just going to watch a 10-minute YouTube video that explains the concept way better when I go back to my dorm)

december 6, 2023 - wednesday week 2

went on a grocery trip and proctored an exam for the pledges of my fraternity today! also got some stuff done for the pharmacology assignment due tomorrow, and finished a couple of physical chemistry assignments.

trying to take advantage of my free time to get back into reading - have been chugging through the audiobook of i'm glad my mom died by jennette mccurdy (which i highly recommend) and trying to finish up my read of the crow by alison croggon (which i started in august).

song of the day: dark green water - great grandpa

Seems people write introductory posts, so maybe I should introduce myself as well. Hi, my name is Sherlock (god this sounds like a NA meeting....not that I've ever been to a NA meeting...anyway...) If you couldn't already tell by my blog name, but most of you are stupid so you probably didn't notice. I study chemistry in the UK and I hope to work as a forensic scientist in the future. I'm very passionate about science, especially biology and chemistry. I even perform some experiments in my dorm sometimes. I play the violin when I'm thinking, sometimes I don't post for days on end. My passion is solving crimes, and I'm very good at it. That's enough to be going on with, don't you think?
