Rules of a scientist's life

See failure as a beginning, not an end.

Never stop learning.

Assume nothing, question everything.

Teach others what you know.

Analyze objectively.

Practice humility

Respect constructive criticism.

Give credit where it’s due.

Take initiative.

Ask the tough questions early.

Love what you do, or leave.

based on a conversation i had recently with my wife, where she said, god's truth, cross on my heart and everything, that if she was EVER stemboified or became a cog in the machine that is capitalism, a husk of what she once was, i should punch her or try to somehow make her come back to her senses (achieved by me dragging her to experience, once again, The Joys Of Life ((visiting museums, ranting to her about philosophy, talking about books, the likes))

which lead to me thinking about WHAT if it really happened and how i'd react, pffff-

based also on this post that started our convo in the first place ↓

#my wife #my art #my doodles #me: what would you even do in your free time?? to feel joy??? stare at formulas??? #her: that would be both hilarious but also VERY sad #stem fields #i guess i should tag it #along with #stembofication #hehehe #darling pls don't let them turn you into a cishet unsalted sad plain cracker u're so cool and awesome

LONG ESSAY ABT AN UNRECOGNIZED BLACK WOMAN IN STEM

Alice Augusta Ball was born in Seattle, Washington on July 24, 1892, to James Presley and Laura Ball. She was one of four children, the other three being her two older brothers, William and Robert Ball, and her younger sister, Addie Ball. Her grandfather, James Ball Sr., was a photographer who was the first African American to use the daguerreotype, the process of printing photographs onto metal plates. In 1903, in the hope that the warm weather would relieve her grandfather's arthritis, Alice Ball and her family relocated from Seattle to Honolulu. He died soon after the move, and after only a year in Hawaii, they returned to Seattle in 1905. Ball returned to Seattle and attended Seattle High School, where she excelled in the sciences. In 1910, she graduated from Seattle High School. Ball went on to study chemistry at the University of Washington, where she received a bachelor's degree in pharmaceutical chemistry in 1912 and a second bachelor's degree in pharmacy science two years later in 1914.  

She co-authored a 10-page article in the Journal of the American Chemical Society with her pharmacy instructor, Williams Dehn, titled "Benzoylations in Ether Solution” which was an unusual for a black woman in her time. She then went to study at the College of Hawaii where she decided to study for a master's degree in chemistry. Her master's thesis at the College of Hawaii involved researching the chemical properties of various Kava plant species. Because of this research and her understanding of plant chemistry, she was approached by Harry T. Hollmann, an Acting Assistant Surgeon at the US Public Health Service's Leprosy Investigation Station in Hawaii, to study chaulmoogra oil and its chemical properties. At the time, leprosy had been a highly stigmatized disease with little to no chance of recovery, and for hundreds of years, Chaulmoogra oil had been the most effective leprosy treatment, and Ball developed a much more effective injectable form, which had little to no problems unlike previous methods. Details of the process she developed were revealed to Arthur L. Dean, a chemist and Ball's graduate study advisor, dean of the college, and later president of the university. She was the first woman and the first Black American to receive a master's degree from the College of Hawaii in 1915. She was also the first African American "research chemist and instructor" in the chemistry department at the College of Hawaii. 

Alice Ball passed away on December 13, 1916, at the age of 24. Dean conducted additional trials after Ball's death, and by 1919, a college chemistry laboratory was producing large quantities of the injectable chaulmoogra extract. Dean published the details of the work and the findings without naming Ball or crediting her work. Dean's published works on the chaulmoogra extract do not include her name, but the technique is referred to as "the Dean method." Hollmann, Ball's colleague, attempted to correct the extract's erroneous impression. He credited Ball in a paper published in 1922, referring to the injectable form of the oil as the "Ball method" throughout the article. Hollmann discusses techniques that have been developed elsewhere and reports on progress in related leprosy treatments. Although Dean claimed that his later work was a refinement of Ball's method, yielding an "advanced specific," Hollmann compares and rejects Dean's and Ball's techniques in the article, in a section titled "Ball's Method of Making Ethyl Esters of the Fatty Acids of Chaulmoogra Oil." Hollman later states “I cannot see that there is any improvement whatsoever over the original technic as worked out by Miss Ball. The original method will allow any physician in any asylum for lepers in the world, with a little study, to isolate and use the ethyl esters of chaulmoogra fatty acids in treating his cases, while the complicated distillation in vacuo will require very delicate, and not always obtainable, apparatus.” Despite this, Ball was largely forgotten in the scientific record. In the 1970s, University of Hawai'i professors Kathryn Takara and Stanley Ali discovered records of Ball's research and worked to ensure her accomplishment was recognized.

I have this TAZ Balance modern AU in my head that I'll never write, but that's okay, because there's literally only two things that you need to know about it:

Kravitz and Barry both have graduate degrees

Barry and Kravitz are not using their graduate degrees even a little bit in their current career, which is running a really shitty, scam-adjacent ghost-busting business out of a garage together

#taz #taz balance #taz balance spoilers #kravitz taz #barry bluejeans #personally i think krav got a degree in something artsy that he knew he didn't have great job prospects in #and just studied for the love of the topic #whereas barry got a masters in an actually semi-employable STEM field #but got so burnt out within the first year of going for a phd that he dropped out not only of his phd program but the field altogether #it's purely up to reader interpretation though. hence not being included in the only two things you need to know

One of the most well-studied marine mammals in the world has been secretly harboring a superpower sixth sense. Two captive bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) have now proved to researchers at the University of Rostock and Nuremberg Zoo in Germany that they can reliably sense weak electric fields in the water with their long snouts. The discovery hints at the possibility that some marine mammals really can sniff out the electric currents of small prey buried in the sand. They might even use the skill to sense Earth's magnetic field.

GREAT WORK DURING ALTERNIA'S OPEN SEASON GUYS!!!

shitty comic with sollux below cut

#maybe the first of its kind in fanart #how midwest can homestuck get? #all lowbloods occupy the STEM field #its just that sollux was the only one to make it past the letter S #homestuck #egg art #tavros nitram #aradia megido #nepeta leijon #animal death #dont bitch at me by saying tavros is too kind of a soul to go hunting his favorite game is pokemon with chestbursters #and that lusus was caught LACKING!!!!

Rekindling the Sherlock Holmes and boots n bombs brainworms in me simultaneously .. I give you BnB Holmes and Watson

#HEAR ME OIT #Sherlock and Tavish are both chemists technically #at the very least they both work in STEM because sherlock is in more of a general field #also they both abuse substances does that count #John and Jane are a bit more dissimilar #they both served in the army? Jane dubiously of course. #other than that I’m drawing a blank #tf2 #team fortress 2 #tf2 au #Sherlock Holmes #John Watson #arthur conan doyle #boots n bombs #tf2 demoman #tf2 soldier #demosolly #demosoldier #tf2 fanart #Quotidianish

"Bimbo reader" this, "hyperfeminine reader" that, where's my reader who never bothered to learn how to put on makeup and whose morning routine takes all of 20 minutes before heading out to a full-time job she's overqualified and underpaid for?? Where's my reader who has utility bills and rent and a car and is perfectly fine being independent and solving her own problems thank you very much??

#yea im projecting shhhh lol #i have a college degree in a STEM field and i work in finance!!! i pay my own bills!!!! #im not gonna pretend to have the IQ of a five year old just to appease a man!!!!

[queer-reader-07]

i don’t know what it says about me as a person that a motivating factor in me wanting to pursue a PhD is that “Dr.” is a gender neutral honorific that people just accept without question

#is the silly science shitposting welcome? #look it’s not the main motivating factor #the main motivating factors are enjoying science as a field and wanting to be permanently involved in it #and wanting to do research and wanting to be an academic #and also just science is cool guys!!! #but also my non-binary self would love a gn honrofic because i hate ’mx.’ (sry not sry) #and dr sounds cool and it would be cool #and there’s something about being a queer enby person in stem that feels so cool #science #non binary #phd #enby

Space is a near-perfect vacuum, but it’s not entirely empty. A small list of matter include :

a few hydrogen atoms here and there (less than one hydrogen atom per cubic meter)

Dark Matter — an enigma that was recently discovered in the 20th century. It doesn’t interact with the normal matter that we’re used to (eg. solid, gas, liquid). We can’t see it since it doesn't interact with light or any electromagnetic radiation. However, it does exist and makes up about 27% of the universe.

Neutrinos — neutral subatomic particles with little mass and no electric charge. They’re from atoms that come together (nuclear fusion) or break apart (nuclear fission)

Electromagnetic radiation and magnetic fields

There are other things that exist in outer space but they’re usually not normal matter and don’t make space very dense at all. It’s okay because space is never truly empty but it can still be very close to empty, making it a far better vacuum than the best ones we can make on earth.

This is not an issue for electromagnetic waves (like light and radio waves) that can travel through space unhindered because they don’t need any medium to propagate.

Sound waves are different since they're mechanical waves, which is just vibrating matter. Hence, they need a medium to travel through to be heard. In space there is no air or medium for sound waves to travel through. This means that no one can hear you scream in space :)

Feeling normal again

#tl;dr its less about the shape itself and more about the response #theres a level of coolness associated with the response #most people dont ever have an answer ready to go. most never thought of it before so theyll have to think it through. #if they think ur weird for asking and/or dismiss you entirely their vibes likely arent so good #many people will stop and think for a bit. and will likely give a reason WHY they picked theirs #if thats the case their vibes are p normal and youve now opened up a conversation starter congrats #possibly broke up some awkward tension by asking something so obscure and out of left field #then you have the people who had their answers READY TO GO. most of the time these people are cool as hell. #passing the vibe check with flying colors because you just gave them a reason to explain why trapezoids are underrated #or infodump abt a shape uve never heard of #OR you'll get the occasional 'what do you have a favorite shape' incredulous ask #and then you can quickly drop your own favorite shape (parallelograms my beloved) #which opens up the hidden SECOND VIBE CHECK #if they react positively to you having a shape ready to go their vibes are likely good #if they immediately think ur weird for having a favorite shape ready to go their vibes are probably not so good #its full-proof /hj #socializing is a science and i aint in STEM for nothing #<- totally neurotypical haha whaaaat im normal mhm totally normal #this is normal people things to think about
