So I have brain damage and am wondering if I can still make it in the sciences I have very severe brain damage but can still do a little science like I'm taking introductory chemistry with an A can I do it?

You'll won't know unless you try. Nobody here can tell you otherwise.
Well...what kind of brain damage? Are you now devoid of empathy but can still function and do science? Or are you forgetful now, which can be very dangerous in science if you are in a lab and forget a crucial ingrediant, and end up blowing something up or damaging a hundred thousand dollar equipment?

Ask a prof

This is very tough for anons to know.
But broadly speaking, I have a lot of faith in the neuroplasticity of the brain and if you are willing enough, I believe you'll find a way to make it work, even if it's not a conventional route.
Op here I can still do math and understand scientific concepts but I have a terrible memory I have this idea about starting a genius breeding program to advance civilization and increase GDP I don't understand why people many people decide to have dum kids it would be better to adopt them from my program

Well, it's concerning that a.) you think that "brain damage" is specific enough to determine whether or not you can make it in the sciences, and b.) that you think /adv/ is the place to figure it out.
Maybe, I'm being overly critical, but whatever. >>18528452 and >>18528529 had some good suggestions.

Just don't borrow money for it.

Yeah fuck it dude, do whatever you want. If you have the ability to stare at tinctured cell membranes all day then go for it. I'm certainly not capable of it and I've got a functioning brain.
