What drove you to study STEM and how do you feel about your progress so far?
70 posts and 9 images submitted.

I had to stop because I couldn't afford it. I draw now. No Chem Engineering for me.

I'm interested in biology. I have been interesting in life ever since I was a small child. I would spend days turning over rocks and studying the bugs underneath. I went through a dinosaur phase which made me interested in evolution, which led to an interest in genetics, my current field of study.

My parents also had a role. They would encourage me to practice math since I was small, and they discouraged me from going into the humanities, which was another interest of mine. I still study history as a hobby but I am glad I went STEM because the way I see it, it is easier to study history as a hobby while having a science job than it is to study science as a hobby while having a history job (since they are rare.)

A large (n=15,000) Romanian study has found no difference in intelligence by gender, and no difference in variance either.

How do they measure intelligence ?
>>
>>8243514
Simple. They simply asked the participants whether they would vote for Trump.
>>
>>8243514

They standardized scores from 6 different intelligence tests:
-the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fourth Edition
-, Raven's Progressive Matrices, Plus
-the Multidimensional Aptitude Battery, Second Edition
-the General Ability Measure for Adults
-the Intelligence Structure Test 2000, Revised

Elon Musk proposes that focusing on the manufacturing process is now the key for electric vehicles.

Says engineering time spent on manufacturing processes is 5-10x more efficient than trying to eek out additional performance on the Tesla 3.

The gigafactory utilizes autonomous robots.

problem:
666 green kids decided to post in this thread between 5 pm inclusive and 6 pm exclusive. All green kids will post at least once. Time of the first post for all green kids is equally distributed between 5 pm inclusive and 6 pm exclusive. When a kid post in a thread, he stays for 15 min to write one replay for everyone who had posted in this thread since his first post. At 6 pm all green kids left the thread. What is probability of all 666 green kids getting 665 replies by green kids?

Happy?

Python is a good place to start. Most beginner books will be similar. The best way to get good at coding is to code everyday, think of a simple program that you would need and try to make it.

What is coordination number of copper in [Cu(gly)2(H2O)] supposed to be? I get 5 but supposedly it should be 6.

Gly is bidentate so 2x2 = 4 + 1 from monodentate H2O = 5

What am I missing?

Unless x equals 1, yes. If x equals 1, the first expression is undefined.

Why should scientists be paid? I just finished watching Carl Sagans cosmos so I think I have a really good understanding of your field but it still doesn't make any sense to me... why is the government giving billions of dollars to people who just wear lab coats, smoke pot, and look at really bright lights thinking that the "lasers" are revolutionary technology (if they're even doing good science- if they're not, then they're just staring at the fucking sky while they're tripping and thinking about how the amount of light from each star can affect its composition like it even fucking matters to us)

Tell me sci, I don't want to hate all of you guys but it seems to me that you're a huge waste of the countries resources.
