soooo.... what's going on?

Pres. Obama's State of the Union address. Promised new cancer initiative, in the can-do spirit of the Apollo moon mission. Putting Vice Pres. Biden in charge.

monitoring thread. I've asked /g/ and /sci/ the same question and no good answer. Just looking for a good place to start like a textbook. I don't know anything about programming either but have a bs in microbio.

>>7781399
Once again sci proves its retardation. If anyone here was actually in college, at least someone would be familiar with one of the biggest research areas in CS and biology.

There were several textbooks on computational biophysics recommended in the textbook thread, other than the ones posted on the wiki. But since you're being such a little bitch about it I'm not going to repost it, go find it in the catalog yourself.

Asking whether to learn Perl or not is such a stupid fucking question. It's completely irrelevant, ask the research group you want to work with what languages they use.

dem bond angles

Switch up a few atoms and that could make for the most ovr'pwr'd thin ass battery seen to man

Patent it quickly OP

>>7781378
The helium atoms would never be close enough together to form bonds like that. Instead it would be two carbon-central tetrahedrons touching tips.

how about:
>wait until college

Use a computer to look for open reading frames.

it would be easiest to order the gene from a synthetic lab, and place a terminal 6x his tag (or any sort of affinity tag, but with a proteolytic sequence in between to cleave tag after all is said and done). then express in organism, purify via nickel column, cleave tag, then characterize protein

I swear to god, the second edition had such an awesome cover. The 3rd edition cover triggers me every time, like a book for children with special needs.

>>7781283
I'd start reading Euclid's Elements.

What if all that was wrong.

Dude what would you do if one day you woke up and someone had put a bomb in your house and it blew up one second later and you died?

I know it would never happen but what if lol xD

Make heavy use of the documentation. It has very extensive descriptions of every built-in function, down to the appropriate syntax.

>>7781253
Have you ever used wolfram alpha?

Because that's Mathematica with an input interpreter.

It's pretty simple, and Wolfram has tons of documentation and tutorials for it.

>>7781253
>Mathematica

Use Matlab

lmao this is like preschool math

Kek, you have crippling autism if you can't solve this

ok kid google something called
special triangle

Your face is not ammonia you fucking liar

then you'll love trimethylamine! huff that shit in I dare you

It was used as a stimulant in the old days as released by "smelling salts". Too much ammonia will burn your nose and lungs, but it's not very toxic and your body makes plenty of it anyway (smell your pee.)

Yes and any laptop will do.

Will there be any serious work on it, like simulations or similar?

As long as it can run KSP you'll be fine.

Start studying and get a job in engineering or a research field that you like. Maybe chemistry? You don't know if there's hope until you've tried.

seen this thread a bunch. heres what you are going to get out of it:

1. consider that enrolling in a STEM field means your 26 year old ass will be up against 18-19 year olds that are smart enough and motivated enough the first time around.
2. sci/fags are going to have no sympathy and probably be irritated by your question. you will either get but hurt or realize they have good reason to behave that way.

dont appeal to sympathy to argue that your the right guy to pursue stem. hopefully other people in this thread will be gracious enough to give you good advice.

Thanks! I have gotten on the renewable energy bandwagon, been looking for entry level work in my locale. After several years of thinking about what I wanted to do in life, researching and advancing the energy sector seemed like a good fit. I assume it's a field where I wouldn't have to explain things to people and convince the unknowing to accomplish a goal.

Don't get me wrong, I love talking to people, and explaining things that I confidently know to those that don't, but even in my current industry, it is a surprisingly daunting task to get people to change a cultural tick or habit in order to prevent pests, so I'm trying to stay away from an area where doing that is part of my job.

You need to defeat anti intellectualism. People need to understand their education is important and not reject it while simultaneously putting faith in people who claim to have done the work.

Remember, there are people who literally think science is a belief system.

>while simultaneously putting faith in people who claim to have done the work.
No man can be an expert on everything. Society was created so people could specialize in a niche. People in general need to differ to specialists and be able to trust what they say is true with out being a specialist themselves. Without this society will collapse. The problem is anyone can claim to be a specialist and if everyone is it would take too long to vet everyone.

>belief system.
Science is a believe system only in that it requires faith. Faith that specialists are correct, telling the truth, and are specialists.

People responses to these phrases is Pavlovian. They've heard it a million times with things that were true so they assume every time they hear the words what follows is true, classic Pavlovian.

If 4chan made a popular meme demonstrating falsehood or ignorance following those words would it counteract the Pavlovian response, or would it remain creating a double think in people's minds?
