I hope so, I'm probably going to die from that if not.

No. Udergrad lackey looking at test tubes "on the verge"

Everybody is on the verge of everything.

>Student has researh potential.
>Does research in colon cancer.
>Ergo he is destined to cure it.

It's a clickbait title because a title like "Minority student performs above average in research electives" would be boring.

Breakthroughs in medicine are not single man approaches. It is rather done by the accumulation of research that eventually culminates into something groundbreaking. People like creating heroes, so they usually over-emphasize a single individual as a god-send when it's rarely that simple.

Also, I wish the "cure for cancer" meme would die. Not only is cancer not a single homogenous entity, but we already have a cure for colon cancer. It's called surgery and quemotherapy. The treatment can unfortunately be limited by the progress of the disease, so different treatments for different stages might be necessary, and newer medication may offer a higher chance of remission than older medication, so research is indeed important. But the idea that cancer is incurable disease that can be solved by a single breakthrough is ignorant.

No. It would be like living in a slightly more productive council home until you die.

Sure

Nope. I don't want no J•E•L•L•O B•A•B•I•E•S•!

Sure, I'll work cinematography for the ghost of Stanley Kubrick.

As in it has positive mass, but has been subject to conditions whereby it acts as if it has negative mass.

Why buy stock when ETH is gonna moon?

>>8839171
I can't but financial institutions do use sophisticated mathematical modeling to make exactly those sorts of decisions. Their techniques are proprietary and some of the best minds in applied math fields are regularly recruited into the industry.

Just use a calculator for the arithmetic. Spending years practicing multiplication tables isn't actually worth it.

Khanacademy

>>8839052
yea no. Dont be one of those kids that can't answer basic questions because they dont know their multiplication table or can do long division.

Are you stupid? You think being irrational is mature?

Yaaawn

Engineer here, never had a cheat sheet for a test while in QM, even though it's a Midwest state school

Next

>>8838085
engineering must be pretty fucking hard

i wouldn't even be able to solve anything even with that sheet, i can't even understand any of it

>>8838108
Then you're retarded because that's first year quantum mechanics in physics undergrad

Pluto may not be big enough to fit your definition of a planet; but she has big heart, which is arguably more important.

Don't know, and seeing how politicized this subject is research may not be impartial.

Actually a semi-legit thread for once, let it be.

There are genetic predisposals. Genes don't guarantee anything though.

The same as other ion drives but instead of xenon they use just photons which works the same way

It's not very efficient though, however it does have a virtually unlimited fuel supply

yes but it generally interferes with folk who prefer to not be toasty

It's a good major. Very useful with the rapid increase of arid lands and exterme weather and the especially unfortunate loss of forests.
Also a genuinely cool thing to study

what would you like society to do about it? kill all the black people? mass sterilizations?

not going to happen.

Is that pic accurate?

To the degree that income is a proxy for IQ, it looks like the smartest blacks are about equal to the dumbest whites. But I just don't fucking believe it. I *refuse* to believe it. Nature would not be so cruel as to divide our abilities along genetic lines, that's just fucking insane. Nature is not that cruel. It fucking can't be.

China knows who's going to be a ditch digger and who's going to be a blue collar drone by the time they're 14.

We should implement something like that here
