Botany isn't a good bachelor's degree. Get environmental BS then a botany or plant science MS.

So, I just drop out of medschool to pursuit a career more focused on scientific research (physiology, microbiology)
Was this the right choice?
Will I die from starvation?

No, you are fucked. You will be psychologically fucked. Look, you will probably be able to make a good buck in your field but it is going to be peanuts compared to what doctors make. Why does this matter? Because now making the wage of a doctor is in your basket of "could have been". Now every day when you collect a paycheck you will remember those days in medschool and think "there could be an extra 0 in there... if only...". You are fucked. This is going to eat you from the inside.
Others will be fine. I was never even close to becoming a doctor so if I consider the idea of earning what a doctor makes I just laugh. "Lol, like that was ever going to happen". But you? You were really close and you let it go. Now you are fucked.
I give 10 years before you kill yourself.

Needs to be something topical so that you have some modern analysis to contribute to any think tank discussions.
Anything else is autism and/or retarded.

Should I fall for the molecular biology and genetics meme?
I don't like physics because I'm fucking retarded by the way.

It's just a coincidence, there are other colors that would work just as well but the green variant is the one that got started earliest.

I found pic related written in the back of an old reference book, with no explanation. It looks similar to a Nilakantha expression, can /sci/ confirm?
[math] \displaystyle \pi =3- \frac{1}{1 \times 2 \times 3}+ \frac{1}{2 \times 3 \times 5}- \frac{1}{3 \times 4 \times 7}+ \cdots[/math]

I don't know what the fuck is going on because in the first term where n=1, you get a division by 0.

my mistake, the second factor in the denom
should be (n + 1)

How do you study peptides? Is it with a spectrometer? Also what is your favorite type of microscope? I love the SEM.

By injecting them into the brains of rodents and running behavioral tests.

>Is it with a spectrometer?
Probably yes, along with other techniques for measuring binding etc.
Are you going to fuck up some peptides anon?

Im trying to do some undergraduate research on insect AMPs. I dont know how to get/extract/whatever peptides so any good links or literature would be appreciated.

That's not balding, it's called a widow's peak, and it's a very common type of hairline.
>>
>>8615568
It's a stage of balding, I didn't know personally until my own hairline started receding and I became painfully aware of everything to do with balding
Some guys lose the whole thing at once, other's have this pattern progression that starts with a widows peak
>>
>>8615564
>still no cure for balding
As Hippocrates noted, castration prevents balding. The issue here is that most men care more about their balls than their hairline.
