How many people on /sci/ actually do research? What fields

>>8434865
Personally I investigate sRNA regulation networks in bacteria, anyone else in the field?

I started a PhD focused on Raman microscopy

>>8434865
Astrophysics, neutrinos, cool shit.

Super-resolution microscopy

>>8434865
Telecommunication

OMG I STAY INDOORS ALL DAY TOO I'M SUCH A DORK LOL I WANT TO BE A SCIENTIST TOO IT'S SO COOL #SAGAN4LIFE!!!!

>>8434865
I mean I have published math research.

>>8434865
I'm doing grad research in microtubules

>wearing gloves on the scope
lol what a nerd

I'm a field biologist. Getting paid to hike around and collect data is pretty awesome.

>>8434865
a PhD said he'd put me as an author for fixing his shitty math.
It'll never see the light of day cuz DoD

Stable isotope geochemistry

Statistician for clinical trials. That counts right?

Alzheimers

>glorified bird-watching

>>8434865
Neuroscience, working on two projects: visually guided behavior in one group, and development of hippocampus in another group

>>8434865
Archeology if it counts

>>8434875
no, but could you use biomedical engineers?

I was working in an immunobiology research lab, researching anti-inflammatory gut bacteria

>>8434865
I research new memory architectures, and memory performance modeling.

Biophysics. Interested in NMR methodology for protein structure and dynamics.

Quantum computing using solid state systems.

Where ?
Some people in my group are also working on super-resolution microscopy

What degrees did you guys get? I'm planning on majoring in biochemistry/biophysics when I get my basics out of the way.

Most interested in proteomics so I figured this would be the degree to get me closest

pls respon

>>8434865
Plant molecular biology/genetics

I don't do research, there's no money in it.

I do work for a pharmaceutical company doing quality assurance routine lab testing. It's boring, easy, and pays well. No regrets.

Is this a meme?

Literally get fucked you retards. Current "High" resolution microscopy cannot be beaten - it's already atomic scale

I bet you are Americans

Super resolution microscopy literally gives you a tenfold increase in resolution on optical microscopes. It won the nobel prize in chemistry in 2014. Educate yourself.

>>8439009
define pays well

I'm an undergrad that thinks I know most things about most topics, and reacts violently when disagreed with.

>>8439273
sounds arrogant to me

>>8434885
For what application, anon?

>>8434875
That's literally what I'm proposing to study in my qualifying exam in November

Undergrad research in 2 dimension materials research. Been doing it since I was in highschool. :)

Cp-theory / Function spaces (topology)

>>8439010
Lets all take a second to appreciate just how retarded this guy is

Is it hard to get a job as a biologist?
Currently in my first year of my biology bachelor. I'll have to decide between macro and micro at the start of my next year. I've heard that jobs are harder to come by for macro.

Netherlands, btw

Does undergrad research count? Ill working toward a publication in active noise cancelling algorithms

does computer security count?

My current research topic is finding robust estimates on the probability that OP is a faggot. Currently we have some preliminary data which suggests that the probability for this particular thread is very close to 1.

i did research all summer in computation fluid dynamics
t. undergrad

>>8438970
I majored in biology (animal physiology), minor studies in biophysics, biochemistry and math. That way I got into neuroscience groups.

>>8440482
There is competition in the job market. The key is to specialize wisely, try your hardest, and make connections. Get to know a lot of important people.

>>8440482
Do you study at Leiden University?

I make some gender studies.

I investigate molecular mechanisms of metabolic adaptation in development and in cancer

>>8440482
Macro is pretty difficult, at least here in the states. Take any undergrad research positions you can, do internships, TA a lab if you can. All of it helps. Getting a masters/PHD increases your chance of success as well.

I know another anon said to specialize, but I find that having a wide skill set and a varied amount of experience working with all sorts of organisms helps because more than likely you won't just be studying one thing for your entire career and many times you'll be studying multiple organisms in a field season. For one temp job I had, I tracked bats at the beginning of the season, went on to collecting soil samples and work with salamanders mid to late season, and finished the season out looking at flying squirrels. Throughout I also did stream water quality surveys and electrofishing.

I've also worked with: sea turtles, invasive plants, prairie dogs, raptors, black footed ferrets, wood boaring beetles, fungal diseases of trees, forestry, guineafowl, and ticks.

Don't ignore the plant side of macro either and make sure you learn ArcMap or something similar and work statistics into your degree plan.
