Have to complete a course in hematology/analytical chem before I can apply for the program, looking for a job atm but eduacation comes first so that limits my search

This is quite an assumption, and I think you are mad because I left out your pet subject.
Theoretical science is heavy on math, this should go without contest. Ecology in particular uses partial diffs, graph theory, systems theory, et ala the most. Not to mention any statistics. Evolutionary science and theoretical biology should go without saying too. Ive been studying biology with autistic fervor ever since I was around 2 years old and could tell my mom since I what encyclopedia I wanted to read. You are a weird, hateful person.

>>9158949
Molecular biology and genetics are still characteristic of living systems. Using biology as a general term to refer to the science of life at higher scales of analysis than biological systems, like ecology and evolution doesn't make sense. So life science makes a a better general term as the general needs to supervene on all particulars in the set.

"""theoretical""" biology is a vague catch-all phrase that doesn't mean anything. Actually thinking it's a field of its own screams ignorance.
> Ive been studying biology with autistic fervor ever since I was around 2 years old
Congratulations my friend. Now come back when you've graduated high-school.
>You are a weird, hateful person.
Now that is something I cannot argue against.

>>9159158
>Actually thinking it's a field of its own screams ignorance.
the use of mathematical theory to model biological systems isn't a distinct field?
explain this http://rsif.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/12/105/20141383 and the rest of the entire field of theoretical biology.
ecology, biochem and molecular biology are all the same in regards to their scope, they all have broad areas of inquiry. yet i dont see you contesting them as fields. you know nothing contrarian fuckboy. anon was asking for a field to concentrate in. not a research focus.
if you have an undergraduate degree and i doubt you do, you need to go back to school, trade school. As you dont have a grasp on the material you are talking about

Medfag here. Is medicine a legitimate answer?
If not, I will go with ecology / animal behavior. That was my favorite course in undergrad.

>>9159158
also note that theoretical biology and theoretical ecology are not the same field. Ecological systems are not biological systems they are systems that result of the reciprocal interactions of biological systems. whether or not ecological systems are living systems is unclear, personally I believe they likely are, they definitely are not biological systems however.

Genetics here, going to try and get into PhD programs soon - hopefully something in genomics, possibly looking into the effects of abiotic stress on gene expression in hops or barley.

>>9159192
no its not, and im not just saying that because im in ecology. eco-ethological interactions are incredibly interesting, especially when eco-evolutionary dynamics are thrown in the mix.

I want to study evolution and community interation. What should I major in?

Ecologists - is it just the few in my University, or are most ecologists all dead set on the global warming train? In my required Ecology course, the professor legitimately promoted people not having children - especially in 3rd world countries - because of the carbon footprint or some shit.

>>9159235
I like ecology but I dont want to be a tree hugger, i just want to study interactions between organisms

>>9159229
math, minor in bio
>>9159235
yes, ecologists see the worst of global warning and understand the behavior of dynamic systems well
>promoted people not having children - especially in 3rd world countries
sounds like a doofus that doesnt understand actor-networks and the drivers of global change at all, to me/ that being said when explaining such complex problems to people who couldn't understand its very tempting to just scare them instead

>>9159247
>i just want to study interactions between organisms
thats how you end up making sweet love to a forest instead of hugging trees

>>9159258
>Minor in bio
I like bio too much. I am thinking of minoring in math though.

>>9159269
that works just fine.

>>9159258
Would Biostatistics count?

>>9159273
yes, statistics are one of the biggest things for what you want to do, just try to take enough courses that focus on marco biology.
The best thing that you can is read the literature in the fields you are interested in your free time and get research experience as an undergrad.

>>9159177
>explain this
Could just as easily be called computational biology or biophysics. As I said, it's a catch all phrase, not a distinct field. If believe otherwise you're most likely literally in high-school. Nobody becomes a "theoretical biologist".
>yet i dont see you contesting them as fields
Because they have established domains of inquiry, where-as anything from protein MD simulations to modelling population dynamics of flies in a pile of shit could fall under "le theoretical biology XD".
>if you have an undergraduate degree
I do, unlike you.

>>9159273
>>9159284
Sort of related, how difficult are most Stats classes compared to your normal sci maths like Calc 2?

>>9159258
Eh, he was more likely to be a doofus than just trying to scare people. He frequently displayed graphs in lecture that had half the figure missing, or no axis labels. Even if I asked him about it after class, he'd blow me off. Hell, he frequently dismissed class early and wasted time discussing things unrelated to the course material.

Worst part of all - he's absolutely obsessed with his research, something about algae, but his lab is staffed with incompetent undergraduate girls who are more looks than brains. They're known for causing problems with any equipment they use - one even waisted an entire tank of liquid nitrogen by not fully closing the valve.

>>9159258
>Have less children
I don't get this solution. As a Bio major he should understand that natural selection dictates that if you don't have children than the people who don't care will and overtake you. Humans aren't going to completely stop having children.

>>9159177
Theoretical biology is a tool. Modelling should always be followed and verified by experiments, as many mathematical models oversimplify biological systems too much to draw any worthwhile conclusions. Hence, theoretical biology is not an independent field; it fits within the field that the experimental part fits into. If you are modelling embryonic development, you're a developmental biologist, not a theoretical biologist. If you are modelling hysteresis in ecosystems, you are an ecologist (though a theoretical one), not a theoretical biologist. If you are not actually interested in experimentally verifying your theories by working together with experimental biologists, you are hardly contributing to biology.

>>9159534
I get what you are saying, I suppose I view theoretical biology in a stricter sense than most use. I view theoretical biology as a transdisciplinary research agenda aimed at identifying general properties of biological systems. This is why I separated theoretical ecology and theoretical evolution from theoretical biology. This is all just semantic confusion around 'biology'. I'm aware of the interface between empirical and theoretical science.

>>9159320
I hate to be a stickler but natural selection would not be involved. NS is a process that happens after behavior, what would really be at work is ecosystem(population) dynamics

Biophysics grad student, research interests in in structural biology with an emphasis on protein-NMR methods development.

Any list of the best sub-fields is open to ambiguity, given how sub-fields are defined. I'd say that this list is decent: >>9158815. I'd move chemical biology and structural biology to the top tier, then move microbiology to mid-tier.

I could say the "hottest" sub-fields, from scanning the literature, following the science blogosphere, talking to people in the fields, etc.
First, the world of molecular biology and genetics has been white-hot over the last few years, largely attributed in particular to the potential of genome editing by CRISPR and the CRISPR/Cas system.

Second, chemical biology is becoming more and more prominent, evolving as its own discipline, as a means to probe and characterize biological systems and pathways.

Third, in drug discovery, "difficult-to-target" epigenetic targets and protein-protein interactions are garnering plenty of attention.

Fourth, in structural biology, I still think we're in the Cryo-EM craze, but the initial excitement is starting to ease up. No doubt that structural biology has undergone a transformation and EM is hot, but now EM is settling in, more or less, and any talk of it taking over has subsided. Still, if you want a tenure-track position at an R1, you'd have (relatively) good odds as a microscopist.

It's a useless distinction; these fields lie in the overlap with biology and other fields. "Pure" qualitative biology itself is slowly becoming a thing of the past, and cutting edge research is becoming more and more reliant on the quantitative methods and ways of thinking.

Biochem major here
Is bioinformatics any good? I really don't know what to do after my bachelors, bioinformatics sounds good but I dunno, I want something math related to back my degree.

There's a lot of random facts about various aspects of the disease from the plaques to changes in neurotransmitters and such. What do you think are the truly important aspects of the disease?

>>9162839
bio major here

I'm taking a bioinformatics course this year for my undergrad, my tutor told me it generally boosts employability a lot, especially with computer-based work, so it's a good choice. I'm backing it up with other lab-based courses. I don't know what to do after graduation either, my thinking is that a bioinfo course opens many dry lab opportunities (or pure tech jobs) on its own, and the degree itself is fitted towards lab work, so it's best to have as many options available.

>>9162847
If you're talking about a bachelor's, don't. Just take my advice and stay away. Do something more general like electrical or mechanical first, and if you're still interested in bio stuff, do master's in BME and proceed accordingly. A bachelor's in BME is way too narrow. The jobs that exist in this emerging market are available only to very specialised graduates (i.e. PhDs and senior researchers). You can't hit the other engineering jobs since EEs or MEs are preferred, and you can't hit the lab jobs since the biology and biochemistry faggots have a monopoly. The market is simply not ready for BME undergrads. Unless you're 100% sure you want to take it all the way to BME and continue with a PhD, don't bottleneck your choices.

Is it really better to get a general degree when you are going for your graduate?

I have my PhD in Biology and a specialization in quantitative ecology. My research focuses on understanding the abiotic and biotic factors that facilitate biological invasions, then using that information to predict invader exotic distributions. I guess I'd have to say the best subfield is ecology (especially field-based), but I'm biased.

>>9163193
how do you deal with getting shit on by harder biology fields?
Just realize we are all really jealous of your field trips, it comes from the heart. But man all the biochemistry and molecular biology PIs really shit on ecology kek

>>9163207
I've never really been bothered by how other disciplines view my own. I know the value of my work and don't care if others think less of it. Besides, it's always fun when some biochemist or molecular biologist who is stats-phobic comes and asks me for help with their simple analyses. It's an easy way to beef up my CV with second or third authorships.

Im currently studying WNS In bats

There is a fungus called psuedogymnoascus destructans that grows on bat skin (its substrate) and prevents them from hibernating, killing them.

There is a virus that was discovered that lives in the fungus that --may-- cause the increase in virulence

The issue is that bats in europe who are affected by this fungus do not die

the fungus in europe as it appears does NOT have this virus living inside them


What im studying is whether or not this virus has evolved to increase the virulence of the fungus in North America psuedogymnoascus destructans species.

Since the semester started I have been mailing various professors who have done the research about this fungus (there are less than 100 papers on this since its discovery in 2015)

there are multiple studies done on why bats are dying due to this fungus and I am researching whether or not a virus that only lives inside the north american version of the fungus has something to do with it.

There is almost no biochemical analysys done on this virus (called pd-pv pa) (pa because its the pensylvania version of the virus)

>>9164889
Ah I didn't know, I studied computer science and have only worked on bioinformatics from that perspective. I'd actually like to continue in this area after graduation but I'm not sure what the best route would be. Should I study more biology? Most of my backgroung so far with bioinformatics had me relying heavily on someone who knew more about the biological aspects and I just threw their data through some Machine Learning tools.

>>9164904
All I know is that companies tend to prefer bioinformaticians who also know their biology as well, so if you'd like to continue you should delve the science. Only if you're interested though, because in every other computer science/programming field you won't be competing with life science grads that know their programming. So it depends on your interests really, balance out the pros and cons.

I've always been interested in genetics and molecular chemistry topics. I'm more interested in designing tools and algorithms for usage than just using the tools. Do you think just self teaching myself the biology topics will suffice for companies?

bioinformatics/cheminformatics will stomp all over these fields quite soon

How do I get into cancer research?

Or anything related to cancer

>>9165278

smoke a lot of cigaratttes

drink tap water

only eat GMOs and fast-food

>>9165278
Tumblr would be a good place to start

>>9165443
or read this post

so you're a glorified IT guy, good for you

Got a question for ye, lads.
When performing metabolic engineering for terpene synthesis, the two candidates are e coli or yeast. Am I correct in assuming that the reason researchers like e. coli is because it's a blank slate, and the reason they like yeast is because they already have the pathways built in and have cytochrome p450 reductases?

We chose topics for my senior seminar group presentation today. I remember reading your post, and so we agreed to present on WNS in bats. Would you be able to link me to any interesting literature? We have found a few alreay, but I would like to ask if you have any that you would personally recommend.

Thanks senpai

usually the most important reason to use yeast over ecoli is that yeast have nuclei
otherwise no major differences

>>9166080
OK, thank you.

It really seems to me that the choice which one to use is entirely at the whim of the scientist. Is that correct thinking?

Are you at university yet? Send emails to professors who study cancer in their labs and set up meetings if they're interested in you.

>>9166110
no. the model organism has to be most carefully evaluated.

>>9166509
What do you mean by that? The one most suited to the job? The one that's been the most researched?

>>9165918
Don't know about terpene synthesis but a general concept in protein synthesis is that Yeast is able to do some post translational modifications that are relevant to Eukaryotic proteins.

>>9166744
In The Literature, Takahasi refers to yeast being able to do downstream processing. That said, someone else has made the terpenoid I'm interested in, in e. coli.
So It's a tossup

>>9166757
I believe E coli is also cheaper to grow, faster to grow, and generally a lot less picky than Yeast, should that could be an advantage.

anon let's teach each other
You teach me C.S, I'll teach you bio

Do you have a personal tutor or something similar? Ask them, they know this shit.

Biochemistry is the best subfield
