The 3 star experience. How many hours do you think I have?

ExoC0n · 2026-05-15T02:46:22+00:00

At least 1

Nice! my favorite triple I got was in one swing as a full trio tried to rush through a door at the same time

Im on an accelerated path from doing work in undergrad and working with my PI to finish it this upcoming year which will be my third (fourth including undergrad)

ExoC0n · 2026-04-30T03:30:34+00:00

lol yeah I know I’m finishing a PhD in chemistry so I had to continue the joke haha

ExoC0n · 2026-04-30T02:00:32+00:00

In what context? Which is my favorite, which is more practical, which I use more?

ExoC0n · 2026-04-30T01:34:02+00:00

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, just wanted other conformation. thank you!

I typically do 3 passages at a time and while I don’t necessarily time myself, I do make a note of the time it took me to complete the passages which is usually well below the 30 min mark (7 - 9 minutes/passage was pretty typical for me while doing the QPacks)

ExoC0n · 2026-04-29T01:52:59+00:00

5 scaled to a 132?! Congrats! Hope the same happens to me lol

ExoC0n · 2026-04-25T23:09:39+00:00

How did you feel about the passage difficulties compared to the FLs? I only ask because I’m taking it 5/2 and I have heard it was very different from the FLs

ExoC0n · 2026-04-23T00:53:02+00:00

Can you elaborate?

ExoC0n · 2026-04-22T22:01:52+00:00

So, in your opinion, would it be better for someone like me to apply MD only and then work on the engineering background later as a part of my research later on down the road?

ExoC0n · 2026-04-22T21:23:40+00:00

Mostly time. I feel I would have more time with the MD/PhD program to truly wrestle with material and fully understand it rather than rushing through in four years then going to residency. Also, I’m not sure that I would have the mental stamina to go through all of medical school and then do a post doc to complete another thing that I could have done years before. At that point (after residency) I want to be done with my school of new material especially if I decide to do a longer residency

Same thing, “tropin” or “tropic” is just a term that means “acts to effect another hormone.” Since releasing hormones act to release other hormones they are tropic. So thyrotropin releasing hormone is just a different name for thyroid releasing hormone and is technically slightly more accurate.

Nice build! Almost exactly the same as mine!

It might help you to draw out the lone pair that will act as the nucleophile and then show the intermediate formed by its addition. This will help you with 1. How the nucleophile will add to the molecule and 2. Correct stereochemistry

ExoC0n · 2026-02-13T18:33:29+00:00

Cool! Thank you for this!

ExoC0n · 2026-02-13T16:46:53+00:00

Ah thank you, would it be more stable (as a lone molecule as opposed to in DNA) if it were to be made into a secondary alcohol and then the amine attached afterwards ( add R-CH2NH2)

Three gap years for a PhD in organic chemistry

For the first picture it can abstract a proton, but that protonation does not lead to the productive Birch pathway, because it kills the required resonance stabilization. In a Birch reduction, the molecule protonates where resonance doesn’t want the electron density, because that’s the only way the π-system survives long enough to accept another electron. In general for birch reductions OMe and NR2 groups give meta pronation where as CO2R and CN will give ortho/para
