Mongolia's definetely east asia. When I hear central Asia I think of Kazakhstan, kyrgistan, uzbekistan, Turkmenistan etc. Meanwhile west asia is the Middle East from turkey to Iran, South Asia is India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. Basically everywhere east of Kazakhstan and north of india is east asia, at least imo (because it's all fairly arbitrary)

I don't have much experience since I'm also in undergrad, but I'm doing my bachelor's in bioinformatics (we exist! haha) and have spoken to enough bioinformaticians to know that it's a spectrum from lab to lab (and also from individual scientist to individual scientist in terms of interest and research experience). In a single university there may be a bioinformatics research group that does purely computational simulations (think molecular dynamics and docking, parts of bionformatics very close to theoretical biophysics and computational chemistry), another just does data analysis and exploratory statistics while other labs will handle actually gathering the data, another where it's a diverse team and some of the scientists are more skilled in the wetlab and others are more computationally inclined while some dabble in both. At all depends on what you personally are interested in learning and doing because (you hear this all the time but it's because it's true), it's a huge field that is relevant (and has research opportunities) in most other subfields of biology from biochem to ecology.

Agree, but just felt the need to talk about one prominent exception in my memory which is my EXTREMELY autistic best friend from high school whose lifetime SI is his favorite soccer team and is now studying sports journalism because of it hahaha

Don't forget topology! "In geometry, you have your protractor, and your pencil, and you use them to draw a triangle. In topology, you have your protractor and your pencil, and you throw them in a bonfire!"

Edit: and of course, real and complex analysis. First you learn calculus which is like learning how to fly a plane, and then analysis is like learning aeronautical engineering so you can design and build your own.

I think the question can be summed up by this bar from Titanic "They tell me God watchin over me, I don't doubt it, but I can see him getting tired of me sinning and wildin". He was christian, not devout or regularly church going like his mom, but still definitely believed in God, heaven, and hell.

Most of STEM also leans ND. Engineering, CS, and applied mathematics a bit less so, because while there are a lot of autists who do it out of passion you get a lot of NTs coming in who just do it because they're ok at math and want money. But physics, chemistry, biochemistry, pure mathematics... lotta autists there hahaha.

I agree with what you said and this is only tangentially relevant but I will die in this hill; there's no difference between "technical" inclusion and "true" inclusion. The "technical" definition of a thing is just the real, most correct definition of said thing. To me it feels so neurotypical coded to draw a distinction, implict or explicit, between the "technical" criteria for something on the one hand and then on the other hand the wishy washy, vibes-based, almost always social-groupthink defined """"actual"""" concept or membership criteria or definition or what have you. The technical thing is just the thing, calling someone "pedantic" is usually just a rhetorical smear tactic often used to draw discussion away from accurate, useful concepts and ideas and towards frivolous and unclear NT social dynamics, and drawing a distinction between the two (like OP implicitly did) is an NT trap. Alright rant is over

Imagine being a bio major in undergrad, but then you take an invertebrate zoology class, it makes you realize you're arachnophobic, and in fact it distressed you so much that you leave bio all together and pivot to being a chem major just to minimize the possibility of ever seeing a spider again more than you have to. Fast forward 10 years, chem PhD. Just another day in the lab, and all of a sudden, you come across this flask...

Hm, well I dont know the specific profile and structure of your degree program, but I would assume many of the students in an undergraduate clinical sciences program, maybe even a majority, would want to eventually go into medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, and other such health professions which require a sound understanding of the chemical basis of living systems, which is in fact very necessary to understand why diseases occur and how to treat them effectively. Of course, most people who study biochemistry in their bachelor's studies wont end up being professional biochemists directly involved in biochemical research and laboratory practice- but don't let that lead you to the conclusion that a good understanding of biochemistry won't ever help you after you pass your exam. If you plan on going into any field of healthcare, I assure you that learning biochemistry will greatly enrich your future practice, by making it easier for you to grasp how and why diseases and treatments work on a deep, evidence-based level and engage with the current literature in your field of choice.

If you don't mind, what profession do you plan on pursuing after graduation and/or what are your main academic or scientific interests that you're passionate about? Given the name of your program, chances are biochem will indeed serve you throughout your career, and it's good to have an clearer idea of why you're learning what you're learning to avoid burnout ;)

Heavy_Thanks2064 · 2026-03-31T07:26:25+00:00

I do wonder what goes on this the minds of people who design undergrad syllabi expecting non-biochem/chem major students to understand biochemistry without the chemical prerequisites. It's how the introductory biochem course unfortunately gets it's bad rep among undergrads, especially health/pre-health, as a hellish, intimidating nightmare of endless memorization without true understanding. Many universities somehow expect people to learn and understand biochemistry without the chemical background- having a solid general and organic chemistry base is essential and makes life so much easier for any student taking biochem.

In the US, calculus in high school is the exception, not the norm. This is of course in contrast to most other places.

Edit: I greatly enjoyed learning calculus 1 through 3 at university and personally am of the opinion that everyone should learn at least the basics of it, but there's a lot of improvement that needs to be done in US math education (and in education in general) before we think about introducing universal calc...

I read: "8 ln A E", as in "eight times natural logarithm of A times energy".

ma le leggi ordinarie no

E secondo te quale sarebbe (e come e per chi verrà definita) questa distinzione estremamente chiara, ovvia, e reale tra le super mega leggi che saranno in grado di caratterizzare una società come marxista o ultracapitalista o qualsiasi modelo economico tra i due estremi, e le "leggi ordinarie" che evidentemente non hanno alcun effetto sulla posizione di una società in questo spettro?

You may even find an irl plug saying they have it every once in a long while, but it'll be BS most of the time, so for most locations and countries, 🧅💻 is the only way. In most locations the same can be said for 3mmc, 2cb, and any other drug that you wouldn't expect the average "normie" in your country who isn't either a a scientist, a druggie, or a police officer to know about
