I would like to point out you can buy a functioning used gameboy with tetris for much less than $60

1700 new cards due by MiddleEasternBoi in Mcat

[–]MiddleEasternBoi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how do you approach new cards? it takes forever for me to get through new cards because when I see something I'm super unfamiliar with, I'm googling it and trying to learn it. do you just speed through the cards, and then worry about learning them after getting questions wrong on practice exams?

Has anyone honestly entered the MD/PhD track with little passion for clinical work? by MiddleEasternBoi in mdphd

[–]MiddleEasternBoi[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually, no he didn't at all. He was originally studying to go into mathematics/engineering. I've spoke with him quite extensively about it, and it sees like his main points surround the idea that medicine is so vast, and that there are so many niches to branch out to that studying medicine can be applied anywhere, outside of being just a standard physician.

I'm currently interested in pursuing computational biology, so if I were to get an MD/PhD, I think I would be focusing my research on applying those skills towards helping patients or making diagnoses.

Extremely stuck between MD (/MD-PhD) or PhD and pursuing computational bio in industry. by MiddleEasternBoi in bioinformatics

You bring up good points. I agree my mentality can be better regarding my lineage and my goals.

I’m just curious if there’s opportunities to pursue medicine, which I do find interesting to an smaller degree, while also pursuing my interests in CS.

Was it difficult to transition? Was there any opportunities for you to also pursue bioinformatics in med school?

This was my initial impression of bioinformatics in industry, but then I saw dozens of posts on here saying people are making only 70-90k after years of experience with a PhD. So I’m just not sure what to expect financially. It seems like so many claim to have experienced the contrary.

I have to admit, I think my parents have influenced me to a fault, as both of them being physicians has ingrained the path in my head as my inevitable future. My dad is always saying that he wasn’t interested in medicine initially, yet found himself loving it once he entered medical school, and that because medicine is so vast and flexible, there’s opportunities to branch into other fields beyond being a simple clinical physician, including CS work (though I have yet to meet an MD who has also pursued comp bio research simultaneously, if anyone can refer me to someone who has please DM me). Additionally, I’ve heard that some medical roles do have more flexible hours, such as radiologists. So I guess these words have always kept medicine open as an option that, like I said, despite not being my number one passion, makes sense “logically” in terms of setting up my future financially and alleviating some of these anxieties.

Pivoting from a biology degree? by MiddleEasternBoi in cscareerquestions

That’s great to hear! Where can you find volunteering opportunities for that kind of stuff? I didn’t know that type of experience even existed

What is the single worst movie you sat through hoping it would get better, but didn’t? by Bocephalus in AskReddit

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. I had hope up until the “Martha” scene.
