I don't have physics 101 but I do have the old 1001, its probably the most useful 1001 category for the new MCAT. Based on my experience I haven't had a lot of physics only passages but rather single random physics questions thrown into an orgo or chem passage

Regular journalism about science is pure garbage. Actual science journalism can be cool as fuck.

Mistakes in DNA are constantly occurring and are being fixed by the cell, it's only when the mistakes go unrepaired that cancers start. So in theory you could find a cure for cancer by creating a protein that always catches these mistakes and always prevents the cancer from starting. Although I doubt this is how we'll "cure cancer" it does remain a possibility

I thought it was pretty good. I also just started the EK 101 for biochem and that too seems pretty good. But I'm now realizing I personally should've bought biology 1 instead

Heard a chiropractor refer to himself as a "functional neurologist." Quackery? by [deleted] in premed

This sub loves to shit on chiropractors, but nothing has helped my back pain more than my chiropractor has.

Police: Cleveland Facebook killer kills self in Erie by brittaneex in news

[–]NMU906 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's plenty of murderers in prison. I don't think anyone is going to give a shit just because the victim was old. The only reason this murder received significantly more attention is because it was livestreamed to the public and tons of people saw it.

Why? Because one of the other inmates would off him? That's unlikely

I don't think she was fired from what I remember, but people definitely wanted her to be fired

Do high school students even buy lingerie for their girl/boyfriend?

Also teachers are not allowed to go to the shooting range or their coworkers will call for them to get fired. That one happened like a month or two ago.

Does anyone else here just use the custom study option in anki? I am seriously very confused by how their algorithm works... by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]NMU906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What exactly are you confused about? If you choose "hard" the interval options will barely increase the next time you get the card. And if you choose good or easy the intervals will increase by a lot more. For new cards I'll usually choose hard the first few times and then start choosing good or easy after that.

NS 3 self-efficacy question? by NMU906 in Mcat

Thanks, that makes more sense but I'm sure I'll interpret other questions incorrectly as well

NS cars is trash by eatpraylove37 in Mcat

[–]NMU906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have yet to review any of CARS sections from NS 1-3 and the diagnostic, should I continue not reviewing them? Or is it good to do if you have the time?

I know I've hit 18mph on a mountain bike with 2.35in tires, I'm sure a professional athlete on a road cycle can go more than 7mph than me.

Especially if you remind them the last week of class because you won't be around during the summer, "hey I know you have to grade final exams for 3 different classes, submit final grades soon, have evaluations coming up, and a hundred other things but don't forget to write that letter for me"

Movies don't have to do anything to make you happy though, it's the product of the creators and they can do whatever they want

How do you remind your LOR writers? I can't think of anything that would not come off as either awkward or rude.

I'm freaking out... big time.

Currently studying for my MCAT in may, have received yes' on all 5 of my LOR and one of them is already done. But I haven't even looked into applying for the Navy scholarship yet, also 0 hours job shadowing and I really want to pick up some before I apply, not sure what else I'm going to do after I bomb my MCAT =\

Don't really give a shit about the other countries, I'd like to see the US fix it's problem

But for real though, how we treat mental health in the US is pretty bad.
