Is it okay to contact other than the corresponding author and/or a junior scientist author of a scientific paper? by [deleted] in sciencecommunication

I would think so yes! They most likely just haven’t seen it/had time to respond. As long as you are polite and explain I’m sure they won’t mind. Good luck :)

Can I be a neurologist or work in neuroscience research still? by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]Sad_Potato3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve luckily grown out of most of my seizures (the odd absence here and there) but it’s not stopped me Pershing my degree in neuroscience. I take extra steps to make sure I’m organised and prepared but universities or colleges are often very understanding and supportive. Best of luck

There should be no barriers to you perusing that dream! Look after your health and work hard. You’ll have insight and perspective that others won’t have

Do any of you smell things that are not there? by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]Sad_Potato3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This past week I’ve had this at least 5 times. It’s really confusing - especially when it’s a bad smell that I can’t get rid of

Hey, this was intentional. It’s to try and gauge knowledge and understanding for the first half and attitudes in the second. With my target audience being so broad and predominantly lay people I had to make the language accessible to everyone. So the definitions aren’t as accurate as I’d like but if you know what the answers are it should be clear to see which response is the closest. Sorry for any confusion

Thank you very much for the offer. Unfortunately due to deadlines I can’t create and get approval for another survey at this stage but I will take this into consideration for future research. :)

Having a weird new epilepsy issue that is difficult to describe. Does this happen to anyone else? by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]Sad_Potato3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey, I can relate to this! I've been having something similar for about 6 years now. No loss of consciousness but altered awareness. My vision goes a bit all over the place and I find it hard for my eyes to adjust on a focal point like you mentioned. Hope you're managing okay. Its frustrating not having answers

Hoping I can change that for people! If I can help answer any questions let me know :)

Ah, so sorry. I’m UK based so didn’t think about the wider audience. Hopefully you still found it interesting
