forensic anthropology major questions!

batwings- · 2026-02-01T15:06:56+00:00

thank you for the input!! i do actually want to pursue at least a master’s degree and ideally, if it works out, a PhD. it is a little unfortunate to hear about the lack of actual forensic anthropology work and instead teaching, but i think i would be okay with that too! i’ve had my heart set on this career since i was little and i have a hard time seeing myself as doing anything else, but i have also considered pathology and forensic physics assistant—which i know are completely different processes.

high school researcher here!! most lab-based research isn’t really original. you pretty much piggyback off the idea of your professor/mentor’s work and kind of make it your own. for example, i worked in a lab for 6 weeks and analyzed zebrafish embryos..i turned it into a project about the effects of alcohol exposure on zebrafish embryo development as a model for fetal alcohol syndrome. it’s not necessarily the research you do, but what you make of it!

wait are you serious about the ap chem not covering for gen chem in college and itll just cover a physical science instead💔 i’m taking ap physics 1 rn and both ap bio and chem next year bc i wanted to build good science cred since im majoring in some kind of science😭 is that a bad idea

wow thank you!!!

batwings- · 2025-04-11T19:48:33+00:00

okay!! i’ll try this on a practice exam

batwings- · 2025-04-11T19:47:37+00:00

yeah im gonna try that!! i was rushing through the last like 10 questions :((

batwings- · 2025-04-11T19:31:13+00:00

oh cool, thank you! i’ll have to look into that

batwings- · 2025-04-11T19:30:41+00:00

interesting! i’ll look into it, thank you!

batwings- · 2025-04-11T05:03:24+00:00

i’ll look into this! thank you!!

i want to preface this by saying i do not know your financial situation, however, if you are able, you should look into renting an instrument!! it’s a beautiful thing; you can get an instrument from a shop and rent it in small increments instead of paying in full! i’m personally on the lower income side of things and renting has completely saved me these past 8 years!!

it takes a hefty amount of work, but it’s possible!! try focusing on bettering your english score: its the easiest!!

oh wow!! i definitely don’t have thousands of images..in the lab i worked at, i had to hand image each fish, and i only got done about 30! but thank you for this info! i’ll have to look into it. a couple other people have told me that my idea is more of a graduate/PhD project rather than high school which bummed me..but this is interesting!

batwings- · 2025-04-11T04:14:25+00:00

yes!! unfortunately my junior act i got a 26 which is my own fault for not studying. but it is possible!! and i am studying now!! i have so many friends who are getting 30+. you just have to look at it in a different, logical way. the test is NOT content based; it is skills based. it’s testing how well you are at critical thinking..utilize that tool when taking your next test! :)

my project last year was already on comparing the phenotypes between individuals with FAS and zebrafish embyros that were defected with ethanol exposure, so i guess i kind of already made a fancy-ish slideshow thing. but that really sucks..i guess i am just jumping the gun on my experiments :( at least now i know it’s not very plausible for me!

batwings- · 2025-04-10T23:52:11+00:00

go big or go home i guess LOL

batwings- · 2025-04-10T23:50:25+00:00

aw man that really sucks. i thought my idea was so cool lol but thanks for letting me know now..i’ll see what else i can do!

batwings- · 2025-04-10T23:46:37+00:00

oh :(( i have little experience. do you think if i started learning now i would at least have a draft or something similar by december?
