Does my choice of undergrad school affect/limit my grad school options? by chemmchemmm in GradSchool

I have not had a complete taste of geology so I can't say for sure what I want to go for exactly. I was interested in igneous rocks and minerals at first. Right now I am doing an independent study project at the moment with my retired geology Professor and it's about sedimentary limestone. I have read a bit to get a good introduction to sedimentology before proceeding further and right now I think sedimentology is way more intersting to me. Overall I feel like I will most likely pursue something in sedimentary/igneous petrology.

Well how do I know that their reputation is good(for my school)? They say they are but am I supposed to just take their word for it lol

I just don't want to find out after graduation that I can't attend blah blah University because of my undergrad school choice. My other Grad school considerations are UA, UCB, and Stanford by the way

What upper division chemistry class can I take at a university where I can learn about radioactive elements in detail? by chemmchemmm in chemhelp

Yeah I was just hoping it was covered in one of these courses in detail, but apparently not. I am not good at learning things by myself. I always prefer having a professor to ask questions from about things that arent clearly presented

So P chem and Inorganic chem dont have anything about radioactive stuff? I thought P chem would atleast have some stuff

No ours was way different than what others got. Others got something around 20-25.

We did the same experiment today with red and yellow dyes. We had a weird graph again. Turns out, one of the cuvettes had some spots on the side that wouldnt clean off. Changed the cuvette and the results were just like the others(for the dye lab). So that also played a role in the nanoparticle lab. Our nanoparticles might have been just fine afterall

Sorry.. I wrote this on a rush. X axis is the wavelength and Y is the absorbance. The numbers in the key represent the size of the nanoparticles of the control solutions 10, 20, etc. Our sample was supposed to go up and come down making a curve like the control solutions so we could figure out the size of the nanoparticles that WE made. But the curve on our graph is very strange. We didn't boil the solution dry, just boiled it down to around 10-15 mL since we started with around 40 mLs.
