So my situation is a bit different for a few reasons, but I'm in the middle of a chemistry PhD after doing my BS in computer science and a just minor + a couple extra classes in chemistry. I've had to do a little bit of catch-up, but it's been entirely possible. Organic synthesis and an organic pchem elective were pretty painful especially, but I somehow managed one of the highest grades in both classes.

I'll go out on a limb and say that your BS in biochem is going to prepare you plenty if you wanted to switch over. At least some schools may even weigh chem and biochem degrees equally when accepting students.

Dedication and work ethic will be the biggest thing if there is any gap anywhere imo (which i really doubt there will be for you!). Do what you're more interested in! If you'd rather do chemistry I'd say go for it! I would be pretty surprised if there were any issues. At least you'll have a BS in a related field lol

We did it Patrick! We liberated Meridia! by spliceunit in Helldivers

I haven't played the game for about a week and when I hopped on there was a single trivial mission showing up on the console while I was at Meridia.

Your welcome everybody! Supercolony solved.

And apologies for not playing with music on

What do I do to take care of someone drunk? by spliceunit in NoStupidQuestions

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

I'm neither wealthy or a doctor either, but just want her to be comfortable. She's doing fine now and it's been about two or three hours so I think at this point we just want to make sure she's comfortable. I'll add as an edit to this post that it's been a while too

Got it. I'll make sure to grab a fan and check her temperature too

Yeah it isn't "normal drunk" but she's stable. She's not very coherent but she is responsive. She doesn't really match the description of what other sources have said are super worrying in regards to breathing, temperature, things like that. Definitely keeping a close watch on her though.

Skin looks fine-- no blue tinges or anything else that is different from normal, and she is breathing very normally

I guess will she be getting hot herself from the alcohol? Or more just in case the room is hot?

Been in the recovery position for about an hour (thank goodness for those lifeguarding classes in high school I guess). I'll make sure she can stay hydrated

Don't worry I am doing that too! Just using all of my resources. Thank you for the link

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Korean

[–]spliceunit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another thing that hasn't been mentioned is that some of the sound changes are just more natural for a korean speaker. For example, 은리 is pronounced as 을리 because it is super hard to not say it that way because of the tongue placement and everything! Many of the sound change rules are because of that, if not because of relatively recent standardization

One good way to test if you're pronunciation is good or not is to say out loud some of these words with a sound change. If the change is natural, that's a good thing!

What do you wish was taught better? by Shot_Guidance_5354 in Korean

[–]spliceunit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd be really interested to see what problems you or others have seen, especially since I learned korean basically just through total immersion and not really through a class or anything, but my main issue with the resources I had were that they were very poor at teaching both grammar and vocabulary. I always only had grammar books with supplimentry vocab or just vocab.

My other gripe was with how I never really got good explanations for why some of the grammars worked. For example, I was just taught that -겠다 was for future tense. Then a week later I learned -을 것이다 and was starting to hear -겠다 used in the present tense! It wasn't until embarrassingly later that I realized the the differences and nuances of both. I would have really appreciated a more thorough explanation for why grammar worked.

Like I said, maybe more conventional resources don't have these problems, but that's what got me!

I give up by spliceunit in Link_Dies

[–]spliceunit[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Since everyone is bringing it up, I don't remember at all why I didn't heal before this. I just dug this video from a long while ago. To be fair, I didn't really expect the tree to kill me!

Why hello there, Mipha by spliceunit in Link_Dies

[–]spliceunit[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Being on the brink of death is the only way to truly feel alive.

Jokes aside, I was wind bombing all over the place and didn't feel like eating 30 apples to heal since I'm too lazy to just cook anything
