Still would like to eat dirt

Drinking so much Rooibos + Chai I fee so alive

Song choice: Sextape by Deftones

Gender reveal parties, and big planned reveals, literally were not a thing ten, fifteen years ago. Don’t let anyone pull that “it’s a tradition!” crap on you, youngsters. They’re LYING. People would either get the ultrasound or not to find out about the genitals, and tell people or not. That was that.

The fuss over “revealing” a baby’s gender in utero stinks of pushback against the shift toward a more nuanced understanding of gender. I mean yeah part of it is social media, and trends catching on, but don’t think for a minute this isn’t part of some regressive attitudes creeping into the mainstream with a cute (blue or pink) bow on it.

G'day! Lets do 📍🗑️📖 for the ask game <3

Hello hello, tysm for the ask!! <3

🗑️ have you always wanted to be in your field? what was your “almost-field?

already answered this question here, but TLDR: i never really had a dream field, and my almost field was something along the lines of computer science

📖 a book/reading from your field you’d recommend/really enjoyed?

uuuh okay, i never really read many books in my field. Im currently using Physics in Nuclear Medicine to study for my radiation class, and im really enjoyed it so far. it's really easy to read, and explains everything so well, even if you don't remember all the basic formulas and concepts.

Also, Stuart's Calculus was really fun, tho i only read a couple chapters

📍 an academic pet peeve of yours?

ARGHHHH this literally happened to me today. FUCKIN. MEN. INTERRUPTING. YOU. AS. IF. THEY. HAVE. MORE. IMPORTANT. THINGS. TO. SAY. THAN. YOU. i know this happens in all fields, but omg some STEM men are just so awful, today this guy was interrupting me so much during class when the professor asked ME to speak, that eventually the professor had to ask him to shut up (which was even more surprising bc he's so his favorite student)

Also, med students belittling my medicine subjects. we're literally learning the same thing, bestie. and even if we weren't, you don't see me mocking your joke of math's class (this is mostly a Portugal problem tbh, we still act like med students are gods)

and lastly, constants in physics being called K, like all of them. and other naming mistakes in variables, like kinetic energy sometimes being T??? and frequency being a weird ass greek letter that looks like a v

anyways, sorry for the huge post, i loved answering those questions <3

Which search engine is best for academic research? Hint: It's not Wikipedia

PubMed

PubMed is a free resource supporting the search and retrieval of biomedical and life sciences literature with the aim of improving health–both globally and personally.

The PubMed database contains more than 34 million citations and abstracts of biomedical literature. It does not include full-text journal articles; however, links to the full text are often present when available from other sources, such as the publisher's website or PubMed Central (PMC).

Available to the public online since 1996, PubMed was developed and is maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), at the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM), located at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Google Scholar

Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts, and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities, and other websites. Google Scholar helps you find relevant work across the world of scholarly research.

Semantic Scholar

Semantic Scholar provides free, AI-driven search and discovery tools, and open resources for the global research community. With Semantic Scholar, researchers can understand a paper at a glance. Our system extracts meaning and identifies connections from within papers, then surfaces these insights to help Scholars discover and understand research.

Connected Papers

Connected Papers is a unique, visual tool to help researchers and applied scientists find and explore papers relevant to their field of work.

Research Rabbit

Research Rabbit is starting with our Discovery app which unlocks a completely novel way to search for papers and authors, monitor new literature, visualize research landscapes, and collaborate with colleagues.

yeah.
