A place where STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) students specifically can talk, help each other, share their experiences and endeavors without the professional strict feel of some other science subreddits, we're all students after all. Vent about how many times a day you want to die when you look at your course-load but don't because your subject interest gets the better of you.

Rules

  • This is a safe place: no slander of any kind, everyone has rough days.

  • No bashing on people for their area of study (not even underwater basket-weaving). I'm tired of the stereotype that we all think that humanities and other things are useless. However, if you need to vent about how you hate your philosophy class because you don't get it and it frustrates you that's fine, just don't hate the field.

  • You don't have to be a STEM student to ask questions or seek help with something related to a course you're in. However, if it's a really deep complex answer /r/askscience may be what you seek but ask anyway!

  • Pictures must be somehow related to the subreddit, if you wanna show off your schools engineering building feel free but we don't need silly unrelated things like a picture of your new cat, unless you made the cat....

  • Just be contributive, helpful and enthused and we'll all be fine.

  • Don't Panic.

I’m a Biochem major and a degree in business is looking real sexy right abt now.

I’ve been a pre-med college student for abt 2 yrs now (4 semesters) and I am having breakdowns on the regular and the burn out is unbearable.

I used to love the life sciences and learning about bio and chem, but now attending any stem class feels like a chore and I hate it. I feel as though I’ve lost all interest in biology and medicine, and just thinking about doing the same shit for the rest of my life makes me wanna curl up in a ball, and die.

From yall’s experience, Is this just a phase that goes away, or is it time I consider a major change? And if you’re in this same situation but sticking with it, how tf are y’all coping/managing it cause I’m on the fuckin verge🥲

I am currently conducting a study as a graduate student at Lipscomb University. My study is directly about students and confidence in all levels and types of academic settings.

If you are a current student and have 13-15 minutes to complete this survey please do! This study is looking at personality and confidence in academic settings. You will be asked to respond to a series of questions related to feelings in an academic setting/as a student and take a personality test. Your responses will be kept confidential. You must be 18 years or older to participate in this study and you must be a current student in any level of education or program type.

Help!!

18 credits for Fall? Background: I’m a Molecular Bio Major,this is my last year,I’m in my 30’s took a couple of breaks in my academic journey. I would like to graduate next semester Fall 2023 and all the classes I have left are Bio classes. My schedule would be: Biochemistry (retake) Molecular Bio Lec Molecular Bio Lab Cell Bio Lec Bioethics (online) Biotechnology (online and I’ve taken the lower level of this and got an A) Should I spread these out and graduate in Spring 2024 or just finish up this fall?

Thinking of an astronomy related minor in college, stuck between astrophysics and planetary science

Hello everyone! Sorry if I am barking up the wrong tree here but I start my college journey next year. I have decided to major in aerospace engineering with a focus on astronautical engineering, and I’d like to have a minor degree to back myself up.

I am stuck between two astronomy-related degrees, astrophysics and planetary sciences, both of which I believe are minor degrees at the main college I am looking at.

I am incredibly fond of how things in space work, how the celestial bodies function, but I have an interest in planets since we will likely explore them more (we can’t send space probes to the stars yet, no?)

I spoke with my advisor and she said astrophysics is a great choice for what I am doing, but planetary sciences, while not related, is easier according to her (not sure if it is).

What do you think? Thank you

Edit: I chose not to major in either since most people who have degrees in both end up becoming teachers or professors, which isn’t something I see myself doing

Trouble deciding on how to continue my education

I graduated with a bachelors in business administration in marketing in December 2022 but with the job market being horrible and marketing being the first department usually cut it feels unreliable and I regret choosing that as my major, I have since been deciding between returning to school for a Bachelors in Computer Science OR a masters in Data Analytics. Both intrigue me but I’m not sure which path to take. I have registered to begin the bachelors In CS in the summer and if everything goes according to plan I should be done in about 2 years. However, I had already applied to Georgia Techs online Masters in Analytics program and just received my acceptance letter, the masters program will take about 24-72 months (self-paced). I feel like I am being drawn to one path more than the other but I would like to hear other’s opinions and thoughts on what I should do to make a more educated decision.

The Codebotics class at the Renaissance Youth Center created Smart Glasses for the visually impaired, using the Arduino Mega and ultrasonic sensors. This is an upgrade from the previous project, the Walking Stick.

Thesis survey (please help I'm desperate)

Hi everyone,

For my graduation project, I am aiming to research and identify how a gender-inclusive buddy program and built-in activities empower and advance women in STEM. The essence of the solution is that in STEM-related workplaces, buddy programs are set up between men and women in an office to address the systemic challenges of advancing and elevating women in STEM. In addition to the buddy program, there will be monthly or bi-weekly activities, seminars, workshops, and exercises that are meant to teach, inform, and put into practice how men can be better allies for women in STEM, and also how women can advance their own careers and practices.

The solution still needs to be fine-tuned, which is why I need your help. I currently have a survey out to get the opinions of men and women in STEM . I need lots of respondents and I'm not there yet, far from it to be perfectly honest. I would appreciate it if you could take five minutes of your time to answer my survey, I believe the foundation of this idea works, and with your feedback, I could make it better! Thank you in advance, I appreciate it.

Please note there are two surveys. One for women to fill out and one designated for men.

Men in STEM

I'm really desperate out here so I'd appreciate it if you took five minutes out of your day to fill this out.

My thoughts of continuing education are dead right now..

I returned to school after 10 years of being out and went into a STEM field (Medical Laboratory Science w/ plans of attending PA school) and I swear I don’t feel like the stress is worth it at this point.

I was kicking ass my first few semesters (back to back 4.0 semesters) and I’m currently in Gen Chem II and it is ripping me to shreds. Idk wtf is going on.

May I ask what are the currently unmet clinical needs in medicine that a SHS STEM student like me can create a research capstone project for? Please share your ideas, thank you!

Help is filling out a form for a scholarship an engagement for an internship?

Hello, as I said I am currently an undergraduate student in the faculty of science. I applied for three research internship in a laboratory under the supervision of a professeur. One of them answered me and accepted me and I am still waiting for the response of the other 2. The thing is that the professor that accepted me and agreed to welcome me in her laboratory asked me to fill out a forum for scholarship and the deadline is tomorrow. Since I still didn’t receive the answer from the two other internship, I was wondering if filling out this form is an engagement and if i can’t back off from the offer in the futur if something happens and another insternship accepted me? Thank you and p’ease help me or advise me on what to do
