Rolling_Hafi Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 I enjoy doing Microbiology 😍 The way a bacteria grows is just magnificent & being able to see it under the microscope is wonderful, Not to mentioned All the lab works & Food Science, 😍 Becos it teaches me so many new and interesting facts & findings about food that u can't get just by being a foodie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve5380 Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 As an electrical engineer with advanced studies of electro-optics I have always applied the very important science physics. But now that I am beyond having a profession, all sciences appeal to me. As such I worship the human activity of science: "the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment."

sgmaven Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) Chemist by training, but have delved in all manner of physical sciences, as well as medical sciences. Would say that Chemistry is still my first love, although I wouldn't shut out any of the sciences. Even did courses in Nuclear Sciences! As to why I like Chemistry? Perhaps because it is more tangible than the more abstract sciences like Physics. Love the lab work, although so much of what I did was pretty toxic!

Want something more tangible than the Newton laws of physics, the apple released from the Tower of Pisa moving DOWN, with constant acceleration? Or the diffraction of light by a prism? My only practice of chemistry I do in my kitchen, cooking my food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many very tangible experiments of electricity and magnetism and electromagnetism and optics and radiation, all fields of physics, not only for research projects in grad school but also for lab projects in high schools. What is not common in projects of physics but frequent in projects of chemistry is... the smell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is not common in projects of physics but frequent in projects of chemistry is... the smell! I guess it really depends on what you consider a combination of "exciting" and "tangible". There are a lot of things that are tangible, but not very "exciting" to me. Pointing a few lasers through materials to see what happens, for example, does not interest me at all. Even in Chemistry, one can say that spending all the time in the lab, "cooking" up something, without any visible changes seems a bit boring to me. The colour changes, crystals forming, etc, are much more up my alley. As for the smell, perhaps you never used fume hoods? 😂 Quote Слава Україні!

Dart Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Biology is the only branch of science that intrigues me. The study of Flora and Fauna, each creation is unique with its own supporting system. When I am in bed with him, the study of Anatomy comes to life. I would stimulate various parts and observe his responses 😄 Stereotyping view that boys are into Physics and girls are into Chemistry and what about Biology? I leave it to your imagination .... seekolderguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MC22 Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 Particle Physics. Be at the forefront of human knowledge. Go where humanity have not ventured. Everybody says it's very abstract and tough. They used to say that for electricity like it's black magic. But now we take electricity for granted. Smartphones, electric cars, computers would be voodoo 100 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auscent Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) Any sciences. They cant explain everything. But it ... saves us (vaccines, medicines) ... comforts us (air cond, tap for water) ... connects us (flights, videochats) ... nourishes us (fridge for storage, import of exotic food) ... protects us (biological basis for gender studies, weapons) Edited August 3, 2022 by auscent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go where humanity have not ventured. Particle physics seems to deal with things that are so small... all little pieces... Astronomy deals with objects that are larger, and it constantly pushes the limits of physics, with the help of some chemistry. But... why seek the extremes?
