Lets have a thread discussing success in these institutions. How did you adjust to the differences between school and college/university? What behaviors did you need to change to succeed? If you could do it over again from the beginning, what would you do first? What would you do differently?
How come /sci/ has a ton of threads with basic science questions that can be answered elsewhere but not one to discuss the projects people are working on?
Let's talk about whatever research you're currently doing, whether it's cutting edge or old school, novel or a replicate, producing results or not.
I'll start:
I'm studying short chain fatty acids as a way to treat the oxidative stress formed in diabetic nephropathy. Turns out they are utilised by the mitochondria as an energy source and promote maturation by upregulating fusion genes and downregulating fission genes. Pic not related.

Why are chimps so fit?
They don’t lift, they don’t exercise and most are raised in confined zoos.
Is it something they eat?
Are they born with it?
Should find out why, the findings be applied to humans.
If there any zooologists or something rather here, it could be a job for you.
>I hope you know the name J. Philippe Rushton, who died in 2012. He did pioneering research on the nature and significance of racial differences, and his book, Race, Evolution, and Behavior is a classic. The race deniers have made it very hard to find, and they are now ganging up on the scientific journals that published his papers. Here is their latest triumph: a notice from the publication Psychological Reports, saying it has retracted three of his papers. And please note the reason at the bottom of the screen. “The research was unethical, scientifically flawed, and based on racist ideas and agenda.” Wow. A modern-day Doctor Mengele. The only specifics this notice gives is that Rushton was wrong “on the subject of intelligence and race.” Race differences in IQ are one of the most widely confirmed findings in the science of mental testing.
Here’s an article crowing about the retraction of “debunked anti-black race science.” Note the illustrations. They are a hodgepodge from a book published 164 years ago. All of these retracted papers were peer reviewed. Is the publisher going to name the scientists who reviewed Rushton’s methods, data, and conclusions, and say they had “racist ideas and agenda?” Why not? >Here’s another lovely case. Last year, Dr. Norman Wang wrote a paper for the Journal of the American Heart Association on “Race and Ethnicity Considerations for the Cardiology Workforce.” He warned that race preferences for non-whites in medical school means that some poorly qualified people are trying to become doctors. He wrote: “Long-term academic solutions and excellence should not be sacrificed for short-term demographic optics.” He added that people who want to be doctors “must be assessed as individuals on the basis of their personal merits, not their racial and ethnic identities.”
Some people claim they have aphantasia, and I'm sure you've heard of it.
These people believe imagination is something to be hallucinated, with closed-eye visuals and everything, as if they were tripping balls on psychedelics.
This is obviously not how it works, but I really don't know how else to describe a mental image other than it being located somewhere near the back of my skull.
And I don't need to close my eyes, which really only helps mitigate distraction.
Do you believe you have it? Any neuro-phd believe this shit is real?
I found this map on Wikipedia, it shows the distribution of Hominidae family.
Is this a mistake? How come the inhabitants of central Africa don't pass as Homo sapiens? And not just that they're not presented as modern humans, they are also presented as gorillas and such, I found it really derogatory. Is this true?
