Hi /sci/,

So I'm about to finish my first year of my PhD program. My interest is hep-th/nucl-th. I've been talking with a potential advisor (read some of his recent work and really enjoyed a talk he gave) who is supposed to be an expert in the field. We have a potential project we've been talking about to get me started in the field that I think is interesting and relevant to what i want to do. However, long term I'm worried our interests might clash.

His primary focus nowadays is developing numerical frameworks rather than analytical stuff whereas I am pretty much interested in only analytical work with computational stuff when needed. He's been accommodating but I'm worried if I stick with him then later on I might pigeon hole myself into comp phys bullshit.

Should I see where this advisor/project takes me or jump ship now and find a new one.

>pic for attention

These are my last days on 4chan and similar internet activities. It was only comedy. Picrelated is how I feel. I've planned my next 8 years. Majoring in Mathematics and doing a Ph.D after finishing at a 4-year college. My heros, even if they will be, are Mathematicians John Nash, David Hilbert, and G.H. Hardy. Nash, a curious individual. Hilbert, ambition with maturity. G.H. Hardy, beauty above all.

I'm a humanities major who decided to double major in math.
My degree is 210 ECTS humanities and 120 ECTS math.

What am I in for?

what do you call the way human limbs move in parallel and turns between oppossing body parts and the way it symetrically mirror each other?

Scientifically speaking, what's the best way to stop ruminating thoughts and brooding over things?

How well do you retain what you learn from reading, watching, and listening? Do you have to put more effort per unit of information because of a weak ephemeral memory?

Recently took a MENSA online IQ test, first couple questions were decent then it go to shit where I had to use my mind to visualize reflections and shit and I can't do that so I randomly picked answers. End result 97 IQ.

What would you do in my situation? My parents expect me to do STEM I just feel I don't have the intellect to do so.

scientifically speaking, why is super straight not considered a valid sexuality?

If you could instantly understand and have fully digested the content of any book completely RIGHT NOW which would it be?

>Actually happy

How is this even possible? I tried looking into it, and apparently, cotinine, a metabolite of nicotine, has huge potential of being a treatment for anxiety and depression. I don't have any solid data to support this, it is just something I read on wiki, but still, wtf.
The only bad side effect I experienced so far is that it is stimulating enough to make me stay up late even when I lack sleep.
