Thanks! One of my pet peeves is when someone replies to their own thread with "Found the answer!" but never says what the answer is! I stumble across those threads all the time while searching the internet.

This thread is almost five years old!

The logo is represents the orbits of 3 major comets (Hayakutake, Hale-bop, Halley's) around the sun. Measure the angles and look it up.

If you're reading this from the domain scienceforums.net, everything should be working now..

Why must you be so picky? Good observation, though.

"Original" is just a mental construct. If we're going to play originals, all of your original atoms are long gone. There is no functional difference between a perfect clone (intangibles et al) and the "original". One could reasonably, I believe, argue that there is no philosophical or functional difference, and thus the distinction is an arbitrary idea.

I love it. Some small images need their corners trimmed, but I can do that when I get back later this evening

Dave's link above is bored, here's the corrected one: http://scienceforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=25742

But, but, you said!

I leave comments complaining, but I rarely do anything to fix it. hah!

I'm a bit late to the show, but to echo other sentiments, don't take the easy route just because it is easy. It will come back to haunt you in the long run. You want to be challenged in undergrad, because medical school is like trying to drink from a fire hydrant. This is completely anecdotal, but some of my friends in school who had "easier" majors seemed to have more trouble adjusting. Typically pre-meds pick majors that fulfill the pre-reqs for medical school as a part of the degree (biology and chemistry mostly), but don't chose a major for this reason alone. If English interests you, study it. In theory the prereqs for medical school are the only subjects tested (aside from verbal reasoning) on the MCAT. So if you take just the bare pre-reqs and you did well in them, you should have at least seen most of what you need to know. A higher level science course such as biochemistry or genetics will not help you other than to refresh your memory on things you've already learned. In many programs you won't even be qualified to take biochemistry until after you've taken the MCAT. Study what you want, work hard in whatever major you chose, and do well.

Whoever it was who forgot to pay the bill needs to be strung up.

I got the book for Christmas. I'll be starting it soon!

Woot, will you be going home or what?

Congrats!! /me gives virtual pat on the back.

Do you have an idea on where to begin, or are you getting stuck at a certain point?

I can't stress what abciximab said enough, DO NOT TAKE OR SWITCH TO ST. JOHN'S WORT UNTIL YOU'VE SEEN YOUR DOCTOR AND TALKED WITH HIM OR HER ABOUT IT. There are some potentially serious drug-interactions. To answer your original question, you'll have to see your doctor as well. Anti-depressants, particularly SSRIs and TCA's, are very dirty drugs (lots of nasty side-effects).

No way. Undergraduate science is largely quite doable without giving up much of your life at all. My friends and I always think back to the good ol' days of our undergraduate degrees (all of us had science majors). At the time we may have thought we had it bad but now we laugh at that idea. Some classes required more effort than others (organic chemistry and biochemistry come to mind), but doesn't even begin to demand the time that upper level studies do.

Of course you can! Many high school students entering college science majors have little to no science background. It's all about what you put into it.

I'm not sure what this question is asking--you can see all the leukocytes (eosinophils, basophils, mast cells, t & b lymphocytes, neutrophils, macrophages, plasma cells, etc), you can also see all the immune tissue (i.e. bone marrow, thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, peyer's patches, MALT, etc.)...

Both answers are correct -- rounding gives you near zeros. For your second x value: y = x^2 - 2x - 5 substituting -1.45 y = (-1.45)^2 - (-2.9) - 5 = 0 becomes y = 2.10 + 2.9 - 5 y = 0

This book is on my Christmas list

Haha, actually they're biting our heads off in school these days telling us to write legibly. At one hospital I visited this summer they had a huge posterboard size blowup of a doctor's handwritten note that literally looked like scribbles and scratches. It said, "Can you read this? If you can't, neither can the nurses." In my opinion its better to take an extra 5 seconds to write it out clearly than to get a call at 2am because someone can't read your handwriting and needs clarification.

Stabbing a semi-solid agar should do the trick Why doesn't your sister post?
