Histology lab rat here, going back to school to get a degree since my work is paying for it.
I'm looking for any book 0-Hero book recommendations for chemistry and BioChem, that'd be greatly appreciated.
I need to test out of as many chem and Bio-Chem classes as I can, since the school only allows me to take one of these classes per semester, (I already have all the other requirements for the degree fulfilled). The idea of Waiting 6+ semesters while doing 1 class per semester seems like such a drag.
I'll also answer any questions regarding histology and the industry for anyone curious.

>displacement, velocity, acceleration, jerk, snap, crackle, pop, ...
Why does physics always stop at acceleration and never take into account higher derivatives? Is it because math at the second level is the most elegant and anything with higher derivatives and jet bundles becomes computationally too tedious/ugly? Or does the second level already completely entail all higher levels?

How far are we from creating programmable synthetic cells?
They will be similar to biological cells, the only difference is that their memory/DNA can be reconfigured at any time.
Think of the microbots from big hero 6 but with the additional advantage of being able to duplicate themselves and create any object/substance possible as long as they have access to the required materials and energy for it.
Future robots will most likely be entirely made out of these cells.
🧵 Feminist scientists upset at Alan Turing Institute

There’s a multitude of disparities between the sexes, with probably more than 50 percent of them favoring women. Examples would be how 92 percent of workplace deaths involve men, female fashion models being paid notably more than their male counterparts, and women being more likely than men to attend and graduate from college. This isn’t good enough for the social engineers, though: Any disparity favoring men, even in the tiniest little corner of any field, must be highlighted and eradicated under the pretext of “equality.”
A recent example is that the “UK’s national artificial intelligence (AI) institute has been riven by a diversity row after staff signed a letter questioning the appointment of four male senior scientists,” reports The Telegraph. The paper continues:
>Employees and researchers at the Alan Turing Institute, Britain’s flagship data science and AI research organisation set up in 2015, questioned whether its “commitment to inclusivity” was being followed in its hiring process.
>More than 180 people signed the letter … after four top male academics were appointed in February. The signatories said the hiring suggested a “continuing trend of limited diversity within the institute’s senior scientific leadership”.
>In the letter, addressed to chief executive Dr Jean Innes [the woman who runs the place] and its operations lead and chief scientist, the staff said: “This is an excellent time to reflect on whether all voices are being heard and if the institute’s commitment to inclusivity is being fully realised in our recruitment and decision-making practices.”

can someone explain on a theoretical level why microevolution is possible and macroevolution is not? I'm not looking for debate about whether macro happened or not, simply why it's possible for small changes can evolve over small periods of time but it's impossible for large changes to evolve over large periods of time. can anyone enlighten me?

Do you guys use youtube videos or free online courses to learn anything? There was a few years where a ton of content was available for free but then they paywalled everything and youtube ruined their search functionality to only show based boy I LUV SCIENCE trash. Is it still a thing? I had my own website like 10 years ago that listed high value organic chemistry youtube videos because it was impossible to search for but I let it die.
