Is there even a point in measuring your iq?
I graduated top of my class in school (private) and college (top ranked, stem major). My parents are stem academics.
Will knowing my iq somehow change my life? What's even the point?

🧵 Argentina’s researchers face catastrophe under Javier Milei

>The situation facing chemists and other researchers in Argentina is continuing to worsen under the country’s hard right President Javier Milei, who assumed the country’s helm in December. The sharp cuts to higher education, science budgets and professors’ salaries persist, prompting an estimated 1000 academics to take to the streets on 2 October to protest.
>After less than six months in office, Milei had already demoted the country’s science ministry and frozen funding for the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (Conicet), which funds the work of about 12,000 scientists at 300 research institutions. He has also frozen budgets at the country’s public universities that conduct most of the research carried out in the country, at their 2023 levels. And now, less than a year after becoming president, he has drastically reduced funding at public universities, crippling the salaries of professors and staff there.
>‘Salaries have lost about 50% of buying capacity while accumulated inflation is about 144% in one year,’ Alberto Kornblihtt, a molecular biologist and emeritus professor at the University of Buenos Aires, tells Chemistry World. The country’s annual inflation rate has been estimated at nearly 300%.
>In addition, although Argentina’s Congress approved legislation to regulate the budgets of national universities with adjustments that account for inflation for current expenses, as well as salaries, Milei vetoed the measure on the evening of the 2 October demonstrations. On 9 October, Congress upheld Milei’s veto.

I hate this fucking piece of shit. I hate the fact that this cucking big wrinkly disgusting mess I literally me, nothing else, my body is simply a vessel for this disgusting fucking smushed intestine looking ass bitch. I despise the fact that if this fucking stupid cunt gets slightly damaged in anyway I AS IN ME. Will sieze to be and be either someone new and even more retarded, or if it gets smashed I will just be gone forever, that my fucking existence is tied to this annoying heavy fucking piece of shit that has done nothing but drown me in emotional turmoil awareness and dread

There are no animals in the natural world which need to wipe their ass after they shit, the only animals that do that are humans (and sometimes their pets if the pets are fed goyslop). Wild animals have evolved to be able to shit without wiping when they're consuming their natural diet. When humans eat a carnivorous or nearly carnivorous diet then they don't need to wipe their asses after they shit.
This is scientific proof that humans are naturally carnivorous

Hello
Completely new to microscoping, but I was interested and bought a nice one.
I started looking at a bunch of stuff, all very interesting, but then I remebered I found a rock, that I thought was a meteorite a while ago. When I turned on the green fluorescence very specific areas started to reflect light. I took some pictures with the camera, but it dont do it justice and the contrast is very clear irl. Does anybody have an idea of what it could be?
Also I am very interested in anything microscope related, as I am a complete noob.

Is the onset of menarche supposed to be 12?

Two kinds of people study cosmology.
1) those who are perfectly aware that it’s one huge taxpayer fraud
2) grad students who aren’t yet aware of it and do all the job for free
Don’t be a faggot. Don’t get scammed. Pick a normal field for your research. Your PhD thesis on cosmology/inflation/black-hole-evap
