How many of you are into science?

Post Reply New Topic

I think you could say science is my "special interest". It's always been that way (though I've been briefly interested in other things as well). I remember how I, when I was a very small child, wanted to become an archeologist (I guess archeology could be considered both a science and a humanity). A few year later I wished for things like a microscope for Christmas (and got one) when most girls my age wished for barbies and typical girly things (not saying all girls are like that). Anyway, when I read about for example astronomy or chemistry I get all excited and sometimes I just feel like jumping up and down (or bouncing up and down if I sit in my chair) because I just can't imagine anything more interesting than science. There's nothing else I want to do with my life than studying biomedicine or chemistry and then work in a lab somewhere researching things (while being a hobby astronomer).

I guess I just want to know if there's someone else here who has the same sort of interest in science as I do (hence the poll). Also, would be nice to hear what kind of science you like and why you like it. Tell some interesting fact about it or something. And if you don't like science, how come?

I love science but I have interests focused on more specific subjects. For me it's always been biology and the science of crime; neurology, cardiology, endocrinology, psychology, criminology, sociology (though not as much lately), etc.

Me three, I love since too.

Favs are astronomy, chemistry and physics although I admit I don't know much about these subjects I still love to learn about them.

I like science as well. More specifically I'm into Physics.

It's very interesting. But the lessons at school are so boring.

*faceplants into the room* Did somebody say... SCIENCE?



BLESS THIS THREAD.

(Whoops, double post. But seriously, I love science very much. Especially biology. BIOLOGY, I SAY!)

I find it an interesting topic, because of its diversity and broad spectrum of ideas, as well as its changing all the time the further we understand it.

My favourite areas of science are astronomy, chemistry and biomedicine.



Cool! So, what do you think is the most interesting about biology? I find for example microbiology and the human physiology (especially the brain) very interesting.

It depends on what type of science. I like biology and Earth sciences best, most especially botany.

What do you love about astronomy and chemistry RebbieH?

I like Biology a lot.

I do I do! But just saying "science" is so broad! I have the most knowledge of chemistry, microbiology, and thermodynamics, but I've always had a soft spot for theoretical/astrophysics and quantum mechanics, even if I don't always fully understand them.

Everybody should be passionate about science.. the future relies on it.

Cool! Since high school I've struggled a bit with physics (except for when it comes to astronomy) but things in physics that I do find interesting are magnetism, light, particle physics and astrophysics (which is guess is a branch of astronomy). And astronomy of course. I'm really bad at mechanics though. Right now (in my physics lectures) we're talking about things like momentum, periodic motion and motion in two dimensions. Might be basic stuff but I find it difficult. I'm much better at chemistry. What in chemistry do you like?



Difficult question. It's hard to explain. When it comes to astronomy I just find it incredibly fascinating. I'm curious about how the universe works. The universe is so complex, so beautiful and so vast. There's always going to be new things to discover and new things to learn about. Something I like reading about is how different elements are created in stars. I think that's cool. I also like learning the names and facts about planets and moons, I like learning the constellations and just look at the night sky through my binoculars (I'll buy a telescope eventually) etc.

There are a lot of things I like about chemistry as well. Chemistry is life. I mean, chemical reactions happen all the time. Around us, in our bodies, everywhere. Understanding chemistry is understanding life (at least part of it). I like learning/memorising the periodic table, I quite like organic chemistry (though I like inorganic chemistry as well) and I find biochemistry pretty fascinating. I'm interested in how chemistry and medicine "go together". Not only do I like to read about chemistry but I like being in the lab and see for myself how elements react with each other.

I could go on and on about both astronomy and chemistry but I think this might be enough for now.

Sure.

Both of my interests are science related (ballistics and...ballistics in space ).
