I typically am really bored of science, I think it totally useless for my life. For instance I don’t care what the density of mercury is, or how many moons Jupiter has, none of those things affect my daily life. By course, I mean like Chemistry, Biology or Microbiology, Physics, Earth Science, etc. I have almost graduated from my sophomore year of college I just need a science class.

well first off, college science courses aren’t about memorizing dumb facts like the # of moons jupiter has..thats more hs stuff.. so dont worry about that..
I’d say definitely Bio. it has the most ‘useful’ information if youre not going into a Science field or have no interest in science whatsoever…….i found Astronomy to be really interesting though

If I falsify something, haven’t I simply verified its converse? Isn’t this a sort of proof by contradiction that Science cannot verify, or falsify anything?

It seems to me that there is a strange asymmetry in logic that is assumed in science.
Please don’t confuse me with some Luddite and proclaim the virtues of science through technological achievement. If you do so, you are completely missing the point of my question.

Verification is for math and logic, not science. To pull a common statement from logic, "All men are mortal." To falsify this, you would "just" have to find a man who is immortal. To verify this, you would have to kill off everyone in the world to prove that everyone can die. Not very feasible, especially as you would have to include yourself.

I am planning on transferring next year to Cal Poly Pomona to get a bachelors in animal health science to become a vet tech. Am I on the right track to getting it in animal health Science rather than animal science?

ANIMAL SCIENCE:
Animal science is described as "studying the biology of animals that are under the control of mankind.At the University of Reading, for example, the study of animal science is concerned with the scientific understanding of how animals work: from the physiology and biochemistry of tissues and major organ systems down to the structure and function of bio molecules and cells; particular emphasis is given to the study of growth, reproduction, nutrition and lactation of farm and companion animals and how these processes may be optimized to improve animal productivity, health and welfare. Courses in support areas, such as genetics, soils, agricultural economics and marketing, legal aspects and the environment also are offered. Degrees in Animal Science are offered at a number of Universities.
ANIMAL HEALTH SCIENCE:
IT is the branch of science that deals with the application of medical, surgical, public health, dental, diagnostic, and therapeutic principles to non-human animals, including wildlife and domesticated animals, including livestock, working animals, and companion animals. Practitioners of veterinary medicine are known as veterinarians. In most developed countries, veterinarians are highly qualified professionals with advanced educations.

This is how it goes in my school:
6th grade- Science in general
7th grade- Life Science
8th grade- Earth Science
9th grade- Physical Science
10th grade- Biology
11th grade- Chemistry
12th grade- None

Also, 9th grade takes Health.
I don’t know if that counts as a Science class.

6th-Earth Science
7th-Life Science
8th-Physical Science
9th-Chemistry
10th-Biology
11&12 are varying

I’m a soon-to-be US college graduate, and I’ve been thinking about the fact that many of the high-demand jobs out there (medicine, nursing, engineering) are very science-based.

However, I am getting out with a liberal arts degree, and even as a child I’d found science subjects to be immensely difficult. There was too much memorization, it seemed so arcane and boring, and required intense study for long long periods of time.

How can we make Science easier for young people today?

Bill Nye the Science guy!!

I’m starting the planning for a book that’s targeted at kids in 5th-6th grade, and could be used as a classroom science supplement/science guide.
So any parents out there who help their kids with science Homework, or actual kids what subjects should I try to focus on?

This website has lots of topics and learning resources for science. It is UK based, but I think it will be a good starting place if you are if the USA too.

Hi, I am currently computer Science major in college. I am looking for a job that does not require a computer science degree but in the field of IT. I would like to gain experience before I graduate. I’ve been looking for a job in IT field but most of the jobs requires computer science or Information technology degree. What would be good job for me? What certificate might be easy to get to get these jobs?

Why don’t you do a summer internship (or even take a semester off for an internship)? I’m currently employing an intern who has about a year and a half of comp sci. He worked last semester and is working this summer. He’ll go back to school in the Fall with a lot of experience that will help him get through his classes a lot easier.

I have three choices: physics, environmental science, and aquatic science. Im a junior at this moment. I heard that physics is alot of math and Im descent at math but im already going to take Precal and that already seems to much for me. The other two classes are supposed to be easy. Wat do you guys suggest? Thanks for answers.

Woo Hoo! for Environmental Science!!!! Great jobs being funded everywhere for that major! Aquatic science could be cool, too.
