As a scientist I thought I’d create some discussion topics?

What is your favourite science?

I haven’t included social sciences like psychology or sociology, as they are exactly that social sciences (not physical science).

- Biology
- Geology (earth science)
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Astronomy (Space science)

Have included geology and astronomy as they are large areas that do not fit within other areas completely

Phone typo with chemistry

I was an immunologist scientist and always found that interesting when studying. I also have work published within parasitology and evolutionary biology, and so I have chosen biology

I'm a #natureboy so Biology, natch.

But physics is interesting, and chemistry is fun.

Mathematics is what my first class BSc is in.

Unfortunately the 3 core sciences at my school lacked decent teachers so I was never able to truly get into any of them

I hated physics it was always the most boring one.. maybe I just had boring teachers idk

Biology was alright but chemistry was always the best in school, getting to mess around with the chemicals and bunsen burners :skull:

I was good enough. But coming from a northern comprehensive where the teachers literally crushed ambition as egotism, I settled for University of Manchester.
Not bitter at all haha. tbh as a big shot in london now i cannot really complain.

Well, either way I boff my cap to you, sah!

Maths is really not my thing. I had to pass an online test in order to get onto my teaching course, and I had to memorise so many shortcuts and "cheats" it's really not fair I breezed it, haha. As I work in a behaviour school most of the maths is at KS2 level - thank god! I'm "only" a TA with cover duties so maths can go hang most of the time :dance:

In school biology was the best for me, had a really enthusiastic great teacher Who got you really involved.

Physics I just found mind numbingly boring and difficult and the chemistry teacher was vile so I couldn’t have cared less about those two back in the day!

I enjoyed Chemistry and Biology at school, but my fave is probably Biology.

HATE PHYSICS

Biology at school because the teacher was cool.

Since leaving I would say chemistry

ALL sciences are physics if you boil 'em for long enough.

All scientists are chemicals if you dissolve 'em for long enough.
