• A weird sense of pride

  Today I completed my first certification: a Coursera course by one of its cofounders, Andrew Ng entitled “AI is for everyone.” Is it? Learning more and more about the biases in data makes me worry for the future, but I want to be part of the solution.

  This semester, I took on Computational Neuroscience with lab. It’s been a difficult class (I always say that) by it’s been amazing to learn how to use MATLab in neural coding sequences in my Last semester of college. Here’s some of my notes on the basics of neural coding within MATLab!

• The Most Painful Textbooks I’ve Spent Money on

  Every semester, I peel out something around $300 for textbooks. Of course I scour the internet for free PDFs, courses without expensive tags, but sometimes that’s not enough. The horror of college spending is that like food and rent, if you want a strong foundation, you need the textbooks. These were the most disrespectful books…

• Fun in College if you don’t Party Like that

• Organic Chemistry I: Drawing Squiggles and Dots in Space

  

  I’ve finally arrived at every premed’s bane: organic chemistry. As the single most important course to be taken for the purposes of MCAT and the basis of most of medicine, I am understandably shaking in my boots.

• Intro to Neuropsychological Research: Single and Double Dissociations

  

  I hate it when my titles feel longer than the blog post itself. It’s much simpler than it sounds: these are experiments that combines several experiments that act as ‘Block and Determine’ situations that establish a connection between two parts of the brain and its function. I’ll make it even easier for you! I’ll list…

• Mid-Semester Slump and Trying to Jump Over It

  It’s that time of year again. I can’t get up at 6am anymore. I have to drag myself to the gym. I’m eating late, and drinking less water. And my grades are showing this slump. Most definitely, the new job I got (and quit) in the span of 5 weeks had something to do with it, but…

• How Studying is Different for Different Classes

  I think the different methods of studying was what I found the most difficult to adjust to  when I first started college. In high school, in addition to being supervised for longer periods of time and having less dense material, memorizing and reciting the material (chew and pour) was enough to get an A. Here’s…
