Started to write my essay and the first line of the serious scientific paper was about mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell.

Have the scientists become self aware? Do they know the meme? 

I made a discord server dedicated to talking about Science Fiction media and/or Science if anyone wants to join! 

It is essentially mad scientist chaos the server🧪🥽

What an amazing woman, and a personal heroine for me. She's part of what made me fall in love with radiation and want to study it. 💗

"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less".

"Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained".

"I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries".

"If I had not been taught chemical analysis by prof. Milicer and dr. Kossakowski in Warsaw, I would not have isolated radium".

"I am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale".

"Humanity also needs dreamers, for whom the disinterested development of an enterprise is so captivating that it becomes impossible for them to devote their care to their own material profit".

"You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful".

"I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy".

59/100 days of productivity: I am not doing interesting things recently. I try to prepare my entrance examination (I don't know how to explain : the exam for engineering school admittance) This is my French revision because it is a bit aesthetic next to what I do recently. Through I am feeling really nervous, there are so much thing to know (and only a little I actually know). It's exactly in a week and I can't sleep well : I spend my days working and I suppose that's not even sufficient. I have an oral exam for a school in May : I'm happy about it, I mean my report (I don't know if it is the right words) might interest them if they want to see me, though I also don't know at all what they will ask : it's 3hours long ! I already can't wait the end of it. Also we go in holiday with my class after the exam which will be really cool I guess.

That is actually 2 years of flashcards. It look enormous. I'm so proud of it, it help me revise quickly ! Also I made notes for technical drawings, I don't have flashcards anymore but a piece of paper do the job. Also it's ??/100 days of productivity but miss the count.

35/100 days of productivity: Working outside feel good ! I've planned my revision weeks. I already feel stressed, there is so much things to revise/learn in such a short period !

28/100 days of productivity: I didn't have a lot of homework today. I studied maths outside with the news pens I bought yesterday.

25/100 days of productivity: Revising 2 years of computer science right now. There were things I've already forgotten.

22/100 days of productivity: Today was so stressful: I had 2 kholles. A kholle is a specific oral exam in french school system particularly in preparatory class. A kind of equivalent seems to be tutorial. I'm not totally sure about it though. Anyway, I was so exhausted after it that I came for a walk and come back an hour later for my last class of the day where I was not productive at all. Back home, I had an assignment which involved watching videos about fluid studies. That was funny. PS: I am totally left handed. I mean, I can't use my right hand like other left handed do. I always use my left hand to use a mouse which seems to be usual for a lot of people.

23/100 days of productivity: I have so much to do this week. I will try to do as much as I can, but honestly I must make choice on what is optional.

21/100 days of productivity: Time run so fast, I'm totally nervous about school. I spend my whole Sunday working on various assignments. Tomorrow is the deadline to register engineer' school​. I am so nervous even if I finished yesterday.

18/100 days of productivity: Fiches d'informatique parce que "spoiler y a de l'informatique aux concours" et maths.

and the orange one looks back too! They're all so freakin cute

to all my researchers, students and people in general who love learning: if you don't know this already, i'm about to give you a game changer

connectedpapers

the basic rundown is: you use the search bar to enter a topic, scientific paper name or DOI. the website then offers you a list of papers on the topic, and you choose the one you're looking for/most relevant one. from here, it makes a tree diagram of related papers that are clustered based on topic relatability and colour-coded by time they were produced!

for example: here i search "human B12"

i go ahead and choose the first paper, meaning my graph will be based around it and start from the topics of "b12 levels" and "fraility syndrome"

here is the graph output! you can scroll through all the papers included on the left, and clicking on each one shows you it's position on the chart + will pull up details on the paper on the right hand column (title, authors, citations, abstract/summary and links where the paper can be found)

you get a few free graphs a month before you have to sign up, and i think the free version gives you up to 5 a month. there are paid versions but it really depends how often you need to use this kinda thing.
