What do I choose for my A-level choices?
I am doing my A-levels next year but I have to choose what subjects I want to do before January. I know for definite that I want to do Biology and Psychology (I'm predicted 9s for both) but my issue is I don't know whether to do Maths (predicted a 9) or Chemistry (predicted a 9). I find maths very boring but I'd say I'm quite good at it. If I did maths i'd have to do psychology at another school (not ideal). I'd do an EPQ regardless of whichever one I choose. I like chemistry and am good at it (and in general people seem to enjoy chemistry at my school); maths is a little easier for me, but I'm afraid I'll get bored of it. I know I shouldn't choose based on teachers but one of the teachers in maths is extremely boring and I have had him for the past 2 years, so the idea of having him for 2 more years puts me off it (only a little). I think both are good choices career-wise because the universities I want to go to accept both combinations although I think maths has more options for if I want to choose a different course. I want to do something biology-based, possibly neuroscience or biopsychology. Anyone who does both maths and chemistry, I'd really appreciate some advice on which to choose. I had my heart set on doing biology, psychology, maths and further maths but I realised further maths is basically irrelevant, and I know for sure I will get sick of it, so I changed my mind to doing an EPQ. I am very confused so I might talk to my english teacher because he is completely indifferent and has children who have gone through this (and I don't hate him like a lot of the others), but I wanted to see if I could get any form of help from this.
If I want to study in marine biology or astronomy in collage, what should I do in high school?

Question about graduate school to be a molecular biologist?
Why hello! My name is Wayne, and I am a current freshman biology major at KSU who is applying to transfer to Emory next year for the Fall 2025 term. I want to be a molecular biologist in the future working for a renowned government health/science organization like the CDC or EPA, and I would just like to ask about what good graduate schools I can attend if I want to pursue a master's degree in biology or a related field?

I'm 13 and want a job in Marine Biology when I'm older. Where can I start to reach that goal when I'm old enough to get a job?
Im currently a 13 year old student at high school, I want to become a marine biologist when I'm older but I live in a small town with not many opportunities, so I don't have any zoos or aquariums near me, but my parents and teachers are getting students to start planning their future, What subjects, jobs and extra curricular activies are need to become one.
How are some good ways to get into conservation internships in Northeast Texas?
Hello, I am an undergrad biology student at TAMUT. I am pursuing a Bachelor's of Environmental Biology degree. My top goal is to try and land a job as a Wildlife or Fisheries Biologist for a state or federal agency. Unfortunately, that requires a degree in conservation for most of those agencies, which then requires me to pursue a graduate degree since a BS Biology will not cut it for most agencies. These positions also requires job and internship experience. For about a year, I have been searching for internships from the agencies in the Texarkana region, but the very few internships or entry level jobs I find are always several hours away. I am a volunteer for Texas Parks and Wildlife, but that will not help me land a career later down the line I am told. Does anybody have advice or resources?
How can I find connections, resources, and experiences to become a biopharmaceutical scientist in research and development?
I have been working to find a career that I truly enjoy and recently I have been increasingly interested in pursuing a career as a biopharmaceutical research and development scientist (with an interdisciplinary background in nanotechnology), but I understand that I will need to gain experience in this field to really comprehend what I will be working with. So I need help finding connections within academic institutions and professionals in this field that will help me experience my potential future career. Any type of help is appreciated! I wish to connect with professionals and learn as much as I can, working hard to gain the experience I need for this career. (Is it possible as a teenager?)
How can i figure out what i want to do in the forensic field?
I'm a 14 year old high school freshman and recently was assigned a project asking where i see myself in 10 years and it got me thinking. I've had a feeling of wanting to do something involving forensics, like forensic psychology, biology, pathology, etc. so i was thinking maybe CSI? I'm really interested in the investigation of crime scenes and human remains but I've also considered mortuary science. How do i know what i want to do, and what are some things i should start planning/setting in motion now if i want to get a degree? Sorry if my question is vague
Does this path in biopharmaceutical science sound feasible?
I think I want to be a biopharmaceutical research scientist with an interdisciplinary nanotechnology background. Is this choice specific or do I have to go more in-depth? Is this even a good career choice? Please let me know.

I wanted to do a research paper on how water quality affects the human body and causes specific things to happen. However I’m only a tenth grader in high school and was confused on how to get started with it I was also wondering if I could publish this research paper so the work doesn’t go to waste? I know this kind of research was already done but I just wanted to see it for myself in my specific area.?
I was going to start with sampling water in different buildings around where I live but I can’t figure out how to do it beyond that.
Is it okay to not take a science junior year
I am currently a sophomore in high school and I want to go into pre med. I have all my science credits from taking bio chem and biomedical science and I do not have room for another junior year. Is it ok to not take science junior year but take physics senior year. In addition I want to do the certified nursing class at my school but is it worth it if I wanna become a doctor and major in biology Because the class takes up 2 blocks so If I don't do it I could take more science classes. ?
How do I prepare for a graduate school interview in the Biology department?

I am a first-generation student and not personally acquainted with any people who are pursuing a graduate degree in STEM field, so I’m not sure what to expect in an entrance interview. What is the best way to prepare for it and represent myself in the best light?
what can I do to advance my knowledge in biology and chemistry so I can be prepared for AP Biology and chemistry and even now in my general chemistry class?
Hello! My names Layla and I'm in 10th grade taking general classes this year. In the future, I hope to work in the medical field! I want to get a head start and up my chances of getting into an excellent school. So with that, next year and the year after I want to take AP chemistry and AP biology. Last year and currently I'm struggling with understanding the fundamentals of biology and chemistry. I really, really, want to take AP chemistry and AP biology, but my skills are lower than average- so I'm wondering what can I do to advance my knowledge in biology and chemistry so I can be prepared for AP Biology and chemistry and even now in my general chemistry class? Thank you! -Currently in 10th grade taking general chemistry -Interested in sciences -Interested in taking Advanced Placement courses
How do I become a denist?
The school I want to go too, ( Northern Arizona University) has a 2 year dental program. I have asked this question before and the most common answer was to major in biology and then do medical school after. Do I just do the dental program while attending the college, or do I major in biology and then do dental school after? #Fall24
