Which school would be a good fit for me??
I have always wanted to major in neuroscience because I love learning about the brain. However, as I learned more about the area of study, I found out that I was interested in a lot of things surrounding mental illness: medicine, pharmacology, public health, and law (forensics). What are some schools that will allow me to learn more about all these subjects? I am aiming for the top schools. I would really appreciate your help!

Is ThinkNeuro a legit research internship opportunity eventhough their asking to pay $40?
I got accepted to the neuroscience research section and felt like it was a red flag because they are now asking for a $40 fee after never addressing it in their promotion. Is there any better place to actually do scientific research that would be valuable to ivy leagues.

What are the most critical skills/knowledge in psychology (in general) and clinical psychology (psychotherapist)?
I just want to ask anyone who graduated with a psychology major or is working in the psychology field (any area of psychology; it does not need to be a psychologist or psychotherapist) what skills/knowledge you think are the most essential in this field. In terms of skills, can you suggest any ways to practice that skill or any software, programs, etc?

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.

San JoseAs a 17 year old kid what should I do as a person also aspiring to study neuroscience to become a neurosurgeon?
I already study it in my free time, do a lot of research about it, and have many medical books, etc. However, having genuine knowledge from an experienced doctor could help me. Even if they aren't in the same medical field as I am, or striving to go into the same field as I am. If there's anyone who is capable of helping me I'd be open to communicating and listening.
San JoseWhat made you guys choose the career you chose? What motivated you to continue to strive towards that goal and why do you still do it to this day?
I'm currently 17 and I will be heading into the neuromuscular system field(Neuroscience) to pursue my life long dream job of being a neurosurgeon so I can save lives.

Exploring Career Options in Neuroscience?
Hi everyone, I’m a college student planning to go to med school and exploring career options. I’ve considered becoming a neurosurgeon, but I’m unsure if it’s the right fit since I’m not too comfortable with blood and surgeries. Are there any high-paying medical jobs in the neuroscience field that require med school but aren’t as surgery-focused? I might consider surgery later, but I’m exploring other paths for now. Thanks for any advice!

I'm a rising senior in high school and I am so passionate about neuro-oncology. I feel like there's so much to learn and really throw myself into and I'm excited to learn all I can.

Winter GardenIs there such thing as a neuro-oncology lab scientist instead of an actual doctor or surgeon How many years of school do I have to go through for this job?
I'm a rising senior in high school and I don't see myself physically working with patients but rather in a laboratory setting trying to develop treatments for brain cancer instead. Do these types of jobs exist and what is the education required to do so? I am also interested if this sort of career can provide me flexibility and allow me time to spend with my family and enjoy life.

What advice would you give to a high school student wanting to change career paths?
I am a rising 11th grader, who originally wanted to pursue aerospace engineering since elementary school. Due to this, I have taken high school courses that aligned with the STEM path, such as engineering design and physics. However, as I researched more I found out that there aren't many opportunities (non-US Citizen in Texas) for me. Recently, neuroscience has sparked an interest in me and I looked more into becoming a neurologist. I haven't taken chemistry or classes that relate to this field such as anatomy. I am currently in a dilemma choosing between aerospace and neuroscience, and do not know how to address this as I am approaching my last two years of high school.

Are M.D./Ph.D. (neuroscience specifically) programs worth it ?
I'm currently a high school senior. I already committed to a college and I'll be majoring in neurobiology but I wanted to get some advice from others to see if an M.D./Ph.D. program after undergrad is the way to go (or if just getting an M.D. is better) so that I can start preparing for it. I know I want to become a neurosurgeon and that I definitely do want to do research before residency.
American CanyonWhat programs intersect with ecology, marine biology, neuroscience, and public health?
Hi! I'm researching graduate programs and am looking to focus on ecology, neuroscience, and public health. I would love, for example, to study the brain of a specific animal and translate the findings into implications for public health and climate change. My bachelor's is in public health and I'm very interested in merging ecological sciences in the near future. If anyone has any leads as to where this intersection may lie, I would love to hear about it!
