Otago HSFY chat - archive

[Hopefully]

We have Chemistry, Physics, (both with very dubious links to the health sciences) Cells and microbiology, and Human body systems (basically human anatomy rote-fest)

You guys have to do cells and MICROBIOLOGY as a paper? God, I feel lucky
Haha, is your Physics dubbed "for the Life Sciences"? Ours is.
HUBS sounds like the equivalent of our MEDSCI 142, which is next semester...Feverish rote-learning/attempting to comprehend but failing miserably type of paper. Yeah, sounds about right

officially its 'biological physics' and 'the chemical basis of biology and human health'

yea, our cells and microbiology paper is really random x.x

Hahaha Nimbus!

I merely split my allegiance in half...or quarters...you get what I mean

Yeah, poplhlth is quite insightful. My others are chem (mostly organic) and 2 bioscis, one of which is around human bio like cellular processes, and cells and tissues, inside the body, human development, experimental embroylogy (this one's a bit of a dark horse - what's it doing there? ), blood and immune, muscles, and neurons at the moment!; the other is just general bio (evolution and biochem this half of semester).

[OFFTOPIC]What a lot of listing... @_@[/OFFTOPIC]

What about you guys?

[OFFTOPIC]LOLOLOL, well jono has already replied to the question, so I wanted to ask, how are you finding it all? Is it fun/interesting? you should migrate here btw, HSFY thread is much more interesting! how about splitting the loyalty 3/4 HSFY to 1/4 OLY, after which us otago hatboxer's will manipulate to the "cool" side haha only kidding, but yes, what I was meaning to say was -> you're here, DO STAY! I'm going to offtopic this, since I'm pretty sure I started on topic... and then tangent-ed a bit :/[/OFFTOPIC]

Nah...generally its the aussie threads.


*ducks*

[OFFTOPIC]should have climbed up a tower as fast you could muse, I threw a kick, so now, unfortunately, you have a bruise forming on your face LOL

btw, WELCOME TO THE HSFY THREAD (even though you're a moderator, and you're welcome by default )[/OFFTOPIC]

I see. The way that they "justify" that it belongs in the HSFY curriculum must be quite outstanding. Though you guys also have the alternative degrees that others want to get into, right? Like dentistry and medical imaging or something or rather?
That must be why...?

 

[miss_universe]

Mmm thanks. I usually stalk the shit out of this thread anyhoo. I feel like I know you guys so well :3

Agreed. Hence the half 'swap over' from yours truly into this one

Yes, the justification is bloody brilliant I tell you, the things they manage to squish in *sighs*. Although, i'm probably in no position to judge the usefulness of the work in HSFY in later years med etc, I'm still quite sure they just used old phsi, and then dumped in a few "biological examples". So it's sort of like "The String Theory explains the fact that the universe is a hyperbolic quantum mechanical plethora of amazing stars, planets and filled with multiple fuel sources"... *6 lectures later* "so this occurs in the human body, by the fact that we are based on carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, but yet we find so many other elements in our body" (okay I know that made like, no sense what so ever, and I exaggerated by megatonne, but still, you get what I'm right? By the way, that wasn't supposed to make sense, I just pushed together the most physics-y words that I could think of, and wrote it up What I meant was - its all physics, and then randomly, this applies to the human body)
in re: to alternative courses, yes we do have alternate courses So it sort of makes sense, some of the extra stuff that gets thrown in, it seems some of it would be quite relevant to the other courses as well!

EDIT: TO ANY FUTURE HEALTH SCI'S I can assure you, we don't do string theory, or anything remotely hard like that, PHSI is one of the easiest papers in health sci Well, different people will say different, but seriously, its not hard. You do easy, understandable stuff, I was just making a point above, like how it is not much different to doing pure plain physics, its like doing year 12/13 physics just they add a few biological examples (I was merely ranting about the fact that they called the paper "biological physics" when its mainly physics with biological examples right at the end haha. But rest assured, its quite easy

Mmm thanks. I usually stalk the shit out of this thread anyhoo. I feel like I know you guys so well :3

[OFFTOPIC]I like this Only proves that we're the semi-cool kids we love you too muse! <3[/OFFTOPIC]

Right, got it. How apt of them though

hahaha yeah I was like when tf did we do String Theory? That would've been waaaaaaaaaay more interesting than the stuff we're doing now

 

[Hopefully]

Too true. I wanna know more about this "String Theory", [MENTION=12155]Nimbus2000[/MENTION]!

 

[Nimbus2000]

Nimbus... what did you just write?

I just pushed together the most physics-y words that I could think of, and wrote it up

^I did warn you ... I just made up stuff, you know its true, that's what they do, give us a bunch of extreme physics, and then give us biological examples!

I feel sorry for any future health-scier/Y13 reading this thread, with that post you probably compleeeeeetely freaked them out It's okay guys, we don't do string theory!

Especially all the most random 'facts' that crop up! (You tell them, ruth )

Sorry, but NO one is going to read 164 pages of this shit.

 

[Hopefully]

Sorry, but NO one is going to read 164 pages of this shit.

Aww....but I *kinda* did for the Auckland OLY1 thread...just some fascinating stuff in there. Useful too

(Albeit with a lot of skipping parts, but still )

 

[Ruth]

Sorry, but NO one is going to read 164 pages of this shit.

Harsh, but true.

 

[Hopefully]

Harsh, but true.

Well, then. It can be an outlet for us. Anyway we want it to be

 

[Nimbus2000]

I would think that too, but muse, some health-sci's are crazy/bored enough to do this... I ended up reading most of the 500 odd pages (well fine, it was more like 1, 2 skip a few, 99, 100) of the HSFY archives chat and I know someone else on mso who also has

Ah, nimbus! Yay, another person!
(Gosh, the other person must be someone we know ;P)
