I am in the process of switching majors right now I think. I am currently a physics major and as much as I love physics it is to much for me. Instead I hope to change to environmental sciences. A couple years ago this would have actually been my first choice but I got so scared to go for it with the ranger layoffs and constant denial of climate change. There was also a fear mongering of sorts that I did fall for (people were saying that the major is horrible for your mental health to detrimental amounts) and job security. But I may have a more privileged take but I think I rather be in debt because I pursued my longest passion then continue on this taxing degree that I do love and will pay off but will cause such levels of stress, anxiety and feelings of inadequacy. I hope that my transfer of majors is successful and that but the fall semester I will finally feel like I made the right choice.

Researchers unveil method to detect 'forever chemicals' in under 3 minutes

PFAS have earned the name "forever chemicals" with good reason—the man-made compounds, which can take thousands of years to degrade and are found in everything from grease-resistant food packaging to water-repellent clothing, have made their way into nearly half the U.S. tap water supply. Now, in a study featured in the Journal of Hazardous Materials, New Jersey Institute of Technology chemists have demonstrated a new lab-based method to detect traces of PFAS from food packaging material, water and soil samples in just three minutes or less.

studying for environmental sciences is going well :3

[id: a blackout poem made from an article on the nitrogen cycle. it reads “Nitrogen Cycle. many forms, consecutively, organism to atmosphere. fix, decay, pure. Nitrogen gas is organic, living, and rough. abundance is symbiotic. terrible or sublime.” the rest of the article is covered up with dark green and doodles of flowers, hearts, and stars. end id]

Hey I just saw you're most recent post and if you don't mind explaining a little more, could you explain? I know Grace was a scientist. I just don't know a lot about environment science stuff. Like what do you do? I am so interested to know. Is it similar to Grace?

HEY oh my gosh I’m excited to explain! So Grace was a botanist. Specialising in plants or “flora”. The environmental sciences sector covers a large range of subjects. Ranging from microbiology (can also be a biomedical topic) to ecology. Honestly the subject is so vast I couldn’t possibly explain everything I will definitely encourage you to look into it more if the urge strikes you!

So Grace was a research scientist, these people work in the filed and often are the frontline of new discoveries. For a scientist of any kind to be able to go to a new planet and discover new flora and fauna (plants and animals) is a dream come true. Grace probably had very little interaction with earths wildlife if it even existed when she was there.

Now for me? I am currently studying a Zoology degree. My subjects are vast and my knowledge won’t become more narrow for a few years. You don’t get to really specialise until masters or even PHD. I am studying with the goal of working to push the reintroduction of predatory keystone species into their native environments in hopes this can kickstart a recovery in the surrounding ecosystem and biome. At least that’s how I explain my job aspirations to my lectures, if anyone has heard of the wolves being put back in Yellowstone? Yeah I want to recreate that all over the world. Grace was on some level a conservationist. At least from my interpretation of her character.

She pushes to protect life she wants to understand it to its fullest and this is something I relate to.

Yesterday's peaceful weekend at my mother's little garden Vs today's environmental law documents

Anyone on here work in environmental sciences, marine biology, or similar fields? I'm looking to go into that area of education, but I'd like to talk to someone who has experience in the field.
