Not med related, but I really like how my German Study Guide looks 😍🇩🇪

Hellow Science World

Hi there! Izzy (or you can also call me Iz) and Ricky here!

We want to introduce ourselves as two bestfriends whom started this blog just for the fun of it. And also to share our own experiences (as a MedStudent - or as I like to call me: a Doctor in training- and a BiologyStudent - more specific a Genomic Biotechnologist student -), to share study tips or pretty much anything helpful/useful, as well as fun memes and stories about science and cultural stuff.

So yeah, even if we make this just to have a good time, feel free to ask us any questions (hopefully we can help you out) 😉

Hola Mundo de la Ciencia

¡Hola a todos! Aqui Izzy (también pueden llamarme Iz) y Ricky 😊

Solamente somos un par de mejores amigos que crearon este blog por diversión; aunque también nos gustaria compartir nuestras experiencias (como una estudiante de medicina - o como me gusta llamarme una doctora en entrenamiento - y un estudiante de Biología - más específico un estudiante en biotecnología genomica-), al igual que tips de estudio o cualquier cosa que podria resultar de utilidad, y no se desesperen también habra memes y datos curiosos.

Y bueno, aunque hagamos esto para pasar un buen rato, siéntanse con la libertad de preguntarnos cualquier cosa (solo esperamos poder ayudarlos) 😉

Tip #1 Use COLORS

I'm a very visual person, so for me its completely necessary to draw down in my notes and use colors.

For example, when I was making notes for my microbiology exam, - aside from my notes- I made an index with all the bacteria, viruses,fungi, etc and color coded it. All the gram positive bacteria were wrote down in blue (obviously) as well with a tiny drawing of them, the gram negative bacteria were wrotw down in red, the viruses in orange, fungi in green and so on.

For me it was easier to memorize them if they were sorted first by color, then by shape/special characteristics; because in the exam it was easier to remember the color and then the name of the bacteria/virus/fungi/etc.

This also worked (for me) with anatomy and embryology, I would use blue for ectoderm and make a list of what would develop from there in blue, and copy the same process with endodedrm and mesoderm.

But well maybe thats how my brain works.

Ear transplant

In 2010, Sherrie Walter lost her ear to cancer. Doctors at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore offered her a chance at a new permanent ear built from her own tissue as opposed to a prosthetic ear. Cartilage was removed from her rib cage to form the ear and it was then placed under the skin of her forearm to grow.

Beating heart

A real heart beating is for sure something interesting to see. Normal heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute. Tachycardia is considered a heart rate of greater than 100 beats per minute, while Bradycardia is considered when the rate is below 60 beats per minute.

ALERT, Knee replacement surgery!!! 🔩

Knee replacement is a surgery used for people with severe knee damage. Surgeons recommend this type of surgical procedure if the patient's medication and treatment are not helping at all. When a total knee replacement is done, the surgeon removes damaged cartilage and bone from the surface of the knee joint and replaces them with a surface of metal and plastic. In a partial knee replacement, the surgeon only replaces one part of the knee joint.
