It's a fairly common notion that accounting, when taught by a monotonic proffessor with a non-native English speaking background can be more powerful and mind numbing then horse tranquilizer. However in the interest of progressing beyond a junior analyst, going back to do a masters of...
Do you think with Usyd going independent from the consortium, meaning pretty much everyone within reason might as well apply to Usyd for med, that the GAMSAT cut-off for an interview is likely to jump from ~63 which was the 2011 entry cut-off? (and is annoyingly what I attained this year for my...
There's a resonable chance I'll be moving states to study post-grad med, unfortunately I don't come from a well-off family and thus will be fairly reliant on the $500 a fortnight from centre-link + the $10'000 I currently have in the bank to get me through. Thus one of my main determenants in...
NOTE: I don't agree / disagree with this letter, nor am I posting this as some kind of detterent for people from doing medicine.
A letter from a doc to a girl who recently got rejected (posted it as a note on her facebook)
"Sorry to hear things didn't go as well as you would have liked...
I've had a number of PM's about the post I made regarding career options for science grads, which now seems to be unaccessible since BOS got hacked. Thus I thought I'd make a new thread, updated to now include some new directions I've become aware of as I've moved in recent months from uni into...
Can anyone comment on this?
Basically the Usyd course requires 3 subjects per semester over 2 years (total of 12 courses), plus clinical placement over the summer period. Whereas most other uni's such as Newcastle University are a trimester of 4 subjects each semester for 2 years (total of...
Although I'm about to finish honours in pharmacology, I'm highly considering going back to undergrad and completing at least 2nd and 3rd year organic chem + the new medicinal chem course. This is due to the realization that I find drug design and optimization a lot more interesting then drug...
I believe that many people like myself probably chose science at university as they had a passion for it, or were successful in science subjects during high-school. To this day I still find science extremely interesting, exciting and a fulfilling area to expand my knowledge in. However I'd be...
Top of my list:
- Guys that load up a heap of weight on the bar, but then only do 1/4 depth squats
- Guys that pose in front of the mirror in between sets
- People that shadow box in-between sets
- Girls that use the 1kg dumb bells to do sets of 50 bicep curls, because if they use any heavier...
This is a new series just aired on the network 'starz', it is absolutely awesome! The storyline starts off a bit weak but develops in to some great twists towards the end.

It'd be nice to actually have a discussion related to medicine and the medical sciences on this forum, rather than the masses of kids who feel the need to post the same 'ZomG!! OMG HOW DO I WIN AT THE UMAT?!?' or 'NEED MoRe ppl to SAVe mONEY on UMAT preParation! plz PM me'
I've uploaded this largely at the request from a couple of BOSers who keep pming me about it. I was going to spend the time to make a 'read me first' / 'index', however I just haven't had the time.
I know for a fact there are a bunch of typos in many of the notes that I only came across whilst...

Sirtris Pharmaceuticals announces that its souped-up version of resveratrol has passed early tests in humans.
What if I told you there was a pill that slows aging and allows you to live a healthy life to age 100?
Such a pill may exist right now. It's being tested in people in very...
~70kg + very good at a martial art of your choice (Kickboxing, krav maga, Jiu-jitsu). Or 100kg of ripped muscle + everyone comments on how good / buff you look??
Medicinal Chemistry seems to be a new degree offered in 2010, it provides a combination of synthetic chemistry courses with pharmacology and medical science courses to make graduates thoroughly prepared for work in the pharmaceutical industry. I really wish it had been on offer when I started...
I really wish I had a before and after photo I could put up (as I'd be interested personally), however all I can provide right now are the changes in my lifts. These are all my 5 rep maxes as I'm currently on Star's 5x5:
