Hello, I’d like to get started in research. I might be a bit old for it, but I’d really like to learn. If anyone is already doing this or could offer a little help or advice, I would truly appreciate it.
I want to get into human medicine research, since that’s my field. Does anyone know how I could get started? Even though I’m already in my seventh year of medical school and hadn't really thought about it before, I’d like to start doing research because I think it’s a great thing. Do you know if I can take courses or how I might go about this? Also, how can I find guidance on becoming a good researcher, or how do I begin? I’d love to hear from people who have already started in this field—how did you do it?

Anyone doing scholarly research?
Anyone doing scholarly research?
Hello. I'm really interested in doing a research study in the healthcare or social field but I don't have an idea of how people do and publish these studies. Is anyone doing something and would like to bring me on board.
Context: I have a BSc in Community Health and Development.
Interests: Social sciences, Public Health, Reproductive health and sexuality, etc.
What study: Any
Experience: Apart from my BSC, I have done some work in report writing and data analysis, but have no field experience except my attachments(been trying to get internships to no avail.
Reason: Passion project; It's just something I've wanted to do, and I would like to be a published researcher/scholar...also for experience
Budget: can partner from anywhere on Qualitative research but field research maybe around Nairobi or close by, unless it's something we can get funding (I'm a freelancer so I don't have much to spare)
Please send me a dm. Thank you.

Experimental Chemistry Youtubers who are women?
Are there any women on Youtube who run channels independently showing practical chemistry experiments being done (e.g. NileRed). I hvae yet to find any such channels. In contrast, there are many men doing this on Youtube.
NileRed
Nurdrage
Doug's Lab
Cody's Lab
Apoptosis (https://www.youtube.com/@integral_chemistry)
Chemiolis
Amateur Chemistry
vibzz lab
Cranial Construction, Chemplayer, Scrap Science, Prussian Blue, Thoisoi2, NightHawkinLight, and many more. but these are all men.
There are some women who appear on the ACS Reactions channel, but that is not focused on synthesis/experiments as much and is not independent.

Engineerdle
engineerdle.vercel.appKia ora everyone, I'm a 24F engineer from New Zealand.
I've been working on this daily engineering puzzle, I'm calling Engineerdle. It's my first time making something like this. I made it because someone showed me Doctordle (a daily diagnosis practice quiz for doctors haha) and thought surely something like this exists for engineers but I couldn't find anything.
Engineerdle is now searchable on Google Search but still hard to find haha so I thought I'd share it with you ladies here. I'd love for more people to try it and if you like it please send it to your friends to try too. If anyone has any suggestions or criticisms on how I could improve it, all feedback is welcome!
Thanks, J <3

Looking for ideas on where to find a good scientific advisor or a founding person who loves lab.
Working on a venture in T2T textile recycling, looking for a creative, intuitive, problem-solving man or women in the capacity of a scientific advisor, or founding member with equity.
I would love a focus on chemical engineering, although my last advisor was from biotech, and you dont have to have a specific history of work in polymers or textiles.
All I care about how good you are with coming up with new ideas, connecting dots, imagining, problem solving, and offcourse loving lab experiments.
age, experience, doesnt matter. the last was not a phd or anything. nor did she have any specific past experience with what we working on, but she was talented, and thats all that really matters.

Advice/Experience Sharing Wanted What should I study if I want to learn more about animal reproduction/genetics and the AI industry?
I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction because I know what I want to learn, but I don’t really know what the field/course of study I’m looking for is called.
I currently work as a lab technician in the animal genetics/bovine reproduction industry. I work with bull semen and am involved in the processing side of things. Since starting this job, I’ve become really interested in understanding more of the science behind what we do, not just how to perform my specific job.
I’d like to learn more about things like animal reproduction, reproductive physiology, genetics, semen/fertility, breeding, and the artificial insemination industry as a whole. I’m already planning to take an AI course, but I’d like to find additional online courses or certifications that would help me build a broader understanding of the industry.
My company is very supportive of internal promotion and employees moving into different positions, so I’d really like to take advantage of that and educate myself as much as possible. I’m just struggling to figure out what I should actually be searching for.
Would this fall under animal science, reproductive physiology, animal genetics, theriogenology, or something else? Are there any online courses, certificates, or programs you would recommend for so meone already working in the industry who wants to grow their knowledge and eventually move up?
I’m not necessarily looking for a full degree right now—more so courses/certifications I can take while continuing to work full time.
Any suggestions on what subjects or keywords I should be looking for would be greatly appreciated!

Pregnancy during phD
I work in a molecular virology lab where i deal with influenza virus.
Our work most deals with, virus infections, cell culture , rna isolation, PCRs , western blot, agarose gel-electrophoresis etc.
What extra precautions am i supposed to be taking.
Also when did you inform your supervisor and how did they take the news considering how paranoid the supervisors are. I am just scared of informing mine.🥲

Victory is Mine! In 1925, graduate student Cecilia Payne discovered that stars are made mostly of hydrogen and helium. Henry Norris Russell persuaded her to downplay the result. Four years later, he confirmed it himself, and his prominence overshadowed her discovery.

Advice/Experience Sharing Wanted Is it going to be alright?
Ladies of Science!
TL,DR: I am currently not holding any position, after leaving an abusing dept. I need an immediate job as I am running out of money fast. However I am mentally stuck with the trauma and unable to apply for any post.
I finished my PhD last year in July. The last peer-reviewed publication I have is in early 2025. I was working as a research assistant till early 2026, after which I decided to not continue my contract with my alma mater.
I was going through a very bad harassment in my dept, where systematically I was isolated, stripped of any opportunities, and was the target of rumours. I tried many times to make things better, but nothing helped as the main issues I was having were with dept head and senior most professors. When the dean took me under his wing, I was still kept officially in my dept and harassment continued with the dean practically saying they can't go against their colleagues.
All of this led to a series of panic attacks, self-destructive behaviours, complete collapse of my life as I knew it before 2025. So I decided to leave that place for good and start afresh. I returned to my home town earlier this year. Since then I am doing regular therapy, which has made things improve but is slow. Meanwhile my physical health has also improved. In this off time I am also trying to work on independent projects, like one science communication program in collaboration with a non profit, is about to go live in two weeks time.
But I feel stuck. For the first time in my life I am not finding the confidence and motivation to apply for postdoc. There's a PI who was interested in taking me but I haven't contacted him yet because I was feeling like I shouldn't when I am not in the right mind. The same is for other positions. When I am finding something suitable to apply, I am getting frozen and not doing anything until the deadline is over.
I had some savings that have been helping me for the last six months. But it is not going to last beyond 2026. I have meds and therapy to pay for. Food and shelter is taken care of by my parents as I am staying with them. But I can't survive here long. I need a job but I am not able to apply for it.
Just tell me it's possible for me to get back to where I research and do it better this time. I just need your support.

Advice for a new pregnancy in a potentially new job?
Hi all! I work in wildlife sciences and just found out I’m pregnant (5 weeks, first). Currently, I am at a part-time temporary position in the wildlife field until I get accepted somewhere full-time (I have been applying for ~8 months with no luck). Recently a friend in the field let me know about a position coming up and thought it fit my interests and skills perfectly. I applied and my application got pushed to the second round.
My question is, if I get an interview, should I inform them of my pregnancy? I don’t want that to hurt my chances of getting the job or the reputation of those referring me. I’m not ready to share it with others yet but the position would be work outdoors in wildlife management, surveys, etc. that I might need to be somewhat cautious about while pregnant. What would you do? Has anyone gone through the same thing? How did it turn out?
Also, for anyone who has children, how did things work out with working after pregnancy? I know it’s possible, but I’m nervous to choose daycare so young. I also want to continue in my career and if I start a new position now, then I definitely don’t want to let them down and not return after birth. Thank you for any advice!

Advice/Experience Sharing Wanted Should I get married before moving to Europe for my PhD?
Hi ladies, I’m 26F from India, currently preparing to apply for PhD positions in chemistry in Europe. My main targets are Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, & Sweden.
I’ve also been in a relationship with my boyfriend for about 4 years, and we are seriously considering getting married. He works in the corporate sector in procurement, so if I move to Europe for my PhD, the plan would ideally be for him to move with me and establish his own career there as well.
Does it make more sense to get married before I start my PhD, or should we wait until after I’m settled into the PhD?
I'm not asking whether I should marry him in general. We've already discussed marriage seriously. I'm trying to understand the practical implications of getting married before an international PhD move.
I wish to hear from women who have done a PhD abroad while married or who moved abroad with their partner before/during their PhD.
A few things I'd really like to know:
- Did your partner move with you? How difficult was it for them to find work?
- Did marriage/spouse residence rights actually make a meaningful difference?
- For those in Europe, which countries have been particularly good/bad for dual-career couples?
- Anything you wish you had discussed with your partner before moving abroad?
I do not wish to do more of long distance relationship, I want us together. Please help.
