    Forum seems less active compared to 10 years ago?

    I remember this forum being very lively and active about 5-10 years ago. What has happened since then? Sorry if this posting is inappropriate, I'm not frequently active myself so I've been out of the loop.

    Physics I'm a Medical Physicist. I have nothing to do. I'm going insane!

    Hi, I graduated one year ago and I'm currently a certified medical physicist in Europe. I have since a year ago been working in diagnostic X-ray physics at a smaller hospital. My work can be summed up in the following list, although not covered to a very detailed extent: Personell och patient...

    Programs I'm a medical physicist, how can I get into astronomy/astrophysics?

    I'm very thankful! Physics would also be great to have like this structure.

    Programs I'm a medical physicist, how can I get into astronomy/astrophysics?

    I'm not sure. The courses we took during two first 2 years are in my OP, there's a list. We learned all the basics in the first 2 years I think. High school was quite forgettable, not "real" physics (covered mostly mechanics and some other physics fields, but not in any form of depth).

    Programs I'm a medical physicist, how can I get into astronomy/astrophysics?

    I said I'm a recent Master's graduate. I don't have a PhD. The last 3 years were only medical physics, and honestly, the pure physics part was quite minimal. The first 2 years of my education were spent doing only physics and maths, the rest 3 years were medical physics. It is those 2 first...

    Programs I'm a medical physicist, how can I get into astronomy/astrophysics?

    I'm probably just going to keep it as a hobby or something. Is a master's even enough for getting astronomy related jobs? From what I've heard, no. But I'm not sure how credible this is. If a PhD is really necessary, then it's pointless. Too much time, and no guarantee of getting a PhD...

    Programs I'm a medical physicist, how can I get into astronomy/astrophysics?

    I love learning about detectors, how they work, the different types for different applications and different particles/photons (or different energies), how images are reconstructed, how the images are worked (e.g. sharpening in the Fourier domain) and so on. This is literally my favorite part of...

    Programs I'm a medical physicist, how can I get into astronomy/astrophysics?

    No, I can if I do a 3:rd year in the undergraduate physics program, then can I apply for a Master's. We studied alongside physics students during the first 2 years, but not the 3:rd year, which is the one I would have to take. Here in Sweden, medical physicists study pure physics and...

    Programs I'm a medical physicist, how can I get into astronomy/astrophysics?

    I want to go for a bachelors in physics (takes 1 year), then a master's in astronomy or astrophysics (takes 2 years). So 3 years in total. My hope is to maybe land a job in that field, but it's probably unlikely? a PhD would be necessary? I doubt I'm going above a master's. Education here in...

    Programs I'm a medical physicist, how can I get into astronomy/astrophysics?

    Hi, I'm a recently graduated medical physicist (currently also working as a medical physicist) and I still have a thirst for physics, especially astronomy and astrophysics which are my hobbies. The problem is that we were only taught pure physics and mathematics during the first 2 years of our...

    Studying Overcoming Burnout: Tips for Struggling Physics Students

    Now that you mention it, I have for the past couple of months eaten A LOT of junk food, stopped exercising all together, stopped going outside the home, stopped trying to socialize and probably more. I feel lethargic every day, regardless of sleep quality. Bringing myself to study is painful...

    Studying Overcoming Burnout: Tips for Struggling Physics Students

    I'm currently in my third year of physics and need advice on how to manage my situation. I tend to always crash once or twice a year, unable to gain motivation to study. Currently, I'm probably in one. For the whole duration of my current course, I have not done much at all and the exam is in...

    Studying How does one read a Physics book effectively?

    You're probably right, its a bit difficult to read without purpose. Having a bunch of questions to answer will make one pay more attention to what the author wants one to know I guess.
