AI Thread Summary
A freshman at a UC is transitioning from a major in Evolutionary Biology to Enology, viewing the shift as a natural progression since Enology involves biochemistry and microbiology. The student intends to retain their Chinese major, expressing a passion for the language. They seek insights on how to leverage their dual degrees to positively impact the world, particularly through the production of high-quality wine, which is in demand and can be lucrative. The discussion raises the question of what "a better world" signifies in this context, inviting reflections on the broader implications of their career choices.

Although I am keeping my Chinese major as I absolutely love it, I am wondering how I can use my degrees when I graduate to change the world for the better.

While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Should I submit 860 PGRE?'

Hi everyone! I'm a senior majoring in physics, math, and music, and I'm currently in the process applying for theoretical and computational biophysics (primarily thru physics departments) Ph.D. programs. I have a 4.0 from a basically unknown school in the American South, two REUs (T50 and T25) in computational biophysics and two semesters of research in optics (one purely experimental, one comp/exp) at my home institution (since there aren't any biophysics profs at my school), but no...
