I guess I’m a prime example of this article. I originally majored in biology (racked up enough credits so that if I wanted to I could have a biology degree within 1 semester), then switched to chemistry and eventually graduated with a chemistry degree and a minor in computer science. My passion for biology came when I attended Human Anatomy & Physiology. I learned about neurons and action potentials, chemical gradients and how diffusion can cascade these changes. These machinery like interactions made the cells come to “life.” I then switched my major to chemistry to understand these interactions. My favorite class was Physical Chemistry. Both of these fields are saturated by two types: the pre-med schooler and the academic, these two types are fighting for prestige and status. I believe the schools mostly cater to these types so they can get into their relevant higher ed (masters, PhD, and medicine) schools. This ends up robbing the undergrads who are actually interested of the material (you end up with what’s described in the article). In contrast computer science was a breath of fresh air :) I wish bio and Chem fields were like that.
