Well... I just submitted applications to graduate schools and I completely bombed the General GRE test when I took it. I get a bit paranoid when I take standardized tests and seem to run out of time a lot. I am depending entirely upon my un

I'm a mechanical engineer in physics and I've had no formal training in writing code or computer science, yet, I am now doing simulations for atomic physics in Python. I am designing some software library package which will serve

But we read material that is significantly more difficult when we are adults, no?

It's never too late to learn book binding ;) I'll probably try and make a book of this some day, but first I'm going to make a copy of R. Hammings' The Art of Science and Engineering.

Do anyone know of research groups involved in this?

Just visited European XFEL a few weeks ago. The linear accelerator was about 2km long and I believe the total cost of the laser is over 1 billion Euro, but nevertheless this is an awesome idea :)

Awesome sauce. I wonder if they plan to make it modular like the folks over at Project Ara from Google ATAP. That would be a total hit with the Maker community.

A lack of mathematical intuition is a serious problem for many people from engineering to biology to economics. It certainly plagued me throughout my engineering bachelors studies and is something I continually work to get better at. In my

This reminds me of a quote that went something like: "Most children are already physicists. Sadly, our education system beats the curiosity out of them" Was that Feynman or someone else?

Nice! I am also learning German. I've just moved to Heidelberg about 10 months ago. It is a difficult language... :/ Did you take classes?

Great question. I'm excited to see the other responses. I'm a visiting scientist at a nuclear physics institute, but my degree was in mechanical engineering. Currently working on creating highly charged isotopes to be used for can

Totally agree. Nothing quite tones up everything like swimming does.
