What part about being a biochemist is most fulfilling, and why do you say that?
I am a high school senior. I have earned a cumulative 4.0 unweighted GPA and a 4.38 weighted GPA, and have worked very hard in school to achieve straight A's throughout the entirety of my high school career. I am interested in the natural sciences: biology, chemistry, physics, etc.. I would like to learn about different specializations in the aforementioned science fields, when specializing became important in school, and how you were able to pick a specialization (because there are just so many). I need to know how much should be apparent now about college, what I should prepare myself for, and what I will find out later on.
What should i do Im a 3rd year student in the biochemistry field in a university, and my life goal(which is already clear) is to be a computational biochemist, but my grades are bad as it is now. And based on research to achieve that kind of a goal requires a good amd high grades amidst competitions, which I don't have now. Should I still continue or rather chase this but I love it dearly. ?
I already have some knowledge about simple python and how ML operates behind the scene m, also studying protein which is part of my discipline.
How can I structure my next steps in a way that builds a strong, scholarship-worthy profile?
I’m a Biochemistry graduate with a strong interest in applying for Master's programs abroad. I have basic hands-on experience with fundamental biochemical techniques such as PCR, DNA extraction, and gel electrophoresis. However, I’m looking to strengthen my academic and professional profile to increase my chances of securing scholarships. I’ve completed several online courses through platforms like Coursera, but since I opted for the free versions, I don’t have certificates to show for them. I would appreciate guidance on: What specific skills (lab-based or computational) I should focus on improving? Are there any online internships or volunteer projects I can apply to that are relevant to biochemistry or bioinformatics? Where can I find internships in Islamabad, especially ones considered relevant to my field? How can I structure my next steps in a way that builds a strong, scholarship-worthy profile? I’ve previously completed an internship in the biology department of a university in Islamabad, and I’m eager to take on further experiences that can help me grow in the research and academic space. I’d be truly grateful for any advice, resources, or structured pathway you can suggest.
What is the best way to manage my time as a biochem major?
I'm currently a senior in high school preparing to transition to college and I was curious on how to best manage my time. I know the workload for science majors is heavier but I also wanted to get involved in other school activities and maintain a social life as well. Would it still be possible to do so?

How far can I expect to get in the biochemistry field with a bachelor's degree?
I'm a high school senior and will be entering my freshman year of college in the fall. While I haven't made any final decision as to what I will be majoring in (and I know my interests may shift within the next few years - I'm looking at biochemistry and chemical/biochemical engineering at the moment). I'm curious as to what I can expect within the biochemistry field directly out of college. What are the job prospects, and what will the pay typically be? Would it be more beneficial to pursue a master's degree directly after earning a bachelor's? #biochemistry #biochemist
I would like more insight on the life of a biochemist and a bio-medical engineer
I have been debating whether or not to go into biochemistry or bio-medical engineering and I found out that a bio-medical engineer makes more than a biochemist so now I am indecisive. #job #biochemistry #biochemist
