How rigorous are the required courses for a biochemistry major?

I was wondering if the courses to become a biochemistry major are extremely difficult. And if so, how much work and time they would require. Could I still hold a job while taking these classes? #medicine #science #biology #biotechnology #biochemistry

I understand that as a Forensic Biologist you are looking at DNA and the small micro details to solve a crime, however, how often does this evidence actually lead to a great discovery that solves the case?

I want to be a Forensic Biologist. I know what the job implies, but I really want to know how often the evidence actually leads to solving the crime. #professor #forensicscientist #criminologist #dnaanalysist #forensic #forensic-chemistry #forensic-analysis #biology #law-enforcement #criminal-justice

What can I do in high school to help prepare myself for earning a degree in medicine?

I'm a sophomore in high school and I've always loved studying biology and anything that had to do with science. I joined clubs at school like Young Leaders in Healthcare and Rady's Children Hospital Club. I'm planning on taking AP Bio, AP Chem, and AP physics, but I want to do more. Are there any summer programs, internships, or volunteering opportunities that are available to me? And also, what was your high school experience like that helped to prepare yourself for your career? #medicine #science #biology #internships #volunteering

For a career in research, do you recommend getting an MD and a PhD so you can leave the clinical option open?

I have talked with a professional in my chosen field and they suggested getting an MD because it allows you to do both the clinical and research side of the field. I'm pretty sure I only want to do research but I think I need more information about it. #medicine #biology

As an entering pre-med track student. Is it better to major in biology or a smaller section of biology (microbiology, molecular biology)? Which will prepare me for medical school the most.

I plan to attend college as a pre-med student with goals of one day becoming a physician. #doctor #medicine #college-major #biology #graduate-school #physician

What is the job market for marine biologists going to be like in the next 10-20 years?

I'm asking this mainly because I'm interested in a lot of potential majors. I'm a high school senior, and I have really good grades. However, I can't seem to pick out a major because I like the idea of doing so many of them. I've always had exceptional grades in Biology so I was wondering how the career opportunities would look after I graduate college. #biology #marine-biology #biotechnology
