How do I know if I want to be in behavioral neuroscience, or psychology ?
I am 28 and have decided I’d like to go back to school. I’d love to study psychology, but more specifically behavioral neuroscience. I know this is a challenging field of study, I am starting off with only a few classes so I can get back in the swing of things and not overwhelm myself. I believe I would be an amazing psychologist, but my deepest interest lies in the brain itself. The emotional labor of therapy is something I don’t think I could handle long term. I’m afraid of biting off more than I can chew with neuroscience, especially after being out of school for quite awhile. Should I major in psychology and minor in biology or chemistry until I find where my interest lies most? I’m feeling very nervous about going back to school, and I’m afraid I’ll waste time going down the wrong path.

What are some extracurriculars I could do that is stem/medicine based?
I’ve had a lot of ideas on what Extracurriculars I want to do but they just seem too much for me to accomplish as a 16 year old. Some ideas I had was formulating an eco friendly sunscreen using chemistry principals but I would assume you need to have a degree in chemistry. Another idea was creating a skin cancer detecting app, or starting a program by going around to different schools, and/or community centers providing information on skin cancer and hosting events with the help of volunteers from my school. Honestly this all just seems really complicated for me to do especially without a mentor. I plan to start volunteering at a kidney center next month and get a part time job on the weekends. At the moment I am applying to stem/medicine based internships. I need some advice. I am 16 and in 10th grade. I plan to major in chemistry and I aspire to be a dermatologist.
