BRSTV has the complete “master class” on YouTube.

The investigate series where they set up several tanks and experimented on how each one behaves is definitely worth the time to watch.

I wouldn't wish organic on my worst enemy even though it has been helpful to a certain degree in reefing
i actually liked organic chem haha it was the physical chem 2 that killed me :( just getting thrown into quantum mechanics before taking partial differential equations was rough lol

Wow, I was just the opposite. Might have been my organic chem Prof's fault, making it all about memorizing, but I hated it, while P-chem was what saved me and made me want to be a chemist. So much of it is intuitive and not just memorization. :)

ideal gas law; makes perfect sense

reaction of
(3R,5R)-7-[2-(4-Fluorophenyl)-3-phenyl-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)-5-propan-2-ylpyrrol-1-yl]-3,5-dihydroxyheptanoic acid
with
1,1'-(2,2,2-Trichloroethane-1,1-diyl)bis(4-chlorobenzene)?

Nothing comes to mind lol

Yeah my orgo 2 professor was the same way. I still have hundreds of flash cards in my backpack. Yall persevered way more than my I switched my major to computer science

ideal gas law is fine but when they get into “write the wave function for this system of particles. what is the uncertainty?” i start sweating it wasn’t until graduate thermo that i really understood (and by “really” i mean basic rudimentary understanding) systems of particles. which is a little embarrassing because it’s my whole degree lol

I agree that wave functions start to lose touch with everyday reality, and have no place in reefing. lol

they will always have a place in my nightmares

i wonder if anyone ever had a fish tunnel through the glass and end up on the floor because the fish' wave function extended outside the tank.

If it happened, they probably assumed it jumped out the top, and we will never hear about it. lol
