My nicknane was “walking encyclopedia” when I was a kid so that tracks.
In my undergrad I went from being a chemistry/physics double major to a biochemist and finally finished my chemistry degree. (I am not far from having 3 degrees) I studied ASL, German and Japanese, modded video games and competed in a semiprofessional starcraft league. I wrote instrument guides and procedures for undergrads, contributed to papers on bioremediation, synthesized nanoparticles using genetically engineered enzymes. I developed a method for a plant alkaloid assay and a new way to reduce noise in an experiment designed to measure the rate of certain reactions that occur in extremely diluted systems. i.e single or double digit number of molecules in the entire sample.
Now I tutor college students in chemistry, physics, math and biology and work on computational chemistry projects.
Could I borrow your ability to productively function for 3-5 years? I need to clean up a decade of wasted time real quick
Trust me, you don’t want this. It took me 15 years to finish my degree. I was diagnosed in my last semester right before the pandemic started after having a mental breakdown and subsequent year of therapy. It turns out it wasn’t (clinical) anxiety and depression, it was ADHD.
“Inhumanely” fast is right.
“Uh, sub- or super- ?”
“Yes”
