HAPPY READING, HORROR FANS!

Cultural Dark Academia

After my last post about the lack of representation in academia, I felt it neccessary to provide some examples of what I’m talking about. Obviously there are more countries in the world than I can list and provide books for, so for a quick list this is what I got. !! Keep researching !! If you have any more books by POC please reply them !! If a country isn’t listed, that doesn’t mean it’s not important, this is just what I could get together real quick. If I made any mistakes, please let me know, we’re all learning. We need to help each other end eurocentrism in academia, so value representation and educate yourselves 💓💓💓

 So I recently uploaded a post giving tips on how to study history and I was requested by @cherrylips-cherrysoul to make a biology version so… Here it is!

In Class

- Taking Notes. I recommend taking notes in whatever format suites you, some like the Cornell method, i personally just jot down things on the page and later copy the notes out onto Onenote (meaning i can access my notes on my computer or the Onenote app on my phone)

- Asking Questions. Ask your teacher questions, that’s what they’re there for. If you don’t understand the lesson make sure that you understand it before you leave, do this by asking your teacher. 

Revising / Studying

I think the most important thing about studying biology is UNDERSTANDING the topics, not just memorising the information. If you don’t understand it you can’t apply it.

Read. Read your revision guides, articles and books it makes so much of a difference, and helps you understand what is going on in your lessons.

Watch Videos. There are so many great youtube channels that can teach you so much about biology and they may phrase things in a way differently to your teacher allowing you to look at the topic from a different perspective.

Make Flashcards (Again I like to use Quizlet as I can access my flashcards whenever I need them). You could use them for information about formulas, key ideas and facts.

Mindmaps, Link your ideas!! I think it’s so important to do this as, again, it makes you link your ideas and actually understand the topic.

Teach Someone! (or just pretend to), once again I think that this works for any subject and this is my favourite technique for memorising information, it means that you know that you understand topics and don’t just memorise them.

Experiment Write-Ups 

Do it ASAP. If you have to write about an experiment you did do it as soon as possible, this way the experiment is fresh in your mind.

Research. Research similar experiments or the topic your experiment is about in order to gain more understanding.

Exams

Smile!, I remember reading a study that found that students that sat an exam while smiling did significantly better than those who didn’t smile. I don’t know if I believe this and I’m usually against ‘exam hacks’ but I honestly believe smiling can make you do better, it makes you feel more confident and you spend less time stressing.

Know the exam format. When you enter an exam you should know - the style of questions you will be asked (multiple choice, essay-based i.e.), the length of the exam and the percentage of your grade it counts towards… this can easily be. found on your exam board’s website.

Practice makes perfect. I recommend taking and marking as many practice tests as you can, it makes you familiar with the process (and so less nervous in the actual exam), it also highlights your weakest areas and gives you ideas of what the. examiners are looking for.

Once again feel free to share your own tips and let’s ace this together.

Please request what topic you would like me to do next because I’m thinking of making this a series.

Heres my history post if you missed it and be sure to subscribe to my youtube channel and Instagram.

1. Scalp: 

5 layers  S - the Skin on head from which head hair grows

C - Connective tissue. A dense subcutaneous layer of fat and fibrous tissue that lies beneath the skin, containing the nerves and vessels of the scalp. A - The Aponeurosis called epicranial aponeurosis (Galea Aponeurotica). It is a tough layer of dense fibrous tissue which runs from the frontalis muscle anteriorly to the occipitals posteriorly. L - The loose areolar connective tissue. In scalping the scalp is torn off through this layer. It also provides a plane of access in craniofacial surgery and neurosurgery. This layer is sometimes referred to as the “danger zone” because of the ease by which infectious agents can spread through it to emissary veins which then drain into the cranium.  P -  The pericranium is the periosteum of the skull bones and provides nutrition to the bone and the capacity for repair. It may be lifted from the bone to allow removal of bone windows

2. Skull: It supports the structures of the face and provides a protective cavity for the brain. The skull is composed of 2 parts:

- the cranium - the mandible 

The human skull is generally considered to consist of 22 bones—8 cranial bones and 14 facial skeleton bones. In the neurocranium these are the occipital bone, 2 temporal bones, 2 parietal bones, the sphenoid, ethmoid and frontal bones.

The bones of the facial skeleton are the vomer, 2 nasal conchae, 2 nasal bones, 2 maxilla, the mandible, 2 palatine bones, 2 zygomatic bones, and 2 lacrimal bones. Some sources count a paired bone as one, or the maxilla as having two bones (as its parts); some sources include the hyoid bone or the three ossicles of the middle ear but the overall general consensus of the number of bones in the human skull is the stated twenty-two. 3. Dura mater:

Thick membrane that is the outermost of the three layers of the meninges. The dura surrounds the brain and the spinal cord and is responsible for keeping in the cerebrospinal fluid. 4. Arachnoid 2nd layer of the meninges 5. Pia mater

3rd layer of meninges

6. Subarachnoid space

Space between arachnoid mater and pia mater It is occupied by spongy tissue consisting of trabecular (delicate connective tissue filaments that extend from the arachnoid mater and blend into the pia mater) and intercommunicating channels in which the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is contained. 7. Cerebral cortex

The Cerebral Cortex is made up of tightly packed neurons and is the wrinkly, outermost layer that surrounds the brain. It is also responsible for higher thought processes including speech and decision making . The cortex is divided into four different lobes, the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital, which are each responsible for processing different types of sensory information.
