Page Of Some Notes From A Thing About Vitamin C Deficiency, Including A Print Of A Rocket That Came With

May you all reach a point in your career where you can steal a chart off the internet and only draw it halfway then say almost nothing important about it and file it as an “important research note” for later use in a presentation

This is the most simplified I could make it... Here’s a histology “slide” of a human adrenal gland for y’all who “don’t do cells.” (Placement may be a bit inaccurate, cause I stole this from a borrowed notebook.)

Fun fact: I once had someone try to argue with me that the adrenal gland is a “kidney warmer” that does not actually produce hormones, because “it doesn’t look like a real organ.”

It is my first time using hex graph paper in a good while so I’m making it a new “chemicals of interest” notebook.

I think it looks passable so far, though sometimes I include the hydrogens because it’s fun to draw on this.

When I first got started with directing my own experiments, I had that “I don’t want to be seen with my fancy textbooks because I’ll look like I don’t know what I’m doing!” outlook going on almost constantly.

Now I’m here saying “Hold up, I forgot how this works, let me get the book that I remember learning it from.”

Snatched a diagnostic chart for parathyroid disorders out of a textbook I couldn’t take home because I don’t trust private libraries and also here’s some possible causes of elevated basophils:

Thyroid function panel (data stolen from my diagnostics ref) with the added bonus of some structures I’ll probably regret not being able to recognize without a guide

Revision of some notes on the grapefruit juice effect on drugs, because pulling up a wikipedia page in a room of doctors would be a mistake

Look at that nasty grapefruit too

An update - 2 June 2022

Where have I been? Why have I not posted in MONTHS? Despite feeling like it, I didn’t die!

Learning about library management so I can take better care of my own book collections and potentially get hired for it

Trying my absolute best to understand bioinformatics (It’s not going well, I feel like I’m too mentally worn down for this level of computer stuff.)

Writing out pages in the rough draft and background research phases for some of the open textbooks I want to publish

Sharpening my HTML/CSS skills to make a good website

Coming to terms with the fact I have kidney issues but being ignored by my doctor despite them being the one that tested me

Hoping to start learning Russian again when I have enough free time between studies and preparing experiments

Taking a break from data science for a bit (My understanding never got past pre-calc, technical math expects way too much from me)

...And last but not least, practicing my non-science related essays, because maybe I’d like to try my hand at cultural analysis (for fun)

Anyways, thanks for stopping by, I’ll keep posting art, but that's how my life is going at the moment. I wasn’t expecting to pass 500 followers, but here you guys are! Thank you!

Got some microorganisms that are soon to be examined 🐚🐟🔬

Nothing quite like doubting your own legitimacy as a researcher because of one brightly coloured noodle.
