Why are many biology majors always black creatures?
First of all, according to my personal experience, in the foreseeable future in my lifetime, in China, the method of biology teaching may still follow the traditional small workshop-style hands-on teaching, and its specific experimental operation may still be the mechanical repetitive work of moving bricks. So far, I haven't seen any hope of change. The U.S. Emperor now has a cloud laboratory, saying that it uses machines instead of manpower to carry out experiments in Qualcomm, but it seems that it will not be popularized yet. The main means of traditional biological research still depends on the hands of doctoral and postdoctoral students and "artificial Qualcomm". Why do some universities, led by Qingbei, want to expand enrollment, engage in direct recruitment of doctoral students after graduate students, engage in ptn after direct recruitment of doctoral students, and engage in cls after ptn? Because of the lack of brick movers! There are many people, and "Qualcomm with human flesh" can make big news! This idea is not uncommon, and so are some big bosses in Qingbei. It's not dark anymore. My undergraduate course is a last-rate 985, but it is still a similar school in the future. However, not only is money tight, but also academic inbreeding, so many students are not interested in academics. Most people want to take the civil service exam and find a suitable job after graduation. To sum up, traditional biological research is completely different from what you think! ! ! Many traditional biological laboratories work for more than ten hours a day, and have a rest at most one day a week. However, the pathways and drugs you study sometimes feel worthless, except irrigation, which can't transform productivity at all! Secondly, I won't say much about the treatment of biology graduates. I just want to ask you if you are ready. In the next ten years, you will have to work about 80 hours a week (which is already less). There are basically no other holidays except the Spring Festival. After graduation, your salary is half that of others, and you can't find a teacher to be a Millennium doctor. If all this doesn't stop your interest in biology, I will take my hat off to you if I don't say that you are a great person who has broken away from low tastes. The background knowledge of biology is not difficult, but complicated. Basically look at biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology. It's good to have a few feelings, others are accumulated when doing projects. Compared with mathematics and physics, the entry threshold of biology is simply too low, okay? My boss has a bachelor's degree and a doctor's degree in chemistry, and he didn't set foot in biology until he graduated from the doctor's degree. He hasn't done as much pcr as I have, so he can still study biological problems (of course, he certainly doesn't know as much as people who read biology all the way). On the contrary, as a powerful means to study problems, computers are very valuable in biological applications. High-throughput sequencing data analysis, single molecule imaging, synthetic biology, system biology, which does not need computer and programming? ! If you are good at programming and know a lot about biology, there must be a market. The question is from which angle do you look at biological problems.
