Imagine dipping a rod into a liquid mixture filled with particles. When you pull the rod out, do particles stick to it? The answer depends on the relative importance of two sets of forces: the viscous drag as you lift the rod and adhesive power of surface tension. Scientists express this as a dimensionless ratio known as the capillary number. 

When the capillary number is small, viscous drag dominates, and any particles that try to stick to the rod get pulled away (upper left). But as you increase the capillary number, surface tension helps particles clump together and stick to the rod (lower left and right). If the surface tension forces are strong enough – meaning that the capillary number is high –  you can actually get multiple layers of particles adhering to the dipped surface.

Pathways

Life has been great as I have been blessed enough to graduate college with (almost) straight A’s in a Bachelor’s of Science in Biochemistry. This is huge for for because I am the first generation of my family to come to the U.S.A. and gain a worthy education that can further me in my career. At this time, I am studying for the MCAT by simply reading the books, taking the end of chapter FSQ’s and Passages, and watching videos for the first 1.5months and then the latter 1.5 months of studying will be mainly practice passages and full length tests (kill me now). I am trying very hard to achieve this goal of becoming a MD or DO because it is not only a calling for me but also a statement that good and humble people from 3rd world countries can come to the USA, raise decent children and help them become what ever they want. That is why I love this country and would fight for it. My daily “study” routine consists of making coffee, making breakfast and just grinding my MCAT material for several hours, going to the gym, grinding more, having dinner, grinding more than going to bed only to repeat the entire cycle once more. If any one has any questions on Biochemistry or how to STUDY for the MCAT just let me know and I would love to reach out and help you. Remember to always keep God close to your heart as He is the only true Truth that you can rely on and when you finally realize this, life just falls into place exactly the way it was meant to be.

Today was absolutely horrific. May God heal my thoughts and keep my heart in a solid place. I pray that no one ever experiences what I just did. 10/17/18

To the naked eye, mussels and other bivalves don’t appear to be doing much. But these filter feeders are hard at work. The mussel takes in water through its incurrent siphon (on the right side in this image), and tiny cilia move the water through its gills, which filter out plankton and other edibles. Wastewater flows out the exacurrent siphon, seen here as the plume coming out the top of the mussel.

Mussel species are important indicators of the health of both fresh and marine water bodies. Because they’re stationary and they are constantly processing the water, the health of these bivalves is indicative of the ecosystem’s overall health. (Image credit: S. Allen, source)

tbh a lot of my advice boils down to “hey you know that terrible horrible looming thing you’re doing your best to avoid and distract and escape as much as possible but no matter what you do it just keeps looming and looming and ruining your life”

“just, fuckign, run straight at it screaming.”

Focus.

If I am focused on the wrong things then I will fail. 

I am *fill in the blank*, I am * fill in the blank*  

I am focused on God.

How to Get Over Regrets

1. You can’t change what happened as yesterday is gone - but you can make some choices so the future turns out better.

2. We all have regrets – it is part of being human. There’s no-one who is perfect, or who does things perfectly.

3. See it as a life lesson, and something you can learn from. Good can come from your regrets if you’ll let them change your ways.

4. See yourself as a new person … As a person you believe in …. As someone you are proud of, and as someone who you like.

5. Practise self-compassion and give yourself a break. You still deserve to be loved … it doesn’t matter what you’ve done.

6. That was then – and this it now …. Let it go and look ahead … For you can’t change your future if you’re always looking back.

In “Hydrophytes,” industrial designer Nicole Hone imagines a future in which we’ve designed aquatic plants to counter some of the effects of climate change. To create her plants, Hone designed them with digital tools, then printed them with multi-material 3D printers. Their movements are brought to life with pneumatic pumps that fill and collapse them in response to external interactions. The motion and character of these imagined plants is astounding; they truly seem to be alive. It’s an incredible intersection of science, art, and technology. Check out the full film below.
