Bromine makes me unreasonably nervous.

That being said there aren't many MSDS that say "inhalation will cause death"

A higher level of organization offers fresh possibilities for complexification; the greater variety of components available to the suprasystem allows a larger range of structural and functional variation, with new connections imposed among the connected subsystems. Thus, by moving to a new organizational level, evolution penetrates to ever higher and more varied forms of structure and function.

They are found as fragrances in cosmetics or as flavorings in food, and form the basis of new medications: Terpenes are natural substances that occur in plants, insects and sea sponges. They are difficult to produce synthetically. However, chemists at the University of Basel are now introducing a new method of synthesis. Many natural substances possess interesting characteristics and can form the basis of new active compounds in medicine. Terpenes, for example, are a group of substances, some of which are already used in therapies against cancer, malaria or epilepsy.

I see you learned many subjects of interest at school, & that was impressive. Was It hard to incorporate interdisciplinary learning in life, like learning is great in itself but It takes a lot to piece together so many different pieces of theories in life. Do you mind sharing how you can make peace with all those information? thank you.

If I'm a good interdisciplinary learner today, there is lots of credit to go around. The school I went to encouraged interdisciplinary study and I was lucky to have met several interdisciplinary professors who had a deep influence on me. Also, when you majored in a so-called "impractical" subject, you were generally encouraged to pair it with something more practical. For instance, psychology students were often encouraged to double major with education or business, which fostered an interdisciplinary mindset. Unfortunately, I doubled down on the impractical by pairing with philosophy lol.

Many people don't know the history of the university. The first universities in early Western civilization only had one subject: philosophy. This meant philosophy had to cover everything, so it is interdisciplinary at heart. It wasn't until much later during the scientific revolution that natural sciences separated out from philosophy. And it wasn't until about a century ago that the social sciences separated out from the natural sciences.

Most philosophy courses in university are labeled "philosophy of _____". The blank includes a wide range of possible subjects, such as: aesthetics; bioethics; business ethics; culture; death; economics; education; environmental ethics; existentialism; gender; history; knowledge; language; law; literature; logic; love; mathematics; medicine; meta-ethics; metaphysics; mind; money; morality; politics; psychology; religion; rhetoric; science; sex; technology; values; etc.

A person who is drawn to major in philosophy is likely to already have an interdisciplinary attitude. As you can see, a well-educated philosophy major is basically able to understand the theoretical underpinnings of any subject, which gives them a big leg up in studying anything. People like to joke about philosophy majors having few practical skills (it is true in my case), but they consistently get the highest scores on tests of intellectual ability compared to every other major.

Fortunately, I am blessed with natural talent for learning theory as well as a personal passion for it, so I don't find it particularly difficult. As for how to "make peace" with all the information, it's hard to explain. Suffice it to say that the ability to learn progresses in predictable stages, from lower order to higher order thinking skills. A philosophy textbook that I can now absorb in a week might've taken me a month to process in the first year of university. You have to take a lot of time to build up a solid foundation of knowledge through lower order learning before you can reach the higher order stage of being able to synthesize information, see: Bloom's Taxonomy.
