We humans may love the security of things we can count on, things like protocols and management, axioms and HR. But you are a scientist, and curiosity and discovery define your world. So buckle up: we are going after the status quo.

Episode 50 — I Hate Math (and Organic Chemistry and Applied Physics)

Early on, you discovered you liked science class better than other classes, say composition, or history, or literature. There is nothing wrong with preferences. You may even have liked some of those non-science classes, if not as much. But some classes, you hated. Maybe you could avoid gym class or drama class. But there was no hiding from math. And it keeps showing up in your scientific environment. What is a scientist to do when these undesirable subjects keep rearing their ugly heads? Check the book Lab Math: A Handbook of Measurements, Calculations, and Other Quantitative Skills for Use at the Bench - https://www.cshlpress.com/default.tpl?cart=164571466355269788&fromlink=T&linkaction=full&linksortby=oop_title&--eqSKUdatarq=973 Hosted by Bitesize Bio’s own Dr. Nick Oswald featuring Kenneth Vogt of Vera Claritas.
