Calling all science students and enthusiasts!!
I would absolutely love to have a science-revolving passion project and I’ve narrowed it down to a blog/blog-type-website. I love learning about science but so rarely take the time to actually research the things that interest me. With being a high school student, exams and life this is quite a big task to handle for 1 person and I’d love others to contribute to this!
This is by no means a set plan yet, I’m just sharing a rough idea, so if you could please interact with this post or dm me if you would be interested in something of this kind. Even if you see this 5 months after this was posted (and hopefully a working project or at least WIP) still reach out if you’re interested.
You don’t have to be a great writer for this either nor fascinated about each and every science. My favourite is chemistry, but it would be nice if this project could incorporate the 3 main branches of science: biology, chemistry and physics. It depends on if people would be interested in reading something like this or participating in, and their preferred subjects. You could write about astronomy as a whole, or go into chemistry and analysing electronic configuration, talking about your favourite dinosaur bones in palaeontology, a passive behaviour analysis in psychology, or explaining how exactly scabs work in biology. These would probably be short to mid-length entries and 1/2 times a month.
But this is just my idea and how far I’ve gone with it, feedback is appreciated, there will be more updates to come (not too many until afer my exams in May tho), and I appreciate any reblogs to share this idea with others!
Hopefully a couple people would like to help out in this project and please ask questions if you have any (as a dm or ask) ^^

2 things that need to be made standard practices by law or I will scream
1. Best by dates need to be marked in an easy to find spot, clearly legible, and BIG ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY BE READ.
I cannot tell you how many times I have been asked by older people in my life to read the best by date because they straight up can't. Even when I do manage to find it, sometimes I can't fucking read it either because of how small and poorly printed it is. Sometimes no one in my household can even find it in the first place!
This is dangerous especially with meat products. What about people with poor vision who live alone?
2. In a similar vein, the dosage for any medication by should be also easy to find and read. Not hidden somewhere in the tiny text of the instructions that are a struggle to read.
Yeah it forces people to read through instructions. Assuming your vision is even good enough. Still how much you can safely take should be highlighted and clear first. If someone can't find the dosage easily they risk taking the wrong one and hurting themselves.
I know how Tylenol works, just tell me how many pills I'm allowed to take. Is it 2 or 1?!
