  • It definitely is imo.

    The fields jargon is necessary for the experts to talk effeciently to each other, then it becomes second nature for them.

    Then, when they have to talk about their expertise to the public, nothing is retained, actionable or even understood, because there is simply not a common vocabulary backed by the same experiences.

    At best you get a confused public, at worst they react with apprehension.

    Youd need seasoned science communicators, capable to bridge the “culture” of the public and the one of the experts, which is hard.

    Plus, the skills to become an expert are often very different to the ones that a science communicator needs, like summarising in an engrossing way, glossing over the right amount of boring details, empathy and patience for an unresponsive audience…


  • First time felt like euphoria, I was really dopamine starved and barely aware about anything in comparison to my present life. It took some time to find the right dosage where I felt a difference but still myself. Now im switching since there is a shortage in what I usually take and so im on a new medication, and I can really feel a difference in how its reacting with my body.

    Any brand new type of input should be examined over time. Everyone reacts differently.

    Trust your practitioner, and ask him to try different meds if you feel like its not working for you. It makes sense that it takes time to adapt to type and dosage.

    You are supplementing a what would be normal function in your body with an exterior one, so take the time to understand what you need.

    And I get the stress about uni. But I feel like taking the time to appreciate the right medication precedes it, as you need one thing working to pass: yourself!







  • I think realising when to back off doing what Im doing because im putting off another task. I feel like since I started taking breaks between activities to let my mind “reset” has helped me transition to more boring tasks.

    Im constantly watching films, listening to podcasts or music, so I have to take like a small 3-5 minutes of silence to unload what I was doing before loading in what I need to do.

    Also taking this time is not at all wasting it. Ive become mindfull about how much “waste” ive been “doing” and stopped keeping it against myself so its been way more liberating. When you do that, its easier to justify schedualing, and not keep cranking the productivity knob to the max to make up for time.

    Finally, I try to make things pretty, to get back to it with lesser resistance, like coding better looking functions, writing less hurriedly, cleaning my instruments for cooking etc with more minutia but taking my time with it.

    Also, I stopped trying to multitask stuff to the extreme. I refuse to listen to music while im reading, I refuse to watch a movie and study, watching a stream and gaming at the same time.

    This seems like obvious stuff, so the TLDR is take your time, don’t find ways to blame yourself but concentrate on how to move on. And take breaks ppl, we are not robots.
