Howdy,

Since this is a Science sub-forum, I figured it could be useful to educate ourselves about the different types of sciences that are currently available. So here's my idea... In each post, we choose a specific practice within any field or branch of science, and explain what it is and what it does, etc. The more detailed and straight forward the better, for the main purpose is really just to educate ourselves. Please do post whatever sources you use, for the sake of keeping this thread as legit as possible. I understand that some of you know a lot about science and I don't doubt your knowledge, but I do ask that you still provide us with a genuine source of information. It's just more professional that way!

By the way, definitely feel free to educate others about a certain profession or path you are currently pursuing. It could be interesting to know what you had to go through in order to get where you are, or where you are going.
Hope that makes sense...

Alright, let's educate ourselves !
