I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask but I want a minor in BME because the field interests me but I’m not looking to major in it. Any suggestions on what a good major would be? I’m also interested in psychology but im not sure if those two would work well together. Any advice helps! submitted by /u/wpsyb [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I think bioengineering is really cool and I was wondering if we could use it to... create bioengineered sex toys? I'm sure there are a variety of ways you could do it but I wanted to ask people who know what their talking about. submitted by /u/Academic_Educator538 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello all, I am currently a student at a California community college aiming to transfer to a top UC. My interests have narrowed me to either chemical engineering or bioengineering (NOT biomed). I'm excited by a few prospects including but not limited to: green energy, nuclear fusion and fission, converting waste to fuel, converting plastics back to oil, growing lab meat, possibly working in pharmaceuticals, gene and DNA editing, GMOs, etc. Given this all, which is a more appropriate field for my bachelor's? Any help would be much appreciated! submitted by /u/SomeRandomGuy069 [visit reddit ..read more

my college doesn’t offer any BME classes except for a masters program. im a biology major wanting to apply for the BME program but i haven’t taken any engineering classes during my undergrad, just the typical calc/ chem/ physics/ biochem courses. especially for the thesis track, are undergrad engineering classes critical? submitted by /u/karamo12 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello all, for an assignment I have to perform a literature search and present recent advances in leukodepletion/leukoreduction techniques. Could anyone suggest me where I can find more info? Is there on the market something really innovative, apart from standard blood filters? Your recommendations would be appreciated, thank you. submitted by /u/91chatPTi [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Is it true that in episomal vectors for gene delivery, scientists can use the episomes from yeasts to deliver a large piece of gene that can be millions of base pairs long into the cell nucleus, and those episomes can transfect non-dividing cells such as neuron? Does it mean that unlike plasmids, the episomes don't need to rely on the breakdown of the nuclear membrane during cell proliferation to get into the nucleus? If so, do episomes enter the nucleus through the pores on the nuclear membrane? If they have millions of bases pairs, how could they possibly fit into those pores that are extre ..read more

I’m currently a sophomore Bioe major and im not sure if it’s for me. I really enjoy science specifically biology but I feel like I’m struggling more than other students are. I don’t think I’d be able to do hard school for engineering as the two years. I’ve experienced have been taxing enough and after I get a degree I wouldn’t want to look back. That being said according to my schools stat only abt 40 percent of students go into industry with a bachelors. I don’t want to be stuck doing lab stuff for the rest of my life. I want to be happy. All the big stuff I find cool is all for the big leag ..read more
