Here in Quebec women keep their maiden names after marriage.No one loses their identity and the administrative overhead public purse costs to update government records are minimized, Also, no more scenarios where divorced women go through life with a surname that wasn't even theirs before marriage. If really want to take on husband's name, requires filling in forms and incurs costs as would any other legal name change request.

If there’s one thing we’re pretty sure about, it’s that if something exists on the net, someone will make sure to create a few hilarious memes about it. Nowadays, we use memes in a stunning variety of ways, and their explosive growth can be explained by their format and hilariously contagious nature. After all, they’re the perfect attention trap that allows us to consume them in mere seconds before scrolling down to the next one.
To learn more about the meme universe, we reached out to Bradley E. Wiggins, Ph.D., author of The Discursive Power of Memes in Digital Culture and an associate professor and department head of Media Communications at Webster Vienna Private University.

They need this everywhere, IMO. If I’d had this in my 5th year of high-school, maybe I could’ve at least got a few GCSE’s completed before I had to be permanently removed from school by my own GP for the sake of my mental AND physical health (chronic depression & bodily infections caused by stress, all of which I’m still being medicated for every day). All my chances of further education/work had fricked-off out of the window, too. I guess making something of myself just wasn’t meant to be. At least I can still give all my support to my other nieces & nephews. Especially my 24YO niece Aoife, who is in Barbados right now; taking her electoral for neuroscience & will be a fully-fledged doctor next year. First doctor in the family & we couldn’t be prouder! I’m sure she’d love this idea of using a pet to relieve stress on exam-days, too (though I think she leans more towards her beloved cat she grew up with). 🙂📝💖🐈

Main issue with education. Fun classes like this are useless but cost a fortune. Enjoying courses is a luxury.
We were curious to learn what makes memes such a great communication medium that can contribute to discussions on virtually any type of topic. According to him, we should first take a look at this phenomenon from a different perspective: "What is it about our attention span that means we want tightly-packaged chunks of information we commonly refer to as memes?"
"Another researcher in this area, Limor Shifman, has referred to this as the hyper-memetic, meaning that once an event — say the war in Ukraine or the Depp-Heard trial — captures attention, the memes flow. On the one hand, of course this makes sense: people want to get in on the gossip or the latest info," he told Bored Panda. "But more importantly, and maybe a bit disturbingly, on the other hand, this means that we can't really determine what's more important, so we pay attention to all of it."

In Wiggins’ personal and professional opinion, it’s all about semiotics. Or in other words, it’s about interpreting symbols and signs and trying to grasp how meaning is communicated. "Semiotics concerns itself with the way meaning is constituted, and this is especially relevant to memes given their visual nature," the professor explained. "The problem is that this applies to both funny and silly memes as well as highly offensive and hurtful memes such as those posted by extremist groups online (like 4chan)."

The list of why memes are so appealing to us is filled to the brim with different reasons. These funny pictures allow us to share easy-to-digest cultural information with the whole world. They also make it easier for us to unwind from our daily troubles and can significantly improve our mood. And the fact that they are easily relatable to people of all age groups makes them seem even more likable.
"Within an image and possibly also text on the image, it becomes possible to recontextualize the image, the moment, the event, etc.," Wiggins said, adding that memes become something we can digitally handle and transfer to others.
"It's ultimately an aspect of social ties to one another deteriorating over time causing the need for connecting with others to take the form of sharing memes, at least in one way of seeing this overall picture," the professor noted.

But when it comes to science and using memes as a tool for teaching, the professor suggests proceeding with caution. After all, there’s a fine line between truth and fiction. Wiggins stated that "with the preponderance of fake news but also the inability of people to 'trust' facts," he would be quite skeptical of the current political atmosphere to use memes as a way to learn new subjects and better understand the world around us.
"However, in terms of using memes in the classroom to make a point about something, say, for example, how certain social movements communicate their identity, then absolutely," he concluded.

I handed mine in, only for my teacher to tell me the next day that, though I got all of the answers right, I failed with 0% because the working out I had shown was not the "correct" way he required. I realised at that moment that I was never in my life going to need a quadratic function, and I certainly wasn't going to be continuing school after the Summer holidays. I was right on both counts.

After studying microbiology

Actually, this feels more like a before picture. After studying microbiology you’d know microbes are everywhere anyway, the bad ones aren’t necessarily on that railing and also, they’re way smaller than the holes in that piece of paper.

My high school physics teacher taught my class basic calculus without us knowing it. The small rural high school didn't offer calculus and wouldn't let him teach it because he wasn't certified in the subject. He taught us a bunch of "math short cuts" to get around the algebra to save time on the physics tests. When I got to college and took the math placement exam, I had no idea how to answer the questions on differentiation, infinitesimal limits, and integrals because I'd never seen the notation. Once I took the actual calculus course I realized I knew a bunch more than I thought but my science teacher purposefully left out things like the integral sign to get around the school board. Mr. Roberts, if you read this - thank you!

Actually places where we need sterility have a much better case for continuing to use plastic. Its for most everyday use its completely pointless and could be replaced by other materials relatively easily. The point isnt that we need to stop using plastic entirely, the point is, its the default for EVERYTHING, especially disposable things, which us ironic since plastic is one of the most ling lasting materials we have. The iron pot you inherit from you grandma? Rusted away in a couple hundred years. Your disposable fork? Still here once humanity ends.

Most of the plastic in the ocean comes from the fishing industry. (It doesn't just magically come out of landfills and end up in the ocean.) To prevent destruction of marine ecosystems, sadly you have to avoid eating fish. Especially ones caught with nets.

During university, twice I had to go to the washroom because my eyes started leaking for no particular reason. Literally, I felt okay and nothing had happened. It was my body excreting cortisol spontaneously. Thank you mother nature for tears. They never knew why we leaked till they examined tears and found them swimming with the stress hormone cortisol. So, our grannies who told us to have a good cry and we'd feel better when we were upset knew all along. Thumbs up for grannies.

I had a classmate who spent a significant part of his summer working on gas movement through a liquid for an engineering project he was thinking of doing for his senior thesis. Returning to school, his advisor asked why he didn't just use Graham's Law of Diffusion. He'd accidentally tried to rediscover diffusion. Ended up doing a real good project in fluid dynamics but we still tease him.

So true. Here's the definition on biologydictionary.net: The Krebs cycle is likely the most important part of the process of aerobic respiration because it drives the formation of electron carriers. These carriers are important. They carry the energy used to create a large number of ATP molecules in the final steps of aerobic respiration.

People often confuse opinions for facts, and visa versa. Also, as in this case, misinformation for facts. It's like saying, "i didn't need government assistance to succeed in life, therefore nobody does". This is both misinformation, cause you got schooling, access to the output of medical research, roads, police protection, etc. Also it's still an opinion, not a fact.
