It's been so long since i felt an apex beat, I certainly couldn't tell the difference between tapping and thumping.

I really hope you were ********d on mulled wine when you wrote that :wink:


I really liked the human nutrition module I did at Southampton. We had some lectures from the lady who wrote the paper telling everyone to eat something like 5 walnuts a day because you'd get all the selenium you needed that way and selenium was really good. Then she had to retract it because eating that many walnuts makes you radioactive. It was hilarious trying to watch her cover that one up in lectures. On a more serious note, the bits we did about how to approach treating aneamia in malnourishment cases because it's usually managed wrong were very interesting.

Have any other freshers had to pick SSC/SSM (student selected components etc) yet?
If so, what have you gone for :smile: ?


Our first formative one I went for the conflict and biological sciences option and constructed the title Chimera Viruses and their Applications in Modern Biological Warfare. I think I may have scared some people by how interesting I found them all - deadly but so, so clever. I have a bf in the army, hence the sticker in my sig and he was the inspiration for that one, listening to tales of him being gassed in training. The two I have been allocated for this year are Biofilms which I love because I am a paid up geek and I think they're really clever, and Eczema in Children, which lets me go on to the childrens ward and shadow consultants and talk to kids, I'm so excited - an actual ward! We haven't gotten to do anything like that yet. I was really happy as both of these were my choices, and the eczema one is a highly competitive one. Although I was sort of hoping I'd get the how to talk to kids one called "Help, They're Putting Ivy in my veins!" Ah, and to add to your list we call 'em SSU's. :tongue: :smile:
I'm finding hard to express just how much I want a pint of Guinness right now.

Starting to panic about intercalated applications! Has anyone applied as an external student before? I'm applying to Kings, Barts, and Imperial, I think...

I personally know a few who have experienced applying externally from George's but no, I don't actually know anyone on TSR who has externally intercalated. I'm applying externally to King's too. What are you hoping to intercalate in?

Don't worry he mainly teaches on the 5-year course, I don't think he has much to do with the intercalated degrees. :tongue:

Regenerative Medicine & Innovation Technology at Kings, Biomedical Engineering at Barts, or Surgery & Anaesthesia at Imperial. With Orthopaedic Technology at Dundee as a last resort :awesome: Are you the one who was talking about doing an iBSc Physiology a few pages back?

We've barely had any yet, I like the guy who does it but in terms of the content... :tongue: Not for me!

Yeah, for now I think I'll try and get onto studying a broader based subject for my intercalated degree. Your choices are way too specialised for my liking - I have no idea what I want to do when I graduate!
