Not really. Using "5/2 quantum Hall state" would work, though it is always referred to as the 5/2 fractional quantum Hall state in the literature and having read it that way so many times, the "fractional" just manages to find its way in there when I type it out as a result.

My original plan was to go to grad school, get a PhD, and live the rest of my life being completely out of touch with the rest of the world while I went full sperglord researching my interests. I've heard too many bad things about scientific research though and literally every day now I find out something new that makes it seem like an even worse idea to pursue than it did before. So now I'm thinking I'll just go to medical school instead and become a psychiatrist or neurologist. Shit, everyone in the general public already assumes I'm studying to be a doctor anyway when I tell them what my major is/was, at least now I won't have to waste extra time telling them that neuroscience =/= neurology.

"I've heard too many bad things about scientific research though and literally every day now I find out something new that makes it seem like an even worse idea to pursue than it did before." this resonates with me, I am applying for grad schools now, and looking for a summer research for post baccalaureate when I graduate. Really reconsidering my major.>>4271391
My sibling has Bachelors in business, which is easy, and she has a great job after a 4 month internship. True research outside of University seems to be a dead topic. I do not want to be fighting in the ivory tower, by any means.

As bad as science is, unfortunately EVERYTHING is bad right now, and not just because of the recession. Corporate jobs are getting hard to find, IT jobs are being shipped overseas all the time, law is completely glutted and in terrible shape, psychology is in the exact same boat as law, etc. Medical fields (pharmacist, osteopath, allopath, optometrist, nurse, physician's assistant, etc.) are really the ONLY careers left that have good opportunities, job security, and pay. It says a lot about how bad the job market has gotten over the last three decades when the only thriving market revolves around keeping people alive.

My current plan is to go into a PhD in Neuroscience and get a job at a university. I am waiting to see how my Honors year go, because I will be applying for Honors in Neuroscience as well as Statistics (second major) and go from there.

However I don't plan to do an MD because it doesn't interest me.

I'm technically majoring in Biomedical Sciences however within that, you have to specialize, mine being obviously neuroscience.

First and second year you study more broad biomed classes cover topics such as cell structure and function, genetics and phsiology and then 2nd semester, second year and third year you study more specific classes such as neuroanatomy, neurobiology, pharmacology, cognitive psychology/neuroscience.

As to where the education takes you, it depends on what you are interested in. You can use it as way to get into an MD or you can go into research.

It' not a particularly hard major unless you really dig down deep.

If you put even a modicum of effort into it, professors will notice. Most people who take anthro. courses these days do it as pre-professionals or because they just need a major.

I was generally interested in it from a young age and decided to do it. When speaking to a professor, he once commented that I'd make a great anthropologist as was attempting to guide me in the field.

Alas, I opted for something far safer in terms of job prospects. The activism in present day anthropology really bogged me down too.

Archaeology and Biological Anthro. are bro tier. Cultural and Linguistics...not so much.
