Don't like Science

Post Reply New Topic

Science has been my longest and favorite interest.

I can't really see myself as anything but interested in science.

I didn't particularly like science when I was in school. I wasn't interested in it and didn't really try that hard to understand it, so science related subjects were far from being my strongest subjects at school. I think that the boring teaching materials and teaching methods were to blame for that.

In my late teens I became interested in some parts of science, but remained uninterested in most of it. In my twenties I became more interested in other parts of science too though and today I really love science. I love learning more about it and now that I'm interested in it it's much easier to learn and understand than before when I didn't care. With better access to better and more interesting forms of information and teaching materials it has become more fun to learn science.

I like science.

I'm not good at any part of science involving numbers, though. Blech.

I'm good in biology and chemestry (if it's taught correctly). I flunked physics because my teacher just assigned pages out of the text book, had us memorize a crapload of equations, and then called you a failure if you didn't understand a formula after the first explanation.

No. It was my favorite subject. Zoology and biology were always a breeze for me.

I couldn't agree more.


My love of science isn't for any particular field but for the scientific method. Our ability to use deductive reasoning to discover and describe the universe around us is, in my opinion, beautiful.




I'd recommend this book to anybody who hasn't read it.

I had an aptitude for anything having to do with biosciences but was lousy at algebra and didn't have much interest in math.
I had a biology class in the tenth grade that dissected frogs and the formaldehyde the frogs were preserved in gave me a terrible headache...so bad it was hard to concentrate on the lab. I got put in an easier biology class that didn't involve dissecting anything all because the formaldehyde made me sick.
That was in mid high school. The district I went to school in didn't have 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades all in the same building.
Once I got into college, I really enjoyed Biology but didn't want to pursue a Bachelors in it because of the math courses required.
The classes I enjoyed most were humanities courses and foreign languages.

I think science is OK. Some of it interests me, but on the whole, there are other things that interest me more. I never found it all that hard, but I never took physics because I'm terrible at math.

I love science and it was my favorite class despite often failing it.

I love science and do very well in university biology (especially neuroscience because I have an intense interest in it)! However I had a lot of trouble with math and never understood physics in high school.....I haven't attempted to take it in university. I have a nonverbal learning disorder...so I think the reason higher level math and physics were difficult for me is that these subjects (or at least certain aspects of them) require an understanding of spatial relations. I did very well in Statistics though...........

I was pretty bad at everything except science and philosophy. I find all other fields extremely boring and/or difficult. I wasn't good at all sciences but my favourite long-term topics/interests in science/philosophy were/are quite specific:

1. Philosophy of physics/metaphysics/cosmology/Bohmian mechanics
2. Strength training/nutrition
3. Psychiatry/Psychopharmacology

Favourite current sub-topics:

1. Panpsychism model of solving the mind-body problem (consciousness) and Bohm's interpretation of QM
2. Training parameters to optimize strengh and muscle size gains
3. Social Anxiety sub-types

Favourite links associated with 3 sub-topics:
