    I watch your main channel videos all the time, but I had never seen this one and in general some of this stuff from 4-5 years ago. I’m so grateful for you sharing your kindness, humor, and intelligence.

    Congratulations! That facility looks awesome (sorry to hear about the sleep you've been getting) and it's great that you've finally graduated!

      Mia Bobeea it was a really cool place. The sleep was annoying but after a day to reset it was fine, at least I didn't have to worry about assignments or shit when I was tired :P and thanks! It feels good

    I'm just stumbling across your channels now and I fucking love everything about what you're doing. It's cool as shit, and your presentation style is just the fucking best!
    But more than any of that, and I know i'm hella late to the party, but holy fuck congratulations on graduating with a degree in a field you're actively doing stuff in!
    Your channels and others like it are the kinds of channels that make the best kind of connection between regular people and sciencey stuff you know? It feels like more and more like regular every day life, and the science that underpins all of it, are becoming so disconnected. So boss science cats like you doing stuff like this is essential in bridging that. It makes bomb ass science accessible.
    Fuckin' A man, thank you for the work you do!

    Certainly an impressive machine there. Well done, and congratulations! Even if your sleep cycle is messed up, you've absolutely earned the degree. Keep up the good work!

    That's cool! We have done XRD back then at a sychrotron in germany. I've done a lot of filming, but couldn't find out if uploading anything would be legal... Congratulations!

    • @ExtractionsAndIre
      @ExtractionsAndIre  7 лет назад

      Yes it is hard to find these things out, but then if you ask it is easier for them to just say no. I would love to see your footage, so I hope you decide to publish it sometime

    Congrats on your graduation!
    (If you want my advice, go for a master's degree. There isn't much to do with just a bachelor's degree that isn't just boring and repetitive preparations)
    (Also, that's a funny coincidence, I'm going to the synchrotron in Grenoble (the ESRF) in just a little over a week to run some of my samples! I never got to do that sort of stuff during my undergrad though. Lucky you! ^^)

    • @ExtractionsAndIre
      @ExtractionsAndIre  7 лет назад +6

      That's good advice I feel, and I've taken it already.. of sorts. In Australia we have a slightly different system for science degrees, i'm not sure why. The ordinary B.Sc. degree takes three years, and there's no research involved. I finished that last year. You can then follow on to do a year of research, termed an 'honours' year, and you then finish with a B.Sc(Honours) which is slightly higher then a BSc but lower than a Master's. More importantly I feel, it brings it more in line with a BSc internationally because most places assume there's research involved in the degree, so my BSc(Honours) = European BSc for example. And my ordinary BSc = Europeans laughing at me.
      The difficulty then is that once you've done the Honours, you can't do a masters. The path is BSc --> Honours --> PhD--> Out or BSc --> Master's --> Out. This means a PhD takes 7 years to get here (3+1+3)
      So I am more qualified then a BSc, less than a Master's, but cannot get any higher without a PhD.

      "More importantly I feel, it brings it more in line with a BSc internationally because most places assume there's research involved in the degree, so my BSc(Honours) = European BSc for example. And my ordinary BSc = Europeans laughing at me."
      Strange, I did my B.Sc in France ("licence" as we call it), it took three years and there was no research involved.
      And if you can't do a Master's in Australia, surely you could do one abroad, like in Europe.
      Or have you heard of KAUST? It's where I did mine (and my Ph.D now). It's in Saudi Arabia (yeah, I know...), but the whole campus (which is basically an independent city, I haven't left it in months) is built as a western enclave, where the country's religious laws don't apply. It's 70% foreigners (like me), and everyone speaks english. Studies there are very research-focused, you've got funding and access to big instruments like nowhere else, and they actually pay you a salary during your studies. (I have student _savings_. Tell that to someone in the US!). Downside is that life outside of work can be a bit boring.
      (Or go straight for the Ph.D as you said.)

    • @ExtractionsAndIre
      @ExtractionsAndIre  7 лет назад +2

      So maybe I'm wrong about bringing it up to international standard... but yeah I am at least slight above a BSc here anyway.
      Oh yeah, I worked a lot with a post doc at my uni who spent last year at KAUST doing MOF work. You guys do some pretty cool MOF stuff, I recall reading some nice papers out of there. But yeah I have heard there's a pretty high work ethic, very different from my uni :P Our labs wouldn't survive without spending Friday afternoons at the university bar on campus haha. But I guess you adapt to the different environment. Would sure be an interesting place, and getting paid is always a bonus!

    • @piranha031091
      @piranha031091 7 лет назад

      If you end up coming to KAUST, I'd be more than happy to meet and greet you!
      Maybe you'd want my personal e-mail if you have any questions about KAUST?
      (Also, who's that postdoc? Maybe I know him! If it's MOFs, I assume he worked with prof. Eddaoudi? I'm in the Kaust Catalysis Center, with prof. Basset.)

    • @ExtractionsAndIre
      @ExtractionsAndIre  7 лет назад

      Well it certainly makes the place more attractive, knowing there's at least one friendly face there! I'll certainly keep KAUST in mind in future, but for now yeah the focus is on getting a job here locally.
      Ah maybe I shouldn't name names, seeing as no-one at my uni knows what I do online but oh well, guy called Weibin. Yeah Eddaoudi, that rings a bell, fair certain it was

    Was just at ANSTO yesterday loved all of it due to having to eventually do it in my HSC.

    • @ExtractionsAndIre
      @ExtractionsAndIre  7 лет назад

      The Lucas heights reactor?? I've always wanted to go there!!

    • @hexomethyl5182
      @hexomethyl5182 7 лет назад

      Extractions&Ire Yeah my chemistry and physics class(I do all 3 sciences) both get to go as we have started year 12 now. Nuclear science is part of our syllabus for the HSC. We got to see the reactor via the remote control CCTV camera. Oh boy luckily I was wearing my school uniform as most of clothing probably has traces of peroxides and nitro amines, LOTS of AFP there but to stop terrorists and the "plane shredder" which is a steel beam cage ontop the OPAL reactor built after 9/11.

    • @ExtractionsAndIre
      @ExtractionsAndIre  7 лет назад

      Wow yeah, I'd imagine they'd be hardasses about security. They're blurred on Google maps (last time I checked) and any place that does that takes itself very seriously.
      But yeah man, super jealous, that's an awesome thing to get to do as part of year 12

    • @hexomethyl5182
      @hexomethyl5182 7 лет назад

      Yeah for chemistry we are studying one industrial isotope (cobalt-60) for silicon doping etc, and one medical isotope (technetium 99-m) for use a medical tracers. EDIT: These are all produced at ANSTO

    Now, let us hope that you are still on 'our' side, and that they cannot Blind you with PSI-ence to the point where you think that formulating chemtrails is a good idea...
    Come to think of it, how do you figure we need a synchrotron to produce X-radiation? fishy
