    Hey my friends, I just wanted to have a really open and honest catch up with you since it’s been a little while ♥️ I had a lot of questions about why I left Gymshark and ended my sponsorship with them and I always want to stay honest with you all.

      @@Zizalaonfire I know this is old AF but: as someone who went to school for biology / environmental science (ended up switching my major in the last year, rip), we are taught that psychology is not a science. Neuroscience and psychiatry are, though.
      Not exactly sure why, but I think it has to do with the fact that definitions and testing of theories is pretty shaky. IE, you can test the chemical release/reactions to certain stimuli (neuroscience), but how do you test a vague, unquantifiable thing such as “happiness” or “sadness”?
      Not saying whether I agree with that assessment or not, but that’s generally the kind of argument scientists use.

      I think it also cycles back to what you studied in school. I only have bachelors level, for example, but both of my degrees are extremely science based and I helped on some research studies for experience to see if it was something I was interested in. If my degrees hadn’t been so science based I don’t think I would have the understanding I do, but because they were it instilled different values in me when it comes to research and information.

    • @natachaoceane

      I totally agree that we should be exposed to the scientific method in much more detail much, much earlier. I remember my biochemistry undergraduate programme didn't involve much direct analysis of literature and I'm lucky that I was publishing research outside of class so had to learn to be comfortable living amongst scientific journals and assessing their credibility early on. Otherwise I wouldn't have really learnt that until my PhD which is way too late if we want that way of thinking to be the norm. Thank you for watching!!
