"You're taking a third year bio-chem course as an elective? Wow..."
lol
i had like a traumatic flashback when dave told his class to make flashcards of the amino acids and pkas
There are three stages of knowing amino acid structures:
Undergrads: Creating flash cards and memorising them.
PhD students: Printing them and sticking them to the wall of the lab.
Lecturers: Getting the undergrad students to draw them for you as a test.
This is hilarious. I wonder whether you guys are thinking of venturing into film production or a tele-serial on grad life. I bet it would be huge hit.
That Fourier Transform situation is very real...wow, you guys have some real experience.
+Shashank Katiyar God dam...I am so not going to a pure biology lab. So glad I've studied chemistry instead of biology. For keeners, fourier transform is a mathematical transformation that one should learn him/herself. The theory came before any application. It was pure mathematics
@@YoAddicts Fourier transform is actually used in signal conditioning in electrical engineering, particularly for frequency modulation and the production of complex harmonic signals from more basic ones.
Anyone who has mis-balanced a centrifuge knows that it is one of the scarier things you can do, owing to the cost of the machine.
Luckily, most high-speed centrifuges I know won't exceed 3000 RPM if misbalanced. Cause a misbalanced high-speed centrifuge at 200,000 g is definitely not funny
OMG students that find irrelevant stuff to obsess over... You guys nailed it. I TA for Freshman Physics.. I get asked all the time crap about general relativity and dark matter because the professor talked about it for a sentence or two. I'm like, "Why do you worry about Newton's Second Law for now? Since everyone just about failed that test..."
BTW I love Alex's hair.
j get that the students should focus on the test material since that's what they're paying for, but learning has no limits, why has that been lost in the institutionalized education system?
@@parepidemosproductions4741 ur right, but the thing is the teacher/TA might not really understand a lot of the extraneous material either
CrushOfSiel They’re asking you because they’re genuinely interested. You sound like such a prick. They’re going to you with this “crap” because the professor doesn’t want to talk to them. They’re forming an interest and relating their interest with physics. If you were a TA who actually earned their money, you’d get that. Your attitude sucks and reveals your immaturity; I’m sure that your professors didn’t treat you that way when you were first learning and asking questions.
@@parepidemosproductions4741 because asking questions about things like relativity before mastering the basics of physics is counter-productive. You wouldn't understand anything
@@aniketkesarkar9967 I hear you, but I think there is a way to do both without being counterproductive.... it's an art I guess
Oh My Gosh...I had a Student like that. The real training is figuring out how to answer without really answering ;)
Wow I am just like that student who asks bout crystallography. I will make sure to think one more time before asking those questions to my professors.
don't, keep asking until someone gets you an answer; and if you don't get one from someone, be that someone to answer it for someone in future by seeking out the answer for yourself (aka join research)
@@parepidemosproductions4741 if they do what you just said, they'll annoy the hell out of everyone and be stuck with a bad rep that will more or less last throughout their academic life..
@@mertgunes9854 Exactly. People need to stop expecting their 23yr old TAs to have answers in subjects they don't even study.
Wow this gave me anxiety for being a clueless undergrad just by watching. If only I had had my lab hours not cancelled last year I could've learned some things and not worry about that
As an undergrad in the lab, I relate to this immensely. I'm laughing my butt off. XD especially being intimidated by the expensive machines!
What are you up to these days? How did life turn out after undergrad?
@@Marcus-zx8su I currently work as a QC Chemist for a major corporation. Honestly not my ideal life situation, currently trying to switch career paths and find a career that I am passionate about. Presently, I'm delving into data science/data analysis type careers with eventual goal of finding a remote job so I can be with my two cats all the time.
Just saying, but Dave should become an actor, he would be famous lol I am researching researchers. I've been unsure of what I want to do, but this may be it 😍 ♡
This channel made a series 5 years ago and been gone since? wow
Okay--I do psych. I love how this actually still translates.
Same for mech.e
The guy who plays Dave looks like Ryan Renolds. I'm a PhD student, who TAs, but I'm also a qualified teacher and this is hilarious. I can totally relate to everything. Love it! Why am I discovering this 5 years late!
Elmo's World if I may ask, how well do TAs (particularly recent grad students) know undergrad material? It’s like remembering how to do prime factorization in 4th grade. You know it, but not too familiar with it. Is that a good analogy?
@@abdiahmed758 I guess it depends on the subject they get given to TA. I'm not familiar with the stuff I have to mark etc, but thankfully there is often a marking guide so it's not so bad. Some of the stuff coming up I have never even heard of so that will be fun!
Elmo's World I would assume that they are tasked to grade/teach in subjects that they are majoring in?
Haha I bet it will be fun!
@@abdiahmed758 it probably differs from uni to uni. I applied for 2 TAships but got given 2 completely different ones so there's no guarantee you'll get what you want lol.
Elmo's World that’s um...interesting lol
Gl TAing tho!
After completing a 45 minute tour of explaining every machine in the lab, "Any questions?"
Undergrad: "So why'd you come to this country to study?"
This is seriously so accurate lmfao
All these episodes activate my different anxieties I didn't know I had.
wow I really like these episodes, I am hooked!
Fourier Transforms are a way to relate time domain functions to frequency space functions. It's useful in communications, optics and a bunch of other stuff (in this case it would deal with X ray optics for crystallography).
Also spacedomain to wave numbers domain. It is kind like a change of variable
Great working with you guys! Excited to see the new one :)
hahaha i could not stop laughing because that being in a wrong class happened to me twice!
Awesome...pls add more episodes
How can they not know what Fourier Transform is!!!
+GabrielleduVent It is definitely in upper level biophysics and protein science though... They just chose a jargon most people know but not that familiar with.
hahahaha another reason why physics is better.
@@GabrielleduVent You learn it in physical chemistry
Wow, I just found this! This is great!!
14 undergrads dislike this video.
lol
I love this
Its good to know you are not alone in this world
FT is not excludeve to crystallography it has applications in spectrometry which is very important for the analysis of organic compuonds. 3rd year students should at least know that it exists.
Make flashcards? This is why I got my degree in Physics lol
I showed this to the grad students I work with and they laughed
LOL Ben is hilarious.
Man I love the intro music
Aah, reminds me of my summer internships where I had to do all the labour works for PhD folks in the lab!😭
If i had Dave as a TA i would definitely give you 5 stars, A+, 10/10, 100% and every other form of perfect i can imagine
A fourier transform maps from the time domain to the frequency domain, what's so hard to understand? This is first year engineering stuff.
En este video se ve por qué los PhDs de otros países, de verdad si saben dar clase...porq pagan sus becas del doctorado con la docencia! de ahí q no es lo mismo un Doctorado en USA dando clase, como el caso mío de España sin dar ni un min. Buen provecho!
hahaha so many times I showed up for the wrong GA duty or the wrong day or missed it entirely
HAHHAHAHAHAHHAA This is my life!!!
what kinda science students do not know what a Fourier transform is
i do biochemistry, its a piece of work, reading,cycles gashiiiii but interesting
Centrifuge situation is real yo
This reminds me of some idiot who was trying to take their 3d print out and ended up pulling the bed and cracking the glass in it lol like wtf
Makes no sense how undergrads could make one's transit more lengthy...
I like her hair
After watching the TV show NBC's "Community"
I have this fantasy about going to college and writing TV shows that take place around college or there students with different genres of stories. Do you think there should be more TV shows that take place in college/grad school because there's so many teen shows?
I have ideas for college shows. Comedies like "Victorious" or "Friends", action/fighting, mystery-drama, drama's like "the O.C". , suspense maybe like "Riverdale" or "Mr.Robot", sci-fi like "Roswell" or "Smallville" , and even rom-com stories👍
Lol
Fuck I dunno why youtube recommended this now but I’m seriously having PTSD
how do they not know what fourier transform is
what school is this
What did Dave say? First day and I have a "cleaner"?
"keener"
@@frustratedmel OMG! Thank you so much! :)
How old are the average Phd student?
varies greatly..mid-late 20's early 30's ish the majority
wow, professor killjoy over here (I get the point of this series and sadly, this seems to be more truthful than not. sad)
Theres a reason why physicists think biochem is dumbbbbbbbbb
FT LOL f**k yeah what a crap undergrad man !, My life is going to be like this man :( after 1.5 year !
Wondering how boring the video is, haha welcome to grad school. This does shitz real, it's goddamn boring
these are so bad
