Pasta is supposed to be a scientist - it's a pity he wasn't able to respond to your question Mel.

Indeed!



Furthermore, if Pasta was in fact a scientist, this and undertook science units at a tertiary level at university, then he/she would or should have recalled the way they structure undergraduate science-based units.

Must have slipped his/her mind.

Science was my best subject at school and Uni, and whilst I have a number of 'vague' theories on this, I just cant seem to be able to find a credible source detailing why this phenomena occurs.

Yes, but you did Nursing, so the Science in Nursing isn't really science.

Nurses study biomedical sciences, physics, chemistry, biology, microbiology, pharmacology and anatomy, the same first and second year units those studying regular biomedical science degrees undertake as undergraduate students, eg, we sat in on lectures attended the same tutorials and completed the same exams as those studding, physio, medicine, pharmacology etc, the only difference being is we complete/finish our sciences in second year, whereas some of them continue on until either third or fourth year.

At USYD, they didn't specifically Taylor our science units to meet nurses criteria, rather we undertook the same units as everyone else studying biomedical sciences at a tertiary level.

Also, a few nursing students found they preferred actual science to nursing, so switched courses half way through, ie, started out completing a nursing degree and came out doctors, microbiologists, chemists etc.

Very versatile when you think about it, this way if you decide you don't really like nursing, at least your science units didn't go to waste, (you can put these units towards completing another degree) likewise with our behavioural science units ie psychology.

So yes, what nurses study at university, (well, the university of Sydney Cumberland campus anyway) is "real science" the only difference being is we stop at the end of second year, whereas other degrees sciences continue on until 3rd or 4th year, depending on their chosen degree.
They structure it this way so the units are interchangeable this and probably more cost effective faculty wise also.

So there you go Pasta, you learn something every day.

I do like how tailor can be misspelt as taylor.

It auto corrected, as you can see, it replaced it with a capitol letter also ...

How do we spell 'capitol' when it denotes to the first letter at the beginning of a sentence again Pasta?

Capitol -vrs- Capital ...any suggestions?

Sorry, I had no idea this thread was a spelling bee, as some of us made it past the 6th grade this and have better things to discuss.

Do try to keep up Pasta, even though you are trying your hardest to disrupt this thread and distract us from the apparent fact you claim to be a scientist, yet cant seem to be able to contribute much more than you have, of which is to have banally corrected my one typo.

Well admittedly since my background isn't in climatology, I prefer to leave that to those with education adn experience in that field.

Climatology is a multidiscipline area very few people succeed in mastering, the reason being is because it isn't science, it's Lysenkoism.

Highly politicised Junk science.

Meaning, this should be your area of speciality Pasta.

Any theories re- precipitation in association with temperature changes professor Pasta?

I am not asking for a precise science, or even scientific debate Pasta, just theories at this stage.

Theories in which you flat earthers grapple to when it suits your political agenda concerning global warming.

Nice try, but at least i'm not employing disruptive avoidance tactics by resorting to correcting peoples typos...lol

Would you like to try again Pasta?

No, I'm still on the sheer balls it takes to compare climatology with Lysenkoism.

One good theory deserves another.. dont even want to take a stab at it Pasta?

Well can I paraphrase Caral Sagan here?
