Wow, you have a lot on this week and I thought my week was rough.
I hope all goes well for you this week and your exams.

Is the choice for specialisation in formulation science next year, what you are planning to do as a career path in pharmaceutics?
Jack of all trades, master of none.
Hence why i'm in all these different threads and boards.

Just another typical week for me, haha!
Thanks! ;D

Not sure if I'm going to answer your questions properly here, give me a shout if I don't :)
For pharmsci, we have a choice of 3 specialisations/majors (Drug Discovery Biology, Medicinal Chemistry, Formulation Science) from second year, semester 2 onwards (as the first 1.5 years is all core subjects) - of which I've chosen to go down the formulation science pathway (the most popular stream, from what I hear, haha). Typically this'll allow me to either a follow a path in the pharmaceutics/biotech industry as a formulator/pharmaceutical scientist (drugs or otherwise), or I can also undertake a research pathway- one of my 'formulation science' lecturers/my course director is one of these researchers, she has a pretty cool project going on that you can read about here :)

Cool, I'm also not surprised at it being the popular one considering formulation is where the industry is going now, unless that has changed in the last year or so.
Should I be concerned that you could be drugging me the next time I see you for "research" purposes XD?

Reasons to hate group assignments:
- I have 3 due this week, one due tomorrow :O
- I feel like I'm running around like a headless chook half the time
- So many group chats
- Little time to do any other uni work

Reasons to love group projects:
- Whipped cream
- They're nearly over
- Getting to know your group members better

Glad you asked!
Don't mind the audio in these videos, but here's what I meant by whipped cream:

It was fun!
Don't see how I'm adorable, but thanks E6P! ;D

I'm going to need some context for this.
Here's the context:
We had to come up with a delivery system for our group's "improved drug", so we chose to go for a spray foam. As we had to represent our chosen form, we settled on a can of whipped cream to represent our final product. Our presentation had to be creative, so we chose to do an infomercial, and I got the job of demonstrating the "product". ;D

The final video has been done, and it looks so good (although it is cheesy- which is the sole intention lol). ;D

We finally presented the final video, and that's a relief!
However, I have discovered that hayfever really truly sucks, and I can't take antihistamines, so I'm really struggling right now. 😂

It was a nice warm day otherwise! :)

Ahh, another victim has been struck with hayfever.
Have you tried eye drop and/or nasal spray as well?

I literally can't take any antihistamine product- tablets or otherwise haha :)
(Also added irony about tablets- I can't swallow them, and I'm doing pharmsci...)

Do you get adverse side effects from taking them?

Only if there was something that wouldn't give me any unwanted side effects haha
