You need to act on your life-changing ideas.


Every once in a while, we all have those life-changing ideas that pop up like ‘I want to major in X topic’, ‘I want to become a writer’, ‘I want to start a business’, etc. that appears at one moment and never truly goes away. You should act on that.
Naturally, our minds come up with excuses about why it couldn’t work, debate probabilities in our mind, and think in terms of starting at point A—and the destination at point Z. The quicker you act and start planning, the better off you’ll be next year.
I started my social media journey and newsletter completely unknowing that I’d end up becoming one of the flagship creators focusing on making science knowledge more visible and struggles more visible.
So go on and do it! And don’t be afraid to use a few of my resources to help you along your academic journey.

Coming Soon: How to Understand Physics as a Science!
Because physics is the most fundamental science, its laws can be described using highly accurate and highly specific mathematical equations that map cleanly onto reality. However, most people struggle in introductory physics courses because it’s laws—such as Newton’s second law and conservation of momentum—are introduced as equations to solve problems before being properly understood and read as statements about nature.
And because most physics curriculums emphasize problem-solving before intuition, that leaves most students—even the best ones—unsure about what they’re calculating.
That’s why I’m building a guide which focuses on teaching physics intuitively as a science so that students can understand how to read equations as statements of nature and graph them so that they understand what to do when they run into a new practice problem.
Once you understand the science, you’ll never have to memorize a problem set again!

The hardest part about math isn’t the raw calculations: it’s understanding what the math means when rearranging and graphing functions. Most students aren’t trained to interpret the math from a qualitative perspective which is why many students who are ‘good at math’ struggle in introductory chemistry, physics, and engineering courses.
That’s why I’ve created the Ultimate Algebra Guide for Science & Engineering Majors which covers all of the relevant concepts from algebra, trigonometry, and precalculus courses that are applicable for science & engineering majors condensed into a 700+ page guide!
