nose for newsi want to become a journalist which course should i pursue immediately after i complete my class xii this year could you guide me on the college and courses in journalism that i could opt for latertushar gill while you can pursue a bachelors in journalismmass communication and several universities do offer them it is certainly not the only route to a career in journalism in fact your graduation can be in any stream science commercehumanities and you can still make a career in journalism as long as you have good written communication skills and some of the personal attributes required to be a journalist nose for news work well under pressure unfazed by deadlines aggressive dont give up easily inquisitive and curious about things while doing your graduation try and intern with a local newspaper or even a magazine write for your college magazine setup a blog and also submit articles to publications after completing your graduation join a pg course in journalismmass communication where you will learn the basics and the rules and techniques in different types of journalism unravel dnai am a student of class xii i have taken physics chemistry math and biology because i love all of them i have heard of a field called biophysics could you tell me more about this arearitesh ahuja biophysics applies the principles of mathematics chemistry biology and physics to the study of living cells and organisms including structures and fine structures bioelectric phenomena radiation effects molecular behaviour photosynthesis membranes and modelling breakthroughs in unravelling the dna have made it possible to study the inner workings of biological systems with unprecedented precision to investigate how the brain processes and stores information how the heart pumps blood how muscles contract etc the goal of modern research in drug discovery is to develop drugs that act in a specific way with minimal side effects while being demonstrably better than the existing therapies conventional approaches of drug discovery end up being a long and expensive process hundreds of thousands of samples need to be screened before reaching some potential compounds with desired properties not just that it ends up taking dozens of years and millions of dollars however with the advances in protein structure determination structurebased drug design has emerged as a powerful and swifter tool to develop new drugs with specific properties and minimal side effects in structure based drug design the threedimensional structure of a drug target interacting with small molecules is used for drug discovery biophysicists work in universities industry medical centres research institutes and government the applications of biophysics are quite significant in biochemistry nanotechnology bioengineering and systems biology but its range of research is vast and includes topics such as structural biology or enzyme kinetics etc like any other field of research be prepared for extended studya phd and perhaps even postdoctoral research to make a headway in this field msc biophysics is offered at panjab university chandigarh all
