Hello guys and gals. as an aspiring Somali physics student, I find that there is a shortage of Somalis in the "pure" scientific pathway. Are there any Somali Physicists or physics students On Ss and if so whats your specialisation. Also if you guys joined the workforce how is it?
Thx
Does Mathematics and Statistics Bsc count?
There is a shortage of Somalis pursuing Mathematics/hard sciences. Most Somali guys study Business, accounting and IT/computer science and most Somali girls study nursing, sociology, health and social care etc.
We need more scientists, engineers and doctors.
Pure sciences like Physics and Mathematics are fairly impractical in the job market. Those degrees are only a certification that you aren't stupid, but provide little to no applicable skills.
i study to become a medical physicists , my specialization is nuclear physicsHello guys and gals. as an aspiring Somali physics student, I find that there is a shortage of Somalis in the "pure" scientific pathway.

Cool, I actually haven't heard much about medical physicist but i know vaguely how radioactive isotopes are use to treat tumours etc. what year of uni are you in?i study to become a medical physicists , my specialization is nuclear physics
Ye lmao, I do a double degree so I can get a job but I was wondering if there are any pure scientists on SS.Pure sciences like Physics and Mathematics are fairly impractical in the job market. Those degrees are only a certification that you aren't stupid, but provide little to no applicable skills.
Ye I should've added maths etc in my post. I'm more focused on physicists tbh but pure mathematicians are welcomeDoes Mathematics and Statistics Bsc count?

its my second year nowCool, I actually haven't heard much about medical physicist but i know vaguely how radioactive isotopes are use to treat tumours etc. what year of uni are you in?
Are you still in school?I'm looking into computational physics
Looking into doing computer science with a minor in physics (still iffy about it all tho)
Are you still in school?
i took a gap year so I'm starting uni this sept , my university offers computer science with maths and physics i don't know whether to do Computer science in full or to do it with physics i do find the prospect of computational physics awesome but ..... i don't know if its worth it tbh so i'm still thinking about it i have emailed the uni and they said i have until mid August to decide between pure Cs and Cs with physics.
I think it would be worth it tbh. Computational models help us understand the universe to a higher extent, For example it was the use of computational models which lead to the idea of Dark Energy along with Dark Matter. Its also used greatly in developing formulas for simple chaotic systems allowing us to add to the chaos theory.Do you plan to work in Europe by any chance? I think there a lot of jobs over there.
That's great. Somalia always needs innovation, computer science would help major cities!.I wish you all the luck in your adventures walal.Yeah i'm aware of it importance , in fact it was computational physics that gave birth to modern day computer science , so the two would really compliment each other well , i'am planning on working in UK/Europe but temporarily , i do hope to go back home eventually but to gain experience in UK/Europe is the idea. I'll think about it further (salah-tul istakhara here i come!) .
I plan to implement my skills in Somali - weyn thus I was wondering if I could link up with someone who is in the same field as mine.I don't get it, so what if there's a shortage of Somalis in your field? Like how does that affect your prospects?
If you want to be successful its time to get comfortable with the idea of being the only minority in the room, forget about Somali.
