Hi everyone. I am using some of my summer free time to learn about new subjects in Edx, Coursera, watching TED talks, reading some interesting books to refresh my mind and trying to have some fun too. I would like to meet people like me that like that are curious and like to learn. I'm thinking about going to the US to study.

Come on, why nobody has answered me yet with 190 views? Don't you want to connect with other people that have the same interests as you?

Might not be too many people from Portugal on here. You would probably have better luck finding physics, math and science students at your local university. They might have a club or society you could join or follow.

Yes I know but the point is to meet students from other universities :)

Welcome to the forum.

You should read the forum rules. Bumping your own thread like you did in post #2 is a no-no.

The fact that people are signed up for this forum already SHOWS that they
want to connect with other people that have the same interests
. They demonstrated that by asking and answering specific science questions. If you are looking for social chit-chat, this is not a good forum for it but if you have specific science questions, this is a GREAT place. :smile:

oh sorry about it, I didn't knew it was impolite to bump in my own thread. I've been using the forum for about one year to help me in my study. Now that I am on vacation and have some free time, I would like to do a sort of cultural scientific exchange. Anyway, the invitation is still up to whoever may be interested! :)

Hi Tosh5457, I sent you a PM so we don't go offtopic here. I am studying at IST, Lisbon (I think it's written on my profile)..

Lisab, I bet you are a marine biologist/physicist. Gastronomically speaking my favorite fish is cod, but the ones that I like the most and whish they were in the aquarium are those squids and crabs from deep-sea gigantism. I also like dolphins because they are very smart.
 

FAQ: I'm a Portuguese physics student willing to know people like me

What inspired you to become a physics student?

As a child, I was always fascinated by how the world works and the laws that govern it. I was also intrigued by the mysteries of outer space and the potential for exploration. This curiosity eventually led me to pursue a career in physics.

What do you enjoy most about studying physics?

I love the challenge of solving complex problems and the satisfaction that comes with understanding the fundamental principles behind natural phenomena. I also enjoy the hands-on experiments and the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology.

What are some common misconceptions about physics?

One common misconception is that physics is only for geniuses or extremely gifted individuals. In reality, anyone can learn and understand the concepts of physics with dedication and hard work. Another misconception is that physics is only about theoretical concepts, when in fact it has many practical applications in our daily lives.

What advice do you have for aspiring physics students?

My advice would be to never give up, even when the concepts seem overwhelming. Take the time to really understand the fundamentals, as they will serve as the building blocks for more complex concepts. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions and seek help when needed.

How do you stay motivated in such a challenging field?

I find motivation in the fact that physics has the power to explain the world around us and has endless possibilities for discovery. I also surround myself with like-minded individuals and constantly remind myself of my goals and the impact I hope to make in the field.
