Reply. Experiments have shown that it is better to study before going to bed because memories are transferred from the brain's temporary memory system to a permanent memory system during sleep - and although we are not consciously aware of it, we can The brain repeats what is learned during sleep and picks out the memories that need to be transferred to permanent storage - but this process of repetition also strengthens the memories - instead of memorizing during the study. If you not only try to understand the ideas but also somehow connect them to the memories of the past, they are more likely to be remembered permanently - this is because the storage of memories in the brain is associative. That is, when we think of one thing, other things related to it also come to mind. If you are studying a new concept, try to relate it to an existing concept. An example that I remember was when our physics teacher in Matric told me that an electric bulb is filled with inert gas and at the same time told a joke. In which there was a mention of a woman running away. Now whenever the light bulb is mentioned, a joke about running away comes to mind and at the same time it is remembered that the bulb is filled with inert gas.
Now it is not necessary that you connect all the concepts of science with Bhag Bhari, but in any case, many people use the method of connecting the concepts with memories successfully.
Similarly, most people have a hard time remembering names, but if a person's name is attached to something (like the name of a runner with gas filled in a bulb), it becomes easier to remember people's names. For example, if this association is funny, it will be remembered for a long time. For example, if someone's name is Gul Rana and you associate that name with a rose, the name will probably be better remembered, but If you associate this name with the cabbage flower, it will surely be remembered for a long time
Science parody
Politics, fashion, business, economy, crime, weather, international relations, sports are all hot news. Science never comes to the front page and whatever news is found, there is very little science in it. There are usually three types of scientific headlines and each has its own set of problems.
📒 Chit strip headline
"Drinking coffee increases IQ", "Misbehavior has been linked to genetics", "Electricity can also cause allergies". "Scientists have found the best way to eat ice cream." (This is all real news)
Meaningless, to fill the space and to keep people's attention, headlines that introduce new discoveries in science that have nothing to do with science. Another example is the news that has graced many newspapers at one time.
"By the year 3000, the average human being will be six and a half feet tall, pale in color and 120 years old. There is good news about the size and attractiveness of specific organs. ”
Written by a political theorist for a tabloid, the article became science news, which major newspapers called new research in their science section.
📒 Health
We are most interested in science in these matters. This is more important to us than information from any other galaxy. Between 1935 and 1975, there were revolutionary advances in medical science. If tuberculosis had occurred earlier, it would have been a death knell. If it happened in the 70's, rifampicin and isonized would have to be taken for several months, which is a bit painful to take, but the disease could have lasted a long time. Not just medicine, the great revolutions of modern medicine took place in those decades. Kidney dialysis, transplants, CT scans, heart surgery and almost all the drugs we are familiar with, electric shocks to the chest that can bring death back, and victory over polio, which kills a large number of people. Used to cause Intensive care unit, which was started due to polio. The link between smoking and lung cancer. These are all relics of the revolution that took place in these four decades.
This golden age of new breakthroughs is over, medical research has not stopped at all. There has been a significant reduction in premature mortality but not a single dramatic breakthrough. Medical research is progressing through gradual improvement. Improved understanding of medicines, awareness of their benefits and risks, improvement in prescription and medical record methods, further refinement of surgical techniques, awareness of risk factors, public health program. This is not an eye-catching headline.
Where is the news? Dangerous and scary headlines because they get attention. Mercury filling headaches, fatigue, dizziness, etc. became news. A documentary entitled "Poison in the Mouth" was made and books were written. A large study was conducted on it, in which a controlled experiment was conducted on a thousand people over several years and concluded that it was wrong. How many newspapers made it safe? Their total number was zero.
Simple sentences
Many times journalists who report on science do not have a scientific background and do not understand the research themselves. Misleading news is common. However, some journalists believe that since readers are not familiar with science, science must be explained in simple sentences. A golden rule is that something should be presented in as simple a word as it can be, but no more. "Research has proven, scientists have warned, scientists have told today," he said. The problem is that the real story of science is usually in detail.

What is the main problem with science journalism? This problem is science itself. The way science works is not a good combination for the traditional way of journalism itself. It does not contain breaking news. The big news in journalism is what is out of the ordinary. If there is any observation, discovery or research in science that deviates completely from the preconceived notions, then it is very likely that the mistake will be this research.
All the evidence points to the fact that humans arrived in the Americas about fifteen thousand years ago. If any human remains are found that date back 5,000 years, this is not news. If any remains are found that date back to 50,000 years ago, this is breaking news. Most likely it will be a dating error.
All the evidence points to the fact that speeding through light is impossible. If there is any observation that the speed of neutrinos is faster than that, then it is breaking news. It is very likely that there will be a measurement error.
Many times these mistakes are caught soon after and many times after many years and being proved wrong does not become such news. Readers of breaking news often fail to correct such misconceptions. The news written on it remains in the record.

"Dr. Alice Silver has revealed that man is not a creature of the earth." The headline in the science fiction book was published in a British newspaper.
"Almonds, bitter gourd and cucumber cure cancer." This news was published in the most read newspaper in Pakistan.
📒 "Polio drops are being used to control the population in the Islamic world." The news was broken by a newspaper in northern Nigeria.
"The measles vaccine is linked to autism. The hepatitis B vaccine is a cause of neurological disease. ” These were separate campaigns for French and British journalism.
This science-fiction story gets a place in the media because it's interesting. They are flourishing.

Science is an incredible, ever-changing, incomprehensible thing, isolated from the world. This concept is the result of such reporting. Archimedes explained thousands of years ago why some things float on water, how levers work. It is just as applicable today. Newton's physics has always predicted and will continue to predict the movement of snooker balls. The basic claims of science have not changed in centuries. It's not like a changing fashion.
And science is not that difficult. Without adding spices, in common sense language, with fine facts, fine science written in fine detail ... People want to read it and are interested in it. Chit Patti, looking for it in the daily headlines is probably not the best way.
