      @@sammckaylin I might reach out with more specifics if I have them. :) I'm American, so, the application process to a UK school is completely different for me, haha. It's also pretty amazing how even the "elite" schools here in the US don't even compare in the sense of history and architectural grandeur to the "elite" schools over there. I went to Columbia for undergrad and Harvard for my Master's, and I thought I had seen some amazing campuses. But now I'm considering Cambridge for my Ph.D. and watching all these campus tours, it's mind-blowing just how beautiful and grand a place it is. I can just *feel* the history wrapped up in it.

    So OBVIOUSLY the Earth is round...clearly...people have been to space...but to play Devil's advocate, look at it the way the Flatheads did 150 or so years ago... Flat Earthers: "Look! All of the flags are all level with each other! *Anyone* can clearly SEE that with their own eyes! Proof that the world is flat!! And look, we can photograph it too!" Scientist: "Well yeah sure but what you can clearly seem with your own eyes is WRONG! See, um...atmospheric refraction! Yeah, if you do this complicated esoteric math it proves that you are wrong, and we are right...and also our esoteric math proves that the Earth is curved *exactly* as much as we say! Just trust us; you are dumb!" Flat Earther: Uh...okay...I guess...but how about you look through this telescope and you can *clearly* see the opposite shore, 23 miles away, which according to your claim of the size of the Earth and it's exact curvature, should be *impossible*! But it's NOT - you can *clearly* SEE IT with your OWN EYES!! How is this not all of the proof that you need!?!? Case closed" Scientists: "Ah, well, it's that refraction, you see! And, um, it was cold outside...or warm outside, either one will do! You just gotta do this special math, and *abracadabra*, the flatness you see just magically goes away!" I *know* that is NOT what's actually happening - but surely you can see how it might have *looked* that way...that you are saying not to trust their own *eyes*...but this extra math that the you are adding *skews* the results to exactly what *you* say that it should be...how convenient! Seems kinda fishy actually....

    do a levels matter less when youre applying for masters? because I noticed you got AAA which from what I understand is usually too low to get into cambridge at undergraduate. but obviously you did amazingly in your undergraduate, so that's more of the focus when evaluating masters applications?

    • @sammckaylin
      @sammckaylin 7 місяців тому

      Absolutely! Generally speaking all that matters with any application is the last thing you did. If your A-levels are poor and you have a low predicted grade then perhaps your application would be weaker but they tend to be able to stratify applicants just based on their undergraduate marks!

    I mean... It's gotten much better over time. I'd argue that the illustration you showed is more a result of low budget and lack of research. And it's old and scientifically outdated. Paleoart is MUCH less guesswork than you think. Even if a specimen has little physical evidence, that doesn't mean the art will look bad. Even now, we know so much about these creatures that it's hard to get them very wrong. Of course small details will be hard to pin down, like colors and soft tissues. But knowledge is increasing at an exponential rate. You're describing the state of paleoart in 1940.

    • @sammckaylin
      @sammckaylin 7 місяців тому

      Absolutely! It’s an interesting problem though and in many cases we still have to extrapolate from minimal data (which is of course *possible* given that you can often determine an animals niche from its feet and jaws). The image shown was also most definitely the worst I could find - other than the Crystal Palace dinosaurs! While a bit of a jibe this very much meant to highlight how skilled a job paleo art is!
