/sci/, i'm really interested in neurosci, especially demyelinating diseases (CIDP and alzheimer's, specifically). for the sake of job security, i was thinking of minoring in biomedical engineering.
is this a wise choice? will scientists 20-30 years from now be able to focus on just the physical without knowledge of the digital, or should i get a headstart and be as adaptable to change as i can?
also, is python's future as the language for systems-integrated platforms a meme? is there any prodigal son out there who will be THE language for neural engineering or no?
this is an open topic, not an /adv/ thread
Major in comp sci then minor in neuroscience. Develop AI
Like do you have to be a neurosurgeon to study neuro science?
Its mandatory i guess i mean you need to know brain very well to begin with

i have no idea but please continue to do research in alzheimer's
i really want a cure for it in the next 30 years. my grandma had it and it seems like my dad's siblings are already starting to come down with something
im scared that my dad will get it too
and that i will get it too
please
find the cure

>Like do you have to be a neurosurgeon to study neuro science?
What? If you're talking about the bio side of neurosci, you can get there with any bio degree and appropriate masters or PhD, or an MD and a PhD.

i will do my best, anon. based on research trends, in the next ~15 years we'll have a hypothesis we can all rally behind. i'm betting on the misfolded tau protein hypothesis, but once a consensus is reached, we should develop treatment (hopefully a cure) not too long afterwards.
hang on, we're almost onto something big.

microsoft seems to have that covered
