I know CF is really difficult — the amount of drugs and care you need. I remember my friend having the to use a machine that shook their lungs and then helped draw out the mucus/phlegm. I live in Tokyo, but would be happy to help you get a gift card for a local grocery store if you need it? I’m just not too familiar how delivery or things are working in the UK.

Also, how are you doing mentally?

Hi /u/blueoriginsoftware,

I'm a young female at the University of Washington Seattle Campus studying CSE :).

I'm always scared of how the real world works when it comes to big challenges like this! I remember one of my professors saying a Russian (?) rocket failed miserably due to a 64-bit float being converted to 16-bit signed int, and of-course producing the wrong output for whatever API they were using.

Right now I'm interning, but I feel like I don't really do all too much other than basic tasks. I feel so far away from being able to do what I really want which is more simulation type stuff with physics. I'm awed by water simulations, heat simulations, some of the stuff I see from NASA with figuring wind turbulence, etc.

What would you suggest for someone like me who wants to do that to focus on in graduate school (Masters or PhD)? Or would just trying to get into the field directly be a bad option?

I went through an eating disorder growing up, and have been doing yoga as well : https://imgur.com/4mHpwhp! I'm glad your story is being shared worldwide!

I feel a large part of mine was being first generation Japanese-American. My parents would openly call me fat fairly often... and visiting Japan would reinforce that feeling.

Question: Do you struggle with any food related issues to this day (i.e. IBS or gagging feeling)?
