Any chance flights will get cheaper

I am traveling from Türkiye to the UK in the last week of September. In the past 2 days the ticket price increased almost 200$ !! Any chance it will go back to a more normal price?

I know flights get pricier as the date approaches but I didn’t know it could be this dramatic

Was there a Y1K scare?

What happened in the year 1000? Were there any myths or superstitions about what would happen at the turn of the millennium? And on a broader level, what percentage of people knew it was the year 1000 in the year 1000? When did humans agree on timekeeping and using the Georgian calendar?

Laptop for Master's advice

I am starting my MSc this October, and I have an average Dell (a bit laggy and the "Q" key doesn't work on the keyboard lol). My course is biomedical, so I will mostly be using my laptop to research, write essays, and some minor coding. I am new to the UK, so I will take my Dell with me to see if it holds up. If it doesn't, can I please have some laptop recommendations? Is a MacBook worth it? And where do you usually get your tech devices? What student discounts can I benefit from?

Thank you in advance and good luck!

Embryology career in the UK

I am starting my MSc in clinical embryology this October, and I am trying to figure out the next steps. Is it reasonable to start my career working in andrology or lab tech roles and then build a portfolio for more senior roles? Is it practically possible to become an embryologist without STP?
I would appreciate any advice
