I have an M.Pharm in Pharmaceutics, and recently I’ve started developing a strong interest in statistics and quantitative methods.

My academic background is primarily in pharmaceutics, so I’m still relatively new to statistics. I started learning statistical concepts through YouTube, Reddit, and online resources, and I’ve become increasingly interested in understanding not just how to use statistical tests, but how statistics can actually be used to solve real problems in pharmaceutical research.

During my M.Pharm work, I have already had some exposure to statistical methods. For example, I have used Design of Experiments (DoE) for formulation optimization and statistical approaches for evaluating/validating pharmaceutical formulations and processes.

However, I don't want my statistical knowledge to remain limited to things like “which statistical test should I use for this dataset?” I’m interested in going deeper and eventually using statistics/computational methods as a tool for pharmaceutics research, formulation development, drug delivery, and potentially drug discovery.

I’m currently thinking about pursuing a PhD in Pharmaceutics/Pharmaceutical Research, and I would ideally like my PhD to remain strongly rooted in experimental pharmaceutics while incorporating meaningful statistical or computational components.

For example, I’m curious about areas such as:

DoE and QbD for formulation and process optimization

Statistical modelling of drug release and dissolution

Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modelling

Predictive modelling for formulation development

Machine learning/AI in drug delivery or formulation development

Biostatistics applied to pharmaceutical experiments

Multivariate analysis and process monitoring

Process analytical technology (PAT) and data-driven manufacturing

Stability modelling and shelf-life prediction

Statistical approaches to drug discovery and development

Population-based modelling or PBPK

Using experimental data + computational models to guide formulation development

I’m particularly interested in the idea of having a 75%+ pharmaceutics/experimental component, while using statistics/computational methods as a powerful supporting component rather than completely moving into a pure computer science or mathematics PhD..

Give me your insights please

I am a PG pharma student , my course is almost completed and I vacated my hostel room long back.

But I need a 15 day stay until my thesis presentation in affordable price.

Help me with understanding what is null hypothesis

I am interested in learning the history of Dravidian Movement,their articles and especially works of periyar.

I heard there's one periyar padipagam in ariyankuppam area.

How to approach them?

Is there any like minded people?

I am looking for spritual places to explore.

I already know sennimalai and thindal murugan temple. Is there any other spritual places I need to visit?

I am a student and i am looking for a minimum budget stay for a month. I am studying in vivekananda college, tiruchengode.

i just spent five minutes earlier today staring at a screen, completely paralyzed by an action that actually succeeded.

I clicked a primary action button. The interface didn't break. No red error message. But the button didn't change state, either. No loading spinner, no toast, no subtle checkmark. It just sat there looking exactly like it did before I clicked.

i know how modern web apps work. I know auto-save is a thing. I know optimistic UI is the standard. But my brain absolutely refused to believe the system actually did anything.

I was debugging a tiny save-state issue on menuforma this afternoon, and I literally caught myself opening Chrome DevTools to check the network tab just to see if the 200 OK payload went through. That’s how little I trusted our own quiet success. I helped design the damn logic, and I still needed to inspect the backend response just to feel safe closing the tab.

it hit me that we do this to our users every day. We build these incredibly quiet, optimized flows, and then wonder why people act so paranoid.

As an industry we spend so much time obsessing over error states. We make sure the red text is accessible, the warning icons are clear, and the recovery paths make sense. When an action fails, you know exactly where you stand: 'okay, it didn't work, here is what to do next.'

But when something succeeds? A lot of modern interfaces just give you crickets.

we've got so obsessed with 'frictionless' design and zero-latency performance that we strip away the visual proof of success.

But ambiguous success is actually worse than a clear error. An error gives you a next step. A silent success just throws you into the void. It forces the mental load back onto the user to figure out if they can safely close the tab, or if they need to mash the button three more times just to be sure.

Apparently, my brain just desperatley needs cognitive closure. When an interface doesn't give us some kind of physical 'thud', that loop stays open. It just feels unfinished.

its why people still obsessively press Ctrl+S in Google Docs (which we all do, let's be real) even though it saves every keystroke. We don't trust things we can't see or feel.

I’m starting to think a 300ms placebo loading spinner or a completely useless 'Saved' checkmark does more for peace of mind than the most perfectly optimized backend in the world.

We aren't designing for servers. We're designing for anxious humans who just need a little proof that the machine actually heard them.

When can I reapply for bio medical course exam?

In saiva siddhantham, there are 36 tattwas which categorised into :

1. Athma tattwas(24)

2. Vidhya tattwas (7)

3. Siva tattwas(5)

Total = 24 + 7 + 5 = 36

I was about to complete my masters in pharmacy. I am very much interested in doing an interdisciplinary projects in future(ML + drug discovery/statistics).

I managed to learn basics of python by myself from free courses online and some libraries like pillow , openCV basics. But i want to get exposure on how scholars solve real life problem using AI/ML.

Do let me know if I can do any intern and how do I need to approach for internship. It would be more than helpful ❤️

Kaalai vanakkam anna and akkas , thambis and paapas.

I have been brought up getting exposed to saiva tirumurais and other saiva canonical texts like tiruppugazh , pamban swamigal songs.

Until my schooling i got to have a good score in tamil. But that doesn't help me with understanding literature tamil. While reading thevaram and listening to lectures on thevaram i couldn't grasp the meaning.

I have questions like :

1. What is the purpose of yaapu(யாப்பு)

2. Why can't the authors of thevaram write urai nadai(உரை நடை) instead of seyyul(செய்யுள்)

3. How to understand "சீர் பிரித்தல்" in tirumurais. Like why a word is splitted into 2 and added to before word or the word which comes after. It's difficult to understand.

4. Also I am struggling to understand the porul(பொருள்) of words. Do I need to use agarathi?

I don't have any tamil teachers to teach me formally but i have all these questions in my mind and please shower your insights and answers.

நன்றி❤️

what are the regulations I need to follow to manufacture a FSSAI complying product.

I heard for FSSAI we need to produce COA just once in six month and i think FSSAI unit doesn't need area qualification to be done like in pharma.

I have a lot of doubts, your insights would be more than useful for my career.

Thanks in advance.

I need a table top pulverizer and ribbon blender with SS grade for my startup

I am looking for affordable pulverizer and ribbon blender for my startup idea.

I read that tholkappiyam have rules for adopt words from other language, can you elaborate about that.

Souls are eternal but not identical to siva.

Souls are already obscured by ANAVA MALA.

The world is manifested by siva to let the soul gain knowledge through experience , to mature spritually and to receive moksha at last by siva's grace.

So, siva gave this world , enjoyments , body and tools to experience the field and to go near him.
