I have lots of thick hair on my chin and neck (due to pcos) and I used to dermaplan once a month but the amount and growth speed of the facial hair has increased causing me to dermaplane every 5-7d which has increased my skin sensitivity. So I’m thinking of trying Braun bc I can’t afford laser or electrolysis yet. I’ve researched all the consequences but need some more advice of if I should do it or not.
Trying to decide between two thesis-based master’s opportunities in sustainability/environmental studies and would love some outside perspectives from people already working in the field.
Both are at the same university, both are research/thesis based, and both supervisors seem supportive and well-regarded.
Option A is more focused on applied sustainability implementation, climate strategy, institutional/corporate sustainability, municipal climate action, and sustainability decision-making. The work would involve topics like climate mitigation, sustainability governance, organizational/institutional systems, investment/finance-related sustainability decisions, and working with existing real-world partnerships/projects. It seems more implementation-oriented and tied to current ESG/net-zero/climate transition trends.
Option B is more focused on environmental governance, conservation, socio-ecological systems, coastal/marine sustainability issues, and emerging sustainability research areas. It would involve more governance/policy-oriented research around environmental and community impacts, and the project seems more flexible/open-ended intellectually. It also seems more connected to conservation and broader environmental systems thinking.
I’m trying to think realistically about long-term career stability and income, because both are of academic interest to me.
For people already working in sustainability/environmental fields:
ima girl in my 20s and need some advice. my parent always makes me feel im not pretty, always saying work on yourself, which is fine to be encouraging, good health but it is very appearance-focused. and today i was told: look at other girls and ask yourself why im not pretty like them, what are they doing to be skinny, etc. even using my friend as an example, im not even fat and im not even ugly and this just made me cry and i cant stop. im not sure how to take this.
