Why aren't you getting a PhD in pharmacology, Veeky Forums?

>5th highest-paying PhD, will probably rise higher after the field becomes undersaturated due to millennials falling for the "tech good, big pharma evil" meme
>save more lives than a physician while doing half the work
>interesting af field if you have even a slight interest in biology or chemistry (or physics if you want to specialize in pharmacokinetics)

Pic semi-related.

Pharmaceuticals is fun as shit, but I'm not sure what sub-field of pharmaceutical research I want to specialize in.

Will it get me suspended on twitter though

Probably nothing so obscure you can't get funding, but nothing that every pharmacologist
and their mother is working to cure either

What would would be a good Bsc and MA for this. I have AAA in maths, physics, and chemistry from 3 years ago. Thinking about going to uni in September.

Probably pharmacology, or molecular biology or something.

I'd say forget the MA and get a BSc in a biological science, focus on getting good research
experience, grades, GREs, and extracirriculars in about that order and go for the PhD.

Even if the extra 2-3 years of school sounds awful to you, it's worth it if it's funded.

I don't think it's moral to profit off of the sick, and don't want to spend my life in a lab.

anyone know any good pharmacology research papers?

>millennials falling for the "tech good, big pharma evil" meme

Just as predicted.
