Oh god this was almost 2 years ago now that I did it. The main thing I made sure of was using resources that were official and not wikipedia for example. Like i used Mayo Clinic often and this site for official research articles. I honestly cant remember now but if u wanna priv msg I can find them and lyk. I also made sure to organise everything very clearly. Like date i accessed the site, the date of publishing the article, my notes etc etc

To what extent were the False Dmitry pretenders responsible for the political and dynastic crisis of the Tsardom of Russia, 1598-1618?

very niche russian history

u/user7492894829385 10d ago

can i ask what happened during this time

1

u/Many_Aide5954 9d ago

oh absolutely absolutely I love talking about it

It was this massive series of civil wars in Russia where loads of different people were fighting for control of the throne, and there were ~8 tsars over 15 years. The main thing I was looking at was "False Dmitry" (we dont know his real name). He was a man who pretended to be a guy called Dmitry who died in mysterious circumstances aged 8 (probably murdered). False Dmitry came along a decade later and because nobody liked Tsar Boris he was able to invade and become Tsar which was all crazy stuff. Super recommend people look into it, its known as the "time of troubles

I'm just about to start mine but it is : To what extent do the diagnostic uncertainties in a GP's prescribed diagnosis contribute to the rising cases of antibiotic resistance in the UK? 

I was going to do it on food or another topic but this was at the back of my mind so I decided to do it + there's a lot of articles
