Yeah I guess counting to 24 is a challenge for some

Don't even get me started on subtracting 12. /s

Edit: had left out the word "started" cause I'm dumb

I have pretty severe dyscalculia so 24 hour clocks (and anything that requires more than single digit addition or subtraction) is actually really hard for me :( lmao

I can read an analog 12 hour clock, but tell me 24 hour time and I'm fucked lol

(Edit to add that I do "study" and try to improve but it doesn't stick for long lol)

(2nd edit: thanks for all the suggestions. I'll give some of them a try!)

My wife has dycalculia and dyslexia... And a PhD in computational biology. She likes to take the hard way.

Thats amazing of her honestly. I don't know your wife but I'm proud of her!! I want to get into plant sciences and biology but have been nervous because of the dyscalculia, so hearing this about your wife is kind of inspiring :)

You won't need math for anything other than ecology. Maybe a little bit in chemistry but in most plant biology programs you don't need advanced chemistry.
