Thida Thavornseth

Thida Thavornseth is a biology topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Thida Thavornseth rather than just read about it. In short: Thida Thavornseth (Thai: ธิดา ถาวรเศรษฐ, RTGS: Thida Thawonset, Thai pronunciation: [tʰídaː tʰǎːwɔːnsèːt]; born January 25, 1944) is a Thai assistant professor, microbiologist, pharmacist, and political activist. She is a retired university lecturer.

Reference excerpt

Thida Thavornseth (Thai: ธิดา ถาวรเศรษฐ, RTGS: Thida Thawonset, Thai pronunciation: [tʰídaː tʰǎːwɔːnsèːt]; born January 25, 1944) is a Thai assistant professor, microbiologist, pharmacist, and political activist. She is a retired university lecturer. Since 2010 she has been the chairperson of the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), colloquially known as the "Red Shirts".

Life and political activism Thida Thavornseth was born in Surat Thani in Southern Thailand. She graduated from the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chulalongkorn University and is married to the physician Dr.Weng Tojirakarn, who shares her political activism. Thida participated in the pro-democracy uprising of October 1973, ending the military dictatorship, and the later leftist students protests in October 1976 that led to the Thammasat University massacre and a return to military rule. Both Thida and Weng then joined the illegal Communist Party of Thailand and fled to its camps in the jungle, hiding there for more than six years. In May 1992, she took part in the protests against the military-installed Prime Minister Suchinda Kraprayoon, which are now known as the Black May. Once a critic of ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, she joined the UDD, a political pressure group close to Thaksin, campaigning against the influence of the military and "royalist circles" following the 2006 coup d'état, against perceived injustice, and for a fundamental change of power structures in the Thai society. After the fierce "Red Shirts" protests from March to May 2010, which ultimately led to the bloody military crackdowns in April and May and the arrests of the most important UDD leaders including her husband, Thida became chairwoman of the "United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship" that December. Thida is considered a moderate, generally rejecting violence in favour of political action.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Thida Thavornseth

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Thida Thavornseth claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Thida Thavornseth before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Thida Thavornseth ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Thida Thavornseth

In research: Thida Thavornseth appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Thida Thavornseth in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Thida Thavornseth is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1944 births, 21st-century Thai educators, 21st-century Thai scientists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Thida Thavornseth outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
