    I notice how geologists are not even in the conversation.

    It’s because we are all outside playing in the dirt.

      But how did the rocks you find TASTE?

      I’ve always appreciated that as a prior valid qualification method in field geology as a biologist.

      Licking our cultures, buffers, and samples tends to be frowned upon.

        i mean we used to have mouth pipetting and DuPont chemists smoking in the lab and noticing the taste of their experiments on the cigs lol

          Yeah I had an old chemistry professor of mine would habitually turn his head sideways when working in the hood. Lol

        The worst ones are… radioactive, or asbestiform. So…

        Kyanite is harmless but nasty.

        We once found a group of bio students on a field trip.

        We pranked up their van and took incriminating pictures.

    Computer scientist here. I definitely do not think I’m better than a biologist.

        I was actually on track to becoming a biochemist before I changed to computer science

    Biology is just applied chemistry. Chemistry is just applied physics. Physics is just applied maths. Everything is maths.

      Not wrong at all, as true today as when it was first said.

    Computer scientists? Sure, maybe. But all four of us will join together to resent the engineers for designing systems around extrapolated power law fits and lack of rigor (and totally not because they are higher paid or anything).

    I care more about genetic manipulation than all the others, and I’m pretty sure that’s a branch of biology. So… Yeah. Bio #1.
