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.

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

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

    Math is just simplified physics. Physics is just simplified chemistry. Chemistry is just simplified biology.

    Chemistry is just simplified biology.

    Eh, for organic, maybe. For inorganic not really. And all the crystal stuff is just physics we appropriated. And the rest of materials science is rightfully ours as well and one day we shall take it back from the engineers.

    Nonsense. An astrophysicist wouldn't be caught dead hanging out in public with their dealer and somebody who thinks counting past 1 is pointless.

    (/s but also shit talking is fun so pop off if this made your blood boil and you've got a witty retort)

    Be nice to the computer scientist! They wrote the program y'all space nerds can use to calculate orbital paths around your mom.

    (how's that lol)

    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.
