molecular biologists rolling their eyes
And on a more serious note, considering how much of science is doing admin, attempting to get grants, and data science, almost every scientist is very, intimately familiar with maths.

My experiences have led me to believe the type of math someone is good at depends on their field (or what math they use regularly).
Some biologists are excellent statisticians, far better than me. I’ve also learned to never trust those same biologists with unit conversions that a chemist would consider incredibly simple.

Oh god, just imagining having to tweak the spectroscopy algorithms again in R has me whimpering.
