No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists “don’t know how to design an experiment.”

That’s just what physics does to your brain. They’re all like that.

yeah. the rest of this seems like serious grievances, but physicists saying dumb arrogant shit to other scientists about not being ‘real’ fields seems like blaming water for being wet.

Hey, not all of us! Physics was humbling in my experience. Had the exact opposite effect.

I did exceptionally well at a top physics university, and still felt stupid all the time.

It took getting my ass handed to me to wipe that veneer off my perceived awesomeness and realized I’m doing this cause I love it. Why would I think down on anyone else doing what they do cause they love it?

And I sure as hell came to realize that there’s people better at biology than I am at physics.

That said, lots of physics people are high on their own supply. So, not discounting the reality of physics dickheads that are in abundant supply.

I don’t know how it is in the USA, but here biologist graduates are mostly women, so I think the implication is that she was being called a biologist (who can’t design experiments) because she’s a woman
