It will widen your horizon, they said. And here I was, foolishly thinking I could get away with half-assing statistics during my degree.
Whatever course you do in STEM, you don’t want to half-ass the first semester of calculus, linear algebra and statistics.
In fact, you probably want to go out of your way to actually learn linear algebra (because I’ve never seen anybody really learn it on the course, you need to apply it) and statistics (because you want to go deeper).

Some more lies from my time in academia:

I thought the punch line was that biostatistics is actual biology, and biology is statistics :)
