When I worked for a large company, they flew our software development team from Seattle to their financial HQ to kick off a project rebuilding their internal expensing software. The receptionist called security on our lead developer because she thought he was a homeless person who got into the building.
I'm definitely 1 lol.

#4 is every biologist I’ve ever met

Am biologist, can confirm.
Best I saw so far were muddy rubber boots and muddy cargo pants.
Neurobiology is more like #2 and #3 and stand out among ecologist.Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
To be fair I’ve mostly hung out with the turtle and bird biologists. I fully expect the lab nerd guys to do #1 or #2. #3 is for villains and book authors.

My bio eco bestie is 3.

From left to right:
- Computer Science: Wunderkind who went into CS hoping to be the next Steve Jobs but ended up at Academia after figuring out how to get broadband speed data connections over shortwave radio. May be in the throws of a gender crisis, but who knows.
- Archeology and/or History: This man is an expert in Minoan history. He originally planned to go into Egyptology until he attended a lecture on the Thera Eruption and got hyper obsessed. Known for his eccentric dress sense, unless he’s on an archeological dig (in which case he dresses in overalls, doesn’t want to get his suits dirty). Openly gay. Believed Linear A might be a abugida.
- Economics and Gender Studies: You may think economics and gender studies are odd bedfellows, but this professor wrote a paper on the economics of transgender women in which she argued, with receipts, that transgender women effectively fall a whole class category when they transition and are where ciswomen were societally in the 1950s and is falling quickly. Her mail, both personal and professional, has to go through the mailroom of the medical department, because their mailroom is bombproofed due to pro-lifers sending them pipebombs, because she keeps getting death threats and even a pipebomb from anti-trans groups. Judith Butler and Abigail Thorne both cite her works on the regular. Her book on non-monitery economics is required reading.
- Mycology: Got into Mycology because of Terrance McKenna, stayed in Mycology because of Paul Stamets. Despite not working with psychedelic mushrooms, he is on several watchlists and has to add an extra three hours every time he goes international or flies. He managed to send a message from one end of a forest to the other, not only proving that fungi “talk” to each other but also how fast a message takes. Believes that studying Mycology also has engineering and political applications too. The latter is the reason why he keeps getting stopped at airport security. His essay on “Anarcho-Mycologism”, despite not advocating violence, is seen as threatening by most governments.

I love those descriptions! Really the funniest thing I read the last few days. Thank you!

Day four. Day one. Day two. Day three.

I was 1 most of the time, but my advisor was 4 so it worked.
No way I could pull off 3 with my build, I’d look like a super villain.

2 & 3 feel like the gendered versions of the same thing. We are missing tweed.

I’m a mix of “I tried to look serious with these clean pants, shoes, and coat” and “I’ll just put on my old Bad Religion t-shirt with it, no ones really cares anyway.”
Sergio@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
I’m a number 1 but plain black t-shirt and a button-up long-sleeved shirt that I only ever button if I have to fly somewhere.

… I must be very old school, out of touch, or just doing my own thing…
Because I would do corduroy pants and a tweed vest with elbow patches.
But then basically either totally cheap flats for shoes, or basically 1’s boots, but in whatever shade of brown leather works best with the jacket.
… I also now actually have a proper tobacco pipe, haven’t smoked in years, but that seems like it would work with that old kinda getup too.

Where’s oversized t-shirt and joggers guy?
Wren@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
I ran check-in for a few crypto-conventions. We’re missing full-body morph suits, dollar-sign sunglasses and proud boys uniforms.
abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
Ok but those weren’t academics though.
Wren@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
Have you met academics? Dollar signs was working on a PhD and at least one morph suit was in neurology, studying psilocybin.
