I'll be stealing that phrase, thank you very much. A little jealous that your mother has some scientific literacy, I've got Southern Baptists for parents. What I do professionally is pretty much magic to them. Yep. I disagree with 8-bit somewhat, I think well-roundedness is something we should all strive for. We live in a society hell-bent on developing a specialization, but if at all possible we shouldn't write off our flaws with "Oh, I was just never good with social skills", or whatever. If you're begging for funding or presenting a thesis whilst staring down at your shoes, things aren't gonna go well. Edit: I suppose I retain my title of Hubski's only physicist... Edit 2: Nevermind!scientist blackface
I don't know any successful scientists who exhibit any of that behavior. The only ones I've known who have were extremely unsuccessful.
I hope that's actually true, but I doubt it. On the other hand, it might explain the simple brilliance of Hubski's functionality... Edit: IS MY BIAS SHOWING?!?
I'm inferring that 2 people out of 5 have PhD's in physics? Which 2?
Honestly, I expected team Hubski to be solely web designers, coders, that sort of thing. I didn't mean anything by it. :)
You have called me out explicitly, although for some reason I wasn't notified via Hubski's HTML(?) mechanics. I concede that I am only a physicist in training! My professional title is officially "scientist". I work at a non-profit research center, but I am confined to (largely) engineering-focused work, due to the fact that I've only accrued a B.S. in physics. Spent 6 years between two universities, in between switching from engineering to physics, graduated with ~165 credit hours. Single major. I'm unfortunately well edjukated. Headed to graduate school in the fall of 2015. I'll be 28, and I got 50th percentile on the Physics GRE... not bad for an American who hardly studied! I can't wait to have my ass handed to me multiple times while I pursue my thesis and work under people worth 10x my reputation. What I consider truly important is that people I've worked with enjoy my contributions and my company. Anyone can say such a thing, but I smiled smugly while I typed that last sentence. Truly, I feel like such an elitist pig sometimes... until I look at my bank account and realize that if I was actually intelligent, I would have gone into business. ...Just kidding, fuck money worship and other facades that so many other Americans wrap around their psyches. I only want to contribute towards the knowledge-base of mankind, with my sole incentive being to brag about it on Hubski. :)
oky, I can't answer for am_Unition, but 'biologist' is a title that is often accepted as early as the beginning of grad school (and is an actual government/industrial job title, as well).
