Who here studies science?

[BensonInABox]

I study engineering, which doesn't count

Who says it doesn't count!? We put science into practice!

Which field are you studying? I have a BSEE but am a Clinical Engineer by trade.

This is possibly the most impressive zombification I've ever seen.

Who dredged this up?

I earned my U. Cal. doctorate in 1976. My first research fellowship was as an undergrad in nuclear geochemistry. So was my
second. My third research fellowship was in nuclear geochemistry in graduate school. Just to break the pattern, my 1976 doctorate was in anthropology, my first industry job was as an analytical polymer chemist, and my first professorship was in medicine. One of the more popular seminars I led was on statistical analysis. I of course published in psychiatry. I also have publications in math models and topology (graph theory). I have published in geochemistry and biology.

Most of my science work was oriented to archaeology. I particularly enjoyed engaging students in active research programs. Dozens of my undergraduate, graduate, and post graduate students were first published as my co-authors.

Impressive!

I go to a magnet school for science & technology. Idk what I want to major in at college yet but probably CS or chemistry. I change my mind a lot about what I want to be. Tbh I have a lot of interests. Idk what I'll go with yet. I'm just a junior so it's OK that I don't know yet.

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Clinical Psychology about 30 years ago, does that count? ...
Now I'm one of those pesky creationists.

It is significant that you could get a BS and not understand science at all.

BS in Biology. Started as life science, which is heavy on chem, so I've got more of that than a typical biology major. Also took a could advanced physics classes as electives.

Got my masters in a nonscience field, but want to go for my PhD in biochem

I was a psychology major as an undergrad, then got an M.D. Followed by residency in internal medicine and board certification. 18 years of internal medicine practice, and then 18 years doing occupational medicine. Retired from practice this July. I was on staff at a major teaching hospital, and enjoyed working with medical students and residents. For 10 years I was also on my hospital's Ethics Committee, which was rewarding and very interesting. Though I am not a scientist, medicine is an applied science, so I consider myself a man of science.

BTW: It was through my Ethics Committee work that I discovered this forum. Our co-chairman was head of the hospital chaplain service. He recommended CF as one of the better on-line discussion boards--especially the E & M forums.

I don't think that's fair. His degree is in a completely unrelated field, and is about the softest science you can get. I wouldn't expect a psych major to be any better at the hard sciences than a history major.

Environmental science is the "softest" science? No no. It is the "hardest" science.

Thanks.

BA in psychology and philosophy. Currently postgraduate in clinical neuropsychology.

He said he had a BS in clinical psych, not environmental science.

EDIT: and physics is the hardest science... kinda

There's more where that came from...

Is botany a science, or a field of study?

Can one get a degree in botany?

I'm not sure exactly what botany is.

Botany is part of biology focusing on the study of plants, and you certainly can can a degree in it.

Okay, thank you!

 

[florida2]

Okay, thank you!

No worries

Zoology is the study of animals and is also a degree subject.

Botany is the science of plant life. It is a specific subset of biology.

Thank you, sir!
