Your background?

[TheReasoner]

I was wondering a little what background people here have, education wise. So, here's a poll.

By natural sciences I mean math, physics, chemistry, biology etc. Engineering qualifies I should think.

I listed my PhD as "NOT in natural sciences," but going by your list I guess it qualifies.

What is it in?

 

[Radagast]

What is it in?

Mathematics.

 

[TheReasoner]

Mathematics.

Well...

 

[Elendur]

Studying mathematics, aiming for a PhD but haven't even got my bachelor yet

 

[Radagast]

Well...

Oh yes, indeedy.

 

[Radagast]

Studying mathematics, aiming for a PhD but haven't even got my bachelor yet

Well, good luck and have fun.

gl hf!
I'm aiming for a phd myself. We'll see how it goes.

 

[Nabobalis]

I did an integrated masters degree in physics and am now doing a PhD in applied mathematics but it is actually a solar physics PhD.

 

[TemperateSeaIsland]

Did a PhD in organic synthesis with a dash of enzymology. Then did some work in drug discovery and some work looking at natural product synthesis. Currently working on biofuel production and fine chemical isolation from plants.

 

[sfs]

PhD in experimental particle physics; now a geneticist.

 

[TheReasoner]

There are more people with advanced degrees here than I expected. At least so far. Where are the creos on this though? I have my expectations with respect to that, but... Well, it will still be interesting if some of them post here.

How did that transition occur?

I suspect you're getting a sampling error from the "toot my horn effect"

 

[TheReasoner]

How did that transition occur?

Echoed! That sounds like a somewhat unlikely and quite interesting transition!

most likely. That's why I made it an anonymous poll. But I almost regret that as I get rather curious

Actually it was physicists that cracked the human genome, so I'm not sure that the transition is actually quite as unlikely as appears.

 

[elahmine]

Haven't graduated with a physics bachelors yet (working on it), but intend to eventually get a Ph.d. I'm thinking of adding a mathematics major, but I'm not sure if I can get enough financial aid. Either way I'll still graduate with a minor in it like every other physics major.

 

[Radagast]

Good luck to everyone working on a degree, and hope you enjoy getting it!

Any moment now, someone is going to say "PhDs can take a hike."

 

[TheReasoner]

Yeah. Well, it's not like it's a lot of work to get an advanced degree, is it?

 

[Radagast]

Yeah. Well, it's not like it's a lot of work to get an advanced degree, is it?

Well, I had a lot of fun, but yes, it's hard work.

By the way, I wonder if there are any advanced theology degrees in this community? They're hard work too. Guess we'll see.
