No, but I'm proud of being a chemist.
Anyone who introduces themselves as a "scientist" is embarrassed to call their field by name. >Me? I'm a scientist. I work in a lab. >No, we don't do any experiments. >No, we don't run any tests. >We review statistical data, process it, analyze it, and generate new conclusions that we then publish. >No, we don't personally collect the data. >No, we don't write the surveys. >We analyze data. >What is the lab for? It has our computers. >Yes, I work from home most days.
Exactly this. "Scientist" is a generic term. If someone who got a BA in sociology can get an internship that is somehow called "a scientific opportunity," then we know the value of the word went down the toilet.
Other people who call themselves scientists: >Anthropologists >Meteorologists >Environmental science majors >Philosophers >People who use Excel ("data scientists") >Culinary "scientists" >History researchers (i.e., people who read books like everyone else does) >Archaeologists >Geologists, though they get somewhat of a pass >Anyone with a BA/AA >Anyone with a degree they had to google "Is [major] considered STEM"
Scientist is an easy catch all in biopharma. Makes you seem like less of a spergoid than referring to yourself as a "cell biologist" or "molecular geneticist" or in reality whatever Frankenstein's monster amalgamation of multiple fields that really construct your background and daily practice. And of course we do experiments, but the technician might fail to see that bigger picture.
I'd say surgeons are the only medical 'doctors' I respect b/c of the talent required. Regular ass doctors are charlatan technicians and don't deserve the title of doctor
what a fucking lonely life
imagine walking out of your office at the end of the day alone and realizing that nobody else is left in the building. Like going to high school in the middle of the summer when noone is there. lonely as shit existance, doesn't even bring you fame anymore
>If code-monkeys get to call themselves "software engineers" then I'm allowed to call myself a scientist.
No, but you're allowed to call yourself a shitpost engineer.
Biomedical scientist here, which is a protected title in the UK. No. Most of the time all I'm doing is writing shitty little powershell scripts which look through CSVs I pull off analysers to work out MoU and stats shit. Because I can do this pretty much all I do is Quality Control work. Genuinely thinking about going to work in a brewery.
I'm proud of abandoning my research career.
Academia is one of the few places where sweatshop labour style work conditions are still legal in the first world.

This is me but only because I'm only in the intro. Not that the theoretical is nonimlortant

Scientits are my mortal enemies.
Le 'Gigachad' looks like an inbred mongoloid with too much plastic surgery. Dr. Manhattan is where it's at.
He looks like a dude who participates in Smurf’s bukkake sessions.
Does being a heart surgeon make one a scientist considering how much they must know? Or are they just glorified plumbers?
no, they're a doctor (human body mechanic who specialized in hearts)
Mechanics know much more than doctors and machines rarely heal on their own.

We'll work on you
nudes where
I feel more like a burnt out lawyer than a scientist. I'm probably gonna take 50k out and go to grad school next year. I hate this shit.
But I'm not a scientist.

I am an mechanic but I could be an engineer in Canada if I was not so attached to liberty.
