STEM Slander but the E is Silent

1988 Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman had to sell his medal to pay for medical bills.

I should delete this video bc it's a valid data point

[zockertwins]

The chemistry one is so accurate, you spend the whole semester doing labs and writing reports and are then expected to write exams

[sajanator]

Bro included statisticians and data scientists 😭. It's rare af

[blackhole]

There are only 2 unsolvable problems in computer science: projectors and printers😂

Omg, the professor fighting for lab space is so true. When I was doing my master's degree in engineering the two labs were filled with stuff because nobody wanted their spot to be stolen in case they needed it. The freaking seismic table is still occupied with the same structure for 20 yrs bruh but because the professor is internationally recognized and brings loads of cash they don't mind him letting his shit occupy the only seismic table so no professor can use it. I started my bachelor's degree and the structure standing on the seismic table was already seen as an old relic. 12 years after it's still fcking there.... I need to calm down bruh this is insane

The Tyson one is true. He always mocks philosophy, yet on a podcast, was trying to justify the multiverse through the existence of infinite numbers. Which is literally a philosophical argument, not an empirical one. I would also say that neither modern philosophers nor scientists are playing the game that they think they are. We need more collaboration, and less low blows at the other disciplines.

Psychology in a STEM video? Preposterous!

[nehemiah]

Statisticians hollering at a significant value is such a huge break from their nature (as I have observed), but so so so funny to imagine

Damn i wasent expecting the biology one to hit hard but he got me there.

Just because the second derivative with respect to time of my bank balance is 0, doesn't *necessarily* mean I don't have initially accumulated wealth or a high income.

I don't.

As someone who had to take organic chem in college, I can assure you that labs take wayyyy longer than studying for them. I had a team of 3 for a lab project and all we had to do was distill hexane from water. It took 8 hours total and the hexane was only 60% pure.

Scientist: Phenomenon changes just by trying to observe it.
Economist: You sure about that?

The biology one is...scarily true. I love all of science but one of the reasons I chose biology is because I'm good at memorization and bad at math. Still plenty of math in biology but much less than in tech, engineering, chemistry, etc

[pphehe]

Math majors are slept on. Had some friends in FANG with hard math

[badhermit]

It would appear that I’m the only mf in the known universe that enjoys (or at least tolerates) lab reports.

[gesugao]

the biologist version of madoka is when you suffer through statistic and data courses, almost failing twice just to emerge at the end and recommend R to bsc students

[Noam_.Menashe]

As a physicist p<0.05 could either be good or bad, but I don't think I'm yet at the level that it's good.

[swastikgrover]

The last one actually says the rate at which their salary increases is linear which is really good. Shoulda just put d$/dt

[schemingweasels]

The chemistry one hits really close to home, and I’m not even a chem major lol

[sharrpshooter]

Mans brings up a good point, why is it that all the STEM slander tells to only be engineering related? Legit I stopped watching them till this because of that
