Dolph lundgren the Science... Dungeon?
Curmudgeon?
Exponential in which variable?
What do you guys think is so special about a scientist.
They measure things and record data really well. They apply scientific principles and such.
They use lab equipment and usually have a very narrow scope on the things they are working on.
Do you think every scientist gets a nobel or something?
Scientist isn't a thing. It's like artist, a self-designation.
No, its a thing, people have the title "scientist." Its just a job, tho.

What kinda essentialism is this? Artist is also absolutely a job title. Sure, you can self-describe as well, but there are people that get paid to be an artist.

bill nye is not a scientist, and he never claimed to be one. He is a science communicator, a role he has done well for some time.
Same with Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
NDT is a pompous ass
Sure but watching him on nova when I was a kid is a big reason I got so into science and engineering so I don't really care

Neil does have a PhD. in astrophysics, however.
Neil regularly gets osmosis wrong and thinks it/distilled water can "suck minerals" from your body, something I was taught repeatedly in basic A&P, biology, and chemistry, that isnt true bc osmosis is the movement of water, not solutes.
