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.

...Does Bill Nye need more qualifications to be an effective science educator?

im not a scientist but my data points indicate that this meme fucking sucks

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 0 points 7 hours ago (8 children)

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.

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.

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 0 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

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.
