Thread 16809028

is anyone here an actual scientist or is everyone just larping ?

I’m a “professor of AI” at a “professional studies school”, so basically a hack, but indistinguishable from a real scientist in the eyes of most normies(they are the easiest to fool)

This is the science and math board not the scientist and mathematician board

Does data scientist count?

>is anyone here an actual scientist
Are you?

>>16809108
His question proves he's not. Your answer also proves you're not.

You are not a serious person.

>>16809028 (OP)
Yes.
Don't do it. Get a real job while you can.

>>16809115
>You are not a serious person.
But am I a scientist?

>>16809028 (OP)
I'm a phd candidate in a lab science, but I don't know if anyone really considers grad students to be scientists, more like scientists in training.

>>16809138
You could argue grad students are barely considered human.

>>16809028 (OP)
You're looking for soiencetists

>>16809143
Your opinion is utterly worthless to me Mr. 9 year postdoc

>>16809028 (OP)
I have an r&d position in my engineering field, and I've published scientific papers. So I guess I'm a scientist (though, an entirely unremarkable one).

>>16809028 (OP)
chemistry PhD and close to 10 years working in pharma
I have no idea why I come here

>>16809028 (OP)
I have an actual phd in physics but I quit academia after getting it.

>>16809028 (OP)
Define scientist.
Someone in academia publishing useless paper after useless paper?
Or somebody who performed a successful experiment and verified a hypotheses, nobody else had before?

im a geologist so no

>>16809187
Scientist is a job title. If you have an academic or aristocratic patron that pays you, you're a scientist.

no <- >>16809134

>>16809190
does my dad count?

>>16809213
Yes, your dad is a scientist but not you

>>16809213
If you get W2 or 1099 to pay taxes on. Or if you pay taxes in bussy, that might qualify in a trad evrope sense.

>>16809028 (OP)
I failed out of STEM in community college so now I just read pop-sci stuff + this board because im just a subhuman shitbrain.

>>16809187
Someone who does science
>i can use ai and be as good as a scientist
Now consider a scientist using ai

I do science.

>>16809028 (OP)
No, but I can identify a lot of bird species and solve a Rubik's cube really fast.

>>16809190
I have an academic position but I consider the Ivy League institution employing me to be a fraudulent diploma mill that is diluting the value of college degrees and only hiring me to mooch off of my credibility when marketing their 100k “masters” to students looking for easy student visas.

>>16809093
If you're not a scientist or mathematician, you shouldn't comment on the science and math board.

>>16809028 (OP)
I am a PhD in inorganic chemistry and come here once a year to shit on the chemistry Nobel prize for not being chemistry. But this year it's actually about chemistry so I'm lost on what to do

>>16809410
sir this is an anime forum

>>16809028 (OP)
PhD in physics, at an R2. Funny to see the PhD candidates in physics here with an ego the size of Jupiter spouting nonsense

>>16809028 (OP)
I'm a boring mechanic in normal life but physic is my hobby and i read books and listen to scientific lectures in my free time. For example, today at work i listened to a 7hour audiobook about how stars work, from preordial nuclesynthesys, gas clouds, fusion to supernova.
126IQ but no motivation to make anything out of it

schizos go here

I am a published mathematician and in each of my papers the first letters of some lines somewhere spell out "nigger"

>>16809031
basically this

I am a semiotician

I'm a postdoc at a major research hospital with a PhD from a top 10 university, so yeah I guess. I probably won't be for much longer though because my boss and I are good at coming up with RNA technologies but bad at the funding and publishing meta..

>>16809031
>professional studies school
The European kind of second-rate college?

I am. But I never post in my area of expertise.

>>16809410
I’m a pseud that comes here to stir shit up.

>>16810181
Journals don't reflow the text of your papers to fit their format?

>>16809028 (OP)
I am just a tech. I do get to play with cool equipment every day though, so that makes me happy.

>>16809028 (OP)
I've been a chemist, a biochemist and a computational biologist. Science is a scam, I'm firmly moving over to tech.
Leave science to the independently wealthy who don't need to actually earn a decent income, like it has historically been.

I correct it in the proofing process

I larp, but seems like i know much more than those who don't. But these clueless people are usually Americans and their education is as shit as water is dirty in africa

>>16809028 (OP)
No, I just trust The Science and have faith in it

i like to think of myself as smart

>>16809184
I like your dinosaur

>>16810181
There is no fucking way this is real

>>16809418
It's a nothingburger. Nothing ever happens. Also you should have done a PhD in real chemistry (organic)

>>16809028 (OP)
I have a PhD (Pimpin hoes Degree)
