    I love the exchange, but the backdrop of capitalism demanding results is grim.

    I just want everyone to enjoy exploring and sharing without worrying about grants…

    I help elderly with their technology. A coworker does outreach for community events. We would both rather choke on a revolver than do the others job.

    This is my dunderhead comparison. Look mom I’m like the science people in the meme

    My wife and many of her friends are in medical fields, while myself and several of their spouses are in technical fields. We’ve had almost exactly the same exchanges.

      Even in medicine, there are big blind spots between specialties. My radiologist who did my wife’s sonogram was like “yeah I got into this because I fucking hate needles. If I wanted to go into nursing I’d need to use them a lot. So here I am, doing all of the non-invasive stuff instead.”

    measuring cell stress (literally how much you can deform a cell) as a factor that can influence its development is a bit of a hot crossover field in Physics and Biology atm

      I worked on that a bit! Never realized it had such a crossover potential. Also considering how physicists cant stand biologists and probably vice versa.
