I love biology. It's why I decided to go back to school and do a second degree. 100% worth it.

I would definitely not be going back to school. But I agree, it's fascinating.

Also, jobs like 'STI specialist' make me realize how boring my career choices have been ... I could've been the next Indiana Jones or Blathers, but instead I'm just a programmer.

I mean, as an Indiana Jones I'd be doing the same...

Environmental systems is cool when I’m learning things related to biology, geology and geography. Physics and math, on the other hand...

Physics sounds terrifying. But bless people who understand it, because I resort to two people with a good working knowledge of physics (both are engineers) when biochem is making my brain hurt.

I did ecology and a bit of paleoecology in university, does that count?

Yes, but you'd probably also be fighting socialist germans or communist russians over ancient cursed artefacts

There is a surprising amount of math and physics in biology. D: I like all three though

 

[Tinkeringbell]

Why are you sounding like that's a downside?

I need to get to ecology eventually (getting tough yucky stuff out of the way first) but yes it does!

its a bit of a nightmare. It’s basically more algebra with a cool concept as the background for the math problems.

Yeah I know but it’s still a pain. It’s good that I have a decent math mind tho

Can't spend money when you're dead! Also, how would you even get rich off the things you acquire? They belong in a museum

Museums do pay to acquire stuff, you know... I was born a few centuries late. If I was born in the 1800s I could've gone to Egypt, dug up some mummies, and sell them to be unwrapped at parties and powdered into medicine!

...urgh I know mummy brown is a thing but that doesn’t sound like a fun time

Depends on your definition of fun, I guess. If you don't know better, it might've been very fun!

Please do all my math for me!

I can't number. I just like the parts that don't involve math!

Mummy reveal parties sound like such a good time.

How much math would that be?

I love taxonomy, zoology and pretty much everything relating to geology! I took a history of the earth class and I’d have to say that was my favorite class that directly pertains to my major.

 

[Chris]

How much math would that be?

ALL OF IT. So, lots.

 

[Mick]

ALL OF IT. So, lots.

I don't know if I have time for that but I can try!

 

[Chris]

I don't know if I have time for that but I can try!

B-b-b-b-but math is hard.

 

[Seastar]

Hey, I don't like math either.

 

[Mick]

B-b-b-b-but math is hard.

I know. That's why it takes so much time to do.

Hey, I don't like math either.

Unrelated but yay, I see you're on a spaceship too, now!
