    I notice how geologists are not even in the conversation.

    It’s because we are all outside playing in the dirt.

      But how did the rocks you find TASTE?

      I’ve always appreciated that as a prior valid qualification method in field geology as a biologist.

      Licking our cultures, buffers, and samples tends to be frowned upon.

      Our geoscience department lords above lowly biopesants by 1 floor. We like to throw rotting fruit at them below us, while heckling “Culture deez nuts.”

        We once found a group of bio students on a field trip.

        We pranked up their van and took incriminating pictures.
