What's this board's problem with biology? Why do you dislike it so much?

There are people which are focused on people and their dogs. This regards the attentions of all aspects of their lives. 99% of women and 70% of men belong to this group. And there are people that entirely focus on objects (most Veeky Forums readers). Biology fascinates the former, physics an math the latter.

There is math, how the fuck do you think ecologists make predictions?

biophysics is mostly thermodynamics as well, there is a ton of math in biochem/biophysics at the graduate level. But most can just be outsourced, it's true many biologists dont like math or dont appreciate it on the level of the autists

Can confirm.

We don't get to see real stuff until you get at least in the 3º year(growth rates in as many flavours as you want, communities photosynthetic rates, underlying mechanisms of action potential in neurons and how do they compare between different taxons...) you get more systematic and model based aproachs.

This is something you start to notice around your 2º year when memorization stops being usefull and you are actually presented with problems to solve.

I have seen people struggling with Math I in my university and that course was composed of simple derivation and integration.

Many people that got into biology didn't made the cut for medicine or veterinary studies(wathever is called in the US) and had this idea that biology is just about knowing a lot about different taxons.

By the time they realize their mistake they grow resentfull of math, treating it like an intruder in their perfect idea of what biology should be and by the time they manage to pass they will use it but only if they have to.

But biology is an enormous field so they can actually find a niche that only requires basic chemistry knowledge and getting digested data from computers.

ill flat out say if you were premed or veterinary and only went into upper level biology (junior/senior level classes, or grad school) because of a failure to get into one of those programs, you're a moron. They are two completely different fields, all pre-meds i knew in undergrad didnt want to learn upper level concepts and all those that went to graduate school, myself included, never were pre-med or wanted to be involved in the medical field (except maybe on the research side). They're gonna be in for a very bad time.
but yea everything boils down to physics, which boils down to math. But im biophysics so that relationship is not only obvious, i see its application everyday

In my case, people who do biology in my country can still get a job in the medical sector or in veterinary so it's not absolutely retarded, if what you are looking for is working in hospitals contributing to healing people and they might get a chance to work with animals too, atlhough these jobs are scarce, and do not necesarily last for long at least they can say they got close.

Still somewhat retarded if you ask me, but in the end "wathever floats your boat"

I joined for celular cytology/microbiology so I never cared that much about those people anyway.

>celular cytology

Whups!

It even hurts my eyes

too many girls
