Pretty disappointing that microbiologists and biologists are the same size, generally speaking.
Author-ized L.J.@revealingtoomuch now get ready for megabiologists
@ljwrites pretty sure SyFy pitted him against Giant Chemist in a movie of the week.
Steven Holland@revealingtoomuch similarly disappointed in macroecologists. Had high hopes.
@forktail We want to believe in miracles.
Alex Markley@revealingtoomuch Does this hold true moving in the other direction? What size are megabiologists? Gigabiologists?
@alex Unfathomable.
Partially Stochastic@revealingtoomuch Well microbiologists are the first to get downsized during budget cuts
@partiallystochastic One would think their size wouldn't be able to decrease any further... and yet.
SvenI think it's just a reference to the size of the departments at Universities.
Paul Church@revealingtoomuch my expectations about marine biologists turned out not to be accurate either
Nic Roland 
@paulchurch @revealingtoomuch I've not met any xenobiologists yet but I'm holding out hope...
AskPippa🇨🇦@revealingtoomuch And that all the exobiologists are local.
The Turtle@revealingtoomuch you have almost 7000 nanobiologists in your left ear alone. And they're all making over 100G.
@the_turtle This'll keep me up at night.
@revealingtoomuch just tell them to STFU.

hömmafor my blind friends who read this comment using a screenreader it must be a nightmare.
@kommaKucken Oops! So sorry😞.

when I first came here, I wasn’t aware of the great number of visually impaired people on Mastodon, but I quickly met some and started to follow them. There’s this great musician Andre Louis @freakyfwoof (aka Onj) for example. Or the Kitchen Bitches aka @pawpower (a deaf blind teacher with two female guide dogs). And many others. Reading their posts is fun and also made me so much more aware of their needs 🙂

Ian Douglas Scott@revealingtoomuch The microbiologist: an awkward kind of biologist for departments that *still* haven't upgraded to the modern high speed, reversible biologist-C.

This would imply the existence of macrobiologists.

@Enalys An enemy we are not prepared to face...

kira :3@revealingtoomuch microbiologists imply the existence of macr💥
Jeremy List@revealingtoomuch furthermore, my microbiologist brother is noticeably larger than most biologists.
@jeremy_list This is why we can't have nice things.
undead enby of the apocalypse@revealingtoomuch @jeremy_list omg a bunny pfp, looks like a lookalike of Skye, the bunny of @Satori

Adam Jacobs 🇺🇦@revealingtoomuch True, but wait until you find out what inorganic chemists are made of
NiftyLinks@statsguy @revealingtoomuch deep down in their bones, you mean?
@revealingtoomuch
Dr. Henry Pym studied biology.

@Woodswalked A conspiracy they don't want you to uncover. Be careful...
FvH 🦣@revealingtoomuch @wiase Related problem: Theoretical physicists have office space.
David JONES@revealingtoomuch would you be surprised to discover that Plant Scientists are, in fact, made of meat?
mathew@drj @revealingtoomuch I for one welcome our triffid scientist overlords.
@drj Not surprised. Just... disappointed.
@drj @revealingtoomuch plant scientists are actually Sylvari (the playable humanoid plants from guild wars 2) in disguise, if you squint at them hard enough you’ll realize they actually look like this
@enby_of_the_apocalypse @revealingtoomuch i hadn't heard of Guild Wars 2; it seems like a good game let down by poor kerning.
@drj @revealingtoomuch idk what kerning means. I love this game and think it’s really underrated.
@enby_of_the_apocalypse @revealingtoomuch kerning is modifying the space between particular letter pairs. In your Sylvari picture, in the word "WARS" in the top-right, there is slightly too much space between the W and the A. Better kerning would reduce this space and give a more even visual texture to the words.
@drj @revealingtoomuch ah, that. I just didn’t know the word for it. It does look kinda different to the fonts used for the game usually.
@drj @revealingtoomuch looks a lot better to me than that url in the picture of the Sylvari
@enby_of_the_apocalypse @revealingtoomuch yeah the wordmark looks good!
@revealingtoomuch We microbiologists just appear bigger because we have lenses in front of us you don't notice.
Ken Buchanan@revealingtoomuch Bergmann's Rule suggests that biologist populations who live closer to Earth's poles should be larger than those who live closer to the equator, but whether that correlates to the type of biology they study remains unclear.
More data is needed.
Kim@revealingtoomuch but microbiologists do it with culture and sensitivity.
James Ryan@revealingtoomuch I think they adopted a “one size fits all” approach to the discipline in order to avoid an ADA lawsuit…
Degrees of Freedom@revealingtoomuch Worse still, that's also true of microeconomists and macroeconomists.
