  I mean at this point that would mean finding new bugs and das really it

  Well that and thinking of a fun name that doesn’t accidentally turn said bug into an endangered collector’s item because a bunch of weirdo nazis wamt da hitler Beatle

    Didn’t a new frog drop like less than a year ago? And green anacondas actually come in two flavours now? And didn’t we just find lactating amphibians??? Plus there’s like a whole thing about oceans.

    I mean, there are many biologists that spend a lot of time in the field. I know many who spend several months up to years in research stations for example. But hardly any of them try to find new species but rather try to understand the already described ones and their interactions better.

  I misread “organisms” as “orgasms” and wow does THAT really change the meme a bit!

    I’m always on the search for orgasms in the wild

  My respect for biologist vanished after I compared the posters the chemist had on their floor with the biologists’.

  Chemist: We found a new material that can replace the <can’t remember anymore> and cut carbon emissions in half.

  Biologists: Hey, we found a plant.

    I mean, a version of a biologist found penicillin by observing molds.

    As you might be aware, penicillin is, as the kids say “pretty dope”

      The guy who was too lazy to clean his dishes before he went on vacation isn’t the best example of a biologist. You know, Pasteur and Koch existed, too.

    Think of biologists as the people who were handed an absolutely massive book collection that was previously owned by a person who hated any kind of organization in the slightest. The biologists are going through the collection and identifying books, organizing them, and figuring out what’s written inside. Then medical researchers, material scientists, biomolecular engineers, and other people show up at the library and say “I’m looking for something that might be useful in my area of research” and the biology librarians say “we’ve found a few books over in this area that might be of interest, see what you can do with those and let us know if you think we should keep looking in that area.”

    The two fields are pretty inseparable at a certain level ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
