    If someone has a master of science or even bachelor of science degree, does that count as being sciency enough? What if they know the value of, and all the steps for, the scientific method? What if they even know many of the squigglier notations for maths?

      I have an associate’s degree from a community college that rebranded their “general studies” program to the “arts and sciences” program to fudge their numbers for a bigger STEM endowment, so… do I just wait for them at the airport, or what?

      I know more digits of pi than most people (in order, even!). I’m practically on a trans-atlantic flight already!

      I’m in a really bad mood right now, but “many of the squigglier notations for maths” almost made me smile, and I appreciate that.
