/lit/ - Literature

I'm getting real tired of supposedly literate people dismissing STEM people using the facile justification that we just have one-track minds and don't care about the hummanities.

I'm part of a club for grad studenyts and post docs where we get together every other week for beers and discuss philosophy of science, the place of the scientist in society, and the importance of having an appreciation for the history and purpose of our profession, among other things. Our meetings are well-attended and we get a loot of support from our professors who care about philosophy and ethics. Most of my colleagues are well-read and most have some sort of creative hobby such as painting, singing, or writing. It's clear that those of you who call us myopic and cloistered haven't taken the smallest effort to actually engage with scientists. You're posers.
