Dilbert is good. You're only jealous of Clott Adams because you're too low IQ to get rich by drawing cartoons. You've never developed a single good meme of your own, but Clott's memes live eternally in the heads of his many fans as well as his detractors, such as yourself

Dilbert cartoons might be the best depiction of the true reality of science in popular media

>>15912197
because they make the most money that way

>objective science
only exists in fairy tales, kid. real "science" is strictly created for political propaganda purposes.
they teach kids about the mythological "objective science" meme as a means of tricking them into later believing in the political propaganda.
they teach schoolchildren about journalistic ethics for the same reason. same story about the hypocritical oath, they're all just manipulative lies and trickery.

maybe they only trigger you because you're wrong and he is right

They "believe" whatever beliefs get them the most money and career advancement

>the credibility of the journal, the author, the methodology, the data
all of those have zero credibility

>Any materials science and engineering people here?
Yup, B.S. in Mater Sci, wish I got an M.S. before going to industry or a PhD but I like doing research and nobody respects BS degrees since they are so common.

>How to do I get into QC?
Why do you want to be in QC? Most QC jobs are paper pushers who basically make sure the data complies with standard requirements, methods and procedures are followed, and the company maintains its ISO9001/ISO17025/AS9100 certs. It's a boring and shitty job IMO but you can get a job as a QE anywhere so I guess that's a plus. The only cool part of QC is if you work NDT (RT is most useful, ET and UT are most difficult conceptually), good technical route but in most places it'll be repetitive in most labs. You'll have to maintain NAS410/SNT-TC-1A/ISO9712 certifications too if you go that route.

>I’m specializing in metallurgy, I think… looking for a low impact job with an ok salary… I’m bad at working in social settings.. I’d like to be a lab rat.
Metallurgy is the most universal specialty, decent job prospects. What do you mean by low impact job with ok salary? Also consider a bit where you want to live, industry is segmented by region.
Material Eng positions have a lot of variability to them, so big companies/the govt has materials labs, I'd look for those or PDs that have lots of hardness, tensile, chemistry testing and failure analysis. Some materials engineers will run heat treatment ops, casting houses, plate rolling mills, etc but they're halfway to management with lots of technicians under them. Also if you like travel some go out and audit suppliers in foreign countries and domestic suppliers, that's the opposite of a lab job and requires more social skills but you'll probably be compensated better in those jobs. When you get a job remember to max out the 401k match at a minimum, have a HDHP with an HSA(maxed out too) if you are in good health, and open up and contribute what you can to a Roth IRA.

>they hate data

>>15477150
thats the massively manipulated version of that data, its been so "corrected" by the sºyentists, in order to make it fit their models that is has no relationship to reality whatsoever. its absurd that ppl think that colorful psychedelic blob has any meaningfulness

>>15456506
>unprofessional sources
scientists who refuse to follow the scientific method are unprofessional, data manipulation and telling end of the world fairy tales are unprofessional

>uncited meme images
is there an index of meme citations somewhere that I haven't heard about?

>>15452366
there's no consequence for publishing falsehoods in journals, what do you expect the results of that to be?

>>15438807
nature will print any bullshit, its probably the worst scientific journal publisher out there

>>15427971

>>15244084
that one was from back when they were all hand drawn, picrel is the newer technologically crafted art, which is superior?

>he believes the government labeling on his food packaging
its just more marketing and advertising, none of it is true

if any research was published, one thing you can be sure of is that its fake and was published for its political propaganda uses

>>14885484
>a new science study with industry
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis
they published some contrived lies in order to justify getting more free money from the government

>mfw someone with a personal financial or emotional interest says they have data
