/sci/ - Science & Math

I fucking love that show

>>7254738
UNDERAGE B9

I HAVE 6 PHDS IN PHYSICS

I'M CRRENTLY DOING LAB TECHNICIAN FOR ELON SUUSKING TWUCE FOIR ENGINEERER

>>7254738
I did a PhD in Pure Math focusing on Advanced Autistic Triple Integration theory.

Give me a few months and I could post my dissertation, but I don't have the PhD yet. For what I have, I could, if pressed and willing to tell you fucks who I am prove that I at least have an undergraduate degree in physics from 6 years ago and have published papers as recently as this year. As for my actual "degree" (that thing you put in a frame and hang somewhere), I have no idea where that piece of paper went. I think it is at my parents house.

>>7254763
All I want (or need, rather) to see is the piece of paper with redacted names and maybe a timestamp.

Unlike you /sci/ nerds, I planned for the future and got an MBA from ITT Tech.

>>7254770
Yeah, no idea where that is and it is only my BS anyways. I can post the rolled up IOUs they gave use when we walked across stage though.

>>7254763
>I have several published papers
>oh by the way, I'm not listed as a graduate student anywhere

>>7254738
/sci/ is too smart to waste their time on a degree

>>7254782
>which I won't show
I know this is a joke (maybe) but come on..

>>7254788
You are free to not beleve me. I suppose I could post the departments grad staff page to prove that I am enrolled in a graduate program at least. But that still involves giving out more information thatn I would like.

Give me 1 month and I'll post my applied math degree

Although that's not saying much, anyone can do this shit

>still zero replies
because everyone is a fucking liar

>>7254738
I dont have a degree

>>7254738
>Giving your real-world identity

Even though /sci/ isn't /b/-tier, it's still 4chan, and I'd like to think most people here aren't completely retarded.

>>7254889
>Giving real world identity by posting a piece of paper thousands of other people have also been awarded with the name blocked out.
I know this is 4chan but damn, stop being retarded.

>>7254770
I've posted a pic of my BS diploma on /sci/ before.
Why should I post it again?
We're all anonymous here, trust ideas not "experts"

>>7254933
So you prove you can't post it now.

>>7254738
>waits for touted degree from khan academy

>>7255141
do you know what the word prove means?

>>7254800
Why even post on a thread about showing proof then

>>7254738
why dont you post one of your masters? :^) oh wait

>>7254738
Ive got an M.Sc. in Nanotech and a PhD. in Chemical Engineering.

I honestly couldn't be bothered posting 'proof' to an anonymous image board full of shitposting highschool kids tho.

In fact, I am only responding to this thread to point out how it is a classic example of shitposting. Nothing of scientific merit is being discussed here, by any means.

OP is cancer.

>>7254738

I'm sure as hell not going to post any "proof" of my degree or of my status as a grad student.

I doubled in chemistry and molecular/cellular biology, then took off a few years, now in a biochemistry/biophysics PhD program. I'll give advice to undergrads majoring in chemistry or biochemistry or molecular/cellular biology, on research, coursework, grad school, job prospects, gap years, etc. I've been down that road, so anyone who reads my posts can tell I'm not full of shit. Likewise, I can tell if any other poster is bullshitting.

>>7254738
The problem with posting time stamped degrees is that I will inevitably get tracked down or I will get a call from someone I already know calling me a jackass for needing to post my degree to prove a point on 4chan.

Also a few guys have posted MIT physics degrees, which I could repost if you really want.

>>7254738
>Implying degrees actually mean anything

>>7255176
Difference is, I don't claim to have one.

>>7255216
>OP calls out sci for being lying pieces of shit
>I could rectify his and every who doubt's beliefs by posting a picture
>I'm not going to do it though, and will make a baseless claim on my achievements without proof anyway
You saying you have any degree and me saying the moon will fall into earth in 7 days hold the same backing since both have the same amount of evidence supporting such claims.

>>7255325
>>7255216
>Op says everyone is a liar
>Better further support his claims.
>>7255327
>Getting tracked down for having a degree in which vital information like name and date are redacted
Just needs a timestamp brah, that or just being original in general

>>7255368
If I cross out my name and the date that would still narrow it down to 14 people on my Masters and everyone would already know who my supervisor is. It would be 1 when I finish my PhD.

Maybe if I cross out my university and the date it will be a few thousand, but then you'll people bitching that you might as well have gotten on online/third world degree.

>>7255382
nanotech/chem eng fag here. This. Ive already told you dumb faggots enough to narrow the field down considerably.. and whats the point of posting photos anyhow in this modern age of photoshop??

So that OP can feel rest assured that not everybody here is a faggot?

It is obvious to any long time lurker with even a modicum of education, that there in fact many posters who hold high degrees in science on this board. "Proving" a few of them exist wont do shit about the shitposting ratio, however.

>>7255368
>that logic fail
you might want to first prove that I am lying before you call me a liar. chances are, im actually in the second set. You know, the set of people who are telling the truth about their education.

>>7255382
>>7255395
>we can't provide proof because we don't have it
Otherwise, would blocking out all or part of your major help at all? If so, post that shit.

>>7255401
I'm not the one who needs to provide evidence that you're not providing evidence, considering you're doing a good job of that yourself already.

>>7255395
Why did you pick your masters to say "nanotech", just go with "Chemical Engineering (Material Science)", you just look like a tool who wanted everyone to see your research was nanoscale, which any real scientist knows is not a separate field.

>>7255368
>Op says everyone is a liar
>Better further support his claims.

Not necessarily. I think most /sci/ posters come here as 18- and 19-year-olds who passed multivariable calc and physics I, and are now convinced that they'll do PhDs in high energy particle theory, and that everyone who doesn't is not doing science.

But, there's a decent amount of undergrads in the life sciences and who want to go to biomedical research who post here, so I can help out. As I said, I've been there and done that, so I can offer advice. When people make loaded, blanket statements like, "You can't do anything with a degree in biology" or "The job market for chemistry majors is shit", I can call bullshit. Not to say that you'll be getting six-figure offers from industry -- or, any offers from industry to be RA just out of undegrad, for that matter -- but if you play your cards right, you'll be able to put yourself in a very good position (it may take a few more years, though).

>>7255382

Sure, that's the issue with posting proof. I was one of a few kids who studied chem and mol/cell bio, at a small college. (I realize no one gives a shit about undergrad prestige, but my point is that I wouldn't be too difficult to find.) I'm now in a grad program that has ~30 students total, with 8 in my year. A quick Google search of my majors and my undergrad --> grad school combo would easily turn up my name; even if I blurred out my name, I would be very easy to find. And, like this guy says, if I cross out my school and date, then everyone would bitch and moan about how I'm full of shit.

>>7255407
Well he's a lying piece of shit anyway so why not go further with it?

I have 17 doctorates degrees from 8 countries including from schools like Harvard, Yale, MIT, Caltech, Oxford, and other schools that are very cool but you probably never heard about. All of these degrees are in different fields relating to thermonuclear astrophysical microbiochemitechnology.

>>7255430
>Not to say that you'll be getting six-figure offers from industry
Honestly you can't really raise a family on less, so the job market IS "shit".

>>7255407
because my masters degree physically says 'master of science: nanotechnology' on it.

and for the record, only a giant douche bothers to list his M.Sc. after he lists his PhD. In STEM, a masters degree is like one of those little birth certificates with your baby feet stamped in ink on them. Cute, but basically worthless.

>>7255404
wow, you still fail at logic, and even harder this time.

i make the claim (unproven) that I have a degree. i resolutely refuse to prove this claim.

this means I am either lying, OR telling the truth.

Now if you want to call me a liar, you do actually have to prove it if you want a leg to stand on. Otherwise, you can just say 'well he is maybe a liar' or even, assuming a-priori knowledge about the number of liars on /sci (something that is also assumed and not proven in this thread), that 'he is most likely a liar'.

its not that hard, kid.

>>7255476
>getting in a logical battle with someone on the basis that I have zero proof to support my claim of having a degree
You're making yourself look bad sir.

>>7255478

>>7255468
>'master of science: nanotechnology'
What kind of joke school do you attend where they thought this was a good idea?

>, only a giant douche bothers to list his M.Sc. after he lists his PhD.
You need to list all your degrees on your CV, the employers need it for legal reasons, especially your bachelors.

>>7255478
Clearly, if a woman denies being a witch, but cannot/will not prove it, she should be burnt at the stake. This way we will protect innocent christian souls from corruption.

>>7255476
This is the equivalent of someone claiming the earth is round. You counter that claim. Instead of providing evidence supporting your claim that the earth is flat, however, you simply say he has to believe you because you're either right or wrong. Because of this, his initial assumption is true, and the earth will still widely be considered round.

>>7255486
on my CV yes. Which I send out as a private communication maybe once every five or ten years, depending. And in this case, they dont laugh at my title.

Not that I can just choose to put something else, give me a fucking break... You put down what you got.

As for joke school, its one of the top 50 universities in the world, and I landed a position with a fortune 500 company doing some of the worlds most state of the art research, working on one of the world's most advanced electron microscopes.

I'm pretty happy about my decisions, even if I am not making anywhere close to 300k.

>>7255488
>because of this, his initial assumption is true

ouch. the ignorance here is just painful to read.

I'll give you that in prominent biotech hubs (the San Francisco Bay Area and north San Diego come to mind; never lived in Boston), but there are other areas with a strong biotech/biomedical research footprint that are more affordable: Washington DC and Northern Virginia, Minneapolis-St. Paul and Rochester, Raleigh-Durham, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Ann Arbor, Nashville, Houston, among others.

Regardless, my point was that you won't be getting six-figure job offers from industry just out of undergrad. (I'm assuming that you won't be married and raising children as a 21- or 22-year-old senior in college.) With a BA/BS and a year or two of research experience and/or internships, going to academia and getting a lab tech job is in your best interests. You'll have the opportunity to demonstrate you're a capable scientist, make some connections, and figure out what you want to do. These jobs are stepping stones to graduate or medical school or industry. After you put in two to four years, by your mid-20s, you can take your career in any number of directions, and you'll have open doors that you did not know existed coming out of undergrad. I went the grad school route, but I have friends who went to industry as RA IIs/IIIs. That was a few years back, now they're senior RAs or associate scientists, pulling high-five to low-six figures in their late-20s and early-30s.

>>7255665
But on average you won't even break six figures in your life time doing anything less than Mechanical Engineering.

Even the average Civil Engineer never breaks 6 figs.

>>7255710
>But on average you won't even break six figures in your life time doing anything less than Mechanical Engineering.

Interesting data, very good find. I'd like to see the full methodology.

This site puts the average biochemistry/biophysics PhD salary at $81k+: http://www.bls.gov/ooh/life-physical-and-social-science/biochemists-and-biophysicists.htm..

These sites, at $87k: http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Degree=Doctorate_%28PhD%29,_Biochemistry_%28BCH%29/Salary and http://work.chron.com/biochemistry-graduate-salaries-9614.html..

I think a key point to emphasize is that a biochemistry PhD is not a professional degree; in other words, unlike an MD or JD, you're not bound (by debt or culture or tradition) to be a biochemist. As one of the links I posted shows, there are various occupations in which biochemistry PhDs are employed: the list includes some which pay well (senior scientists in industry easily clear $100k even at smaller firms; $110k - $120k is conservative), and others which do not (post-docs). Moreover, given just how saturated academia is, there are hundreds of biochemistry PhDs which graduate every year that are going to be on the post-doc treadmill for the subsequent decade; employed, technically, as biochemists, their salaries of ~$40k to $45/yr (more or less) will drive down the average.

I haven't seen too much data on the average salaries of biochemistry PhDs in industry, of scientists or senior scientists or directors. Or, for that matter, I've never seen any data on the average salaries of biochemistry PhDs who have transitioned to the "business side", to management or finance or consulting. (Albeit, it would be pretty difficult to control the variables here.) But, the little data I have seen on scientists and senior scientists in industry puts the averages at $80 - $90k and $100k+, respectively. For directors, research fellows and other higher positions in R&D, I've seen values from the mid- to high-100s, and even low-200s.

You still haven't answered why it matters.

I can tell when posters are working on their degree.
Sorry you can't.

Millions of people visit 4chan. Not only that but the demographics skew heavily towards the first world middle class. Is it really hard to believe that people have post-grad degrees? It's not nearly as rare as you make it out to be.

Not only that why would anybody go through the trouble of proving that they have a degree on an anonymous image board? Notice that /sci/ has a lack of tripfags indicating that people generally come here to discuss science rather than forge some kind of identity. As others have said you're free to believe what you want, you should be judging posts based on content anyways. That's the whole point of an anonymous message board.

Because no one else has posted proof...

I realize pic related is hardly official but my diploma is in the mail so this is the next best thing. Deal with it.

The only poster who legit seemed to know what he's talking about was CNS, and he doesn't post anymore. You're right OP, we're all faggots without a degree.

>>7254738
Too bad for you, I'm still studying.

>>7256283

>>7256481
going to purdue for math next fall, whats it like?

>>7256540
Because, logically, the burden of proof always lies on the one making the extraordinary claim.

That's how science works. If you want to prove him wrong then it's on you, but if you don't then don't. You're right, no one is gonna force you to prove you've got qualifications.

>prove your identity on an anonymous imageboard
Fuck off Reddit, universities inflate everything, even the number of people that they accept into PhD programs.

>>7257871
But nobody is willing to prove they have a degree. Best we got is a couple transcripts, no actual physical diploma though.

Why are you people hung up on degrees and Alma maters?

These things don't make you smarter or more knowledgeable. It's just things with artificially created worth.

Any benefits you would have gained in "higher education" institutes would have been from your own desire for knowledge. Which makes me laugh when people make fun of others for not having these pieces of paper and calling them "uneducated".

Life isn't as black and white as your autists perceive it to be.

>>7257918

Moreover, that worth created from a degree can be substituted with other things that also create worth for you.

People who rely on and brag about their degrees are using it as a crutch, and aren't as smart as they think they are.

I have more respect for the people with no degrees but who used their brains and created opportunities for success for themselves by being creative and cunning.

>>7257921
>couldn't get into college
Step up your game

>>7257989

Epic reply, pretty much exactly what I predicted.

I guess they don't teach critical thinking at College anymore.

>>7257996
Your argument is baseless and contradicts itself. You say people can earn the equivalent through self education, yet ignore the fact that most work fields require proof of education, and a minimum standard of which one must know to get licensed. Not only that, but you assume everyone who goes to college doesn't apply themselves, which is wrong. If you want to go to a doctor who says he knows what he's doing, or lawyer, or want a plumber or pest control tech or almost anything, you want them to be licensed. We can't all just claim we know what we're doing without creating a minimum standard for which to follow, which is where accredited colleges come in.

>>7257996
To add, you also sound exactly like a high school dropout. What career field do you work in that required no education, in which you could get around being "cunning", that you consider successful?

>>7258043

>you assume everyone who goes to college doesn't apply themselves, which is wrong

Nowhere did I assume that in my post. Stop making shit up.

>yet ignore the fact that most work fields require proof of education, and a minimum standard of which one must know to get licensed

How am I ignoring the fact? It's what my entire post is about. The fact that the degree is the proof of education, and proof of skill. That's what I believe is wrong and is limiting people.

That's where the artificial worth of the degree comes from, in the first place. People have gotten so used to using the degree as a crutch that HR will often times dismiss your resume immediately upon learning that you lack a degree.

The whole point of my post is creating an environment where interviews can sufficiently test potential candidates where the degree or "proof" of education becomes redundant.

Try thinking outside the box sometimes. Idiots like you are so hung up on "muh degree" that you can't even picture any alternatives.

>>7258060
There's a good reason we have formal education, as do all first world countries. You also didn't answer my question, what's your career field?

>>7258137

I'm an Art Director. I got this position through work experience and an exceptional portfolio. This is why I appreciate the creative industry so much.

That's all I will say though. Maybe you can get an idea of why I hold my philosophies.

>>7258147
Because you don't believe people should have to work hard to get well paying jobs.

>>7258168
>Because you don't believe people should have to work hard to get well paying jobs.

How do you even come to this ludicrous conclusion? It's the exact opposite of what I want to preach.

My entire argument is that the piece of paper called a degree has artificial worth created by society, and is used as influence into getting a job.

An ideal situation would be a degree being unnecessary IF you have learned the proper skills anyway. I'm not advocating abolishing higher education or degrees, for fucks sake. I'm advocating giving people who are skilled but with no degrees (AKA autodidacts) the same chance of success as people with a degree.

>>7261412
It very much depends on what you're studying. I'm in grants allocation and for my field, we make more awards to Chicago than Harvard. To be honest, most tier ranking is bullshit. Good science is good science, no matter where it comes from.

I'm going for a master's in finance at MIT this fall, I'd show my degree (in econ and math from Minnesota) but I don't have it for another couple weeks lol

>>7261412
Depends on what you're doing. Harvard and MIT are definitely better for like an econ PhD since they have so many influential economists in their ranks and for compsci you want Stanford or MIT, but for a lot of other fields (like biomedical specialties) yeah you really can't go wrong

>>7261945
Who has a better law program, Stanford or Harvard?

>classic example of shitposting.

see >>7255366 to see why you're shitposting.

>>7262316
Yale

>>7255216
you're exactly the person OP is calling out and it's amazing.

fuck off

>>7255216
Mhmm sure you do

open question
why do a masters when you can learn anything you want online for free?

>>7263348
Because that is not how the world works. It doesn't matter what you think of it or how good it is, if you want to be recognized for your knowledge you have no other choice.

>>7263354
ok, but once you have a bachelors you can get a job, and job experience is a lot more valuable in industry than a masters, if you want to go the academic route then you'd do a phd, so it seems to me like a masters is just ego stroking

I have a BS in CS.

Although I technically don't have it yet since I just graduated last Saturday, so I've gotta wait for it to show up in the mail.

Damn you are unto us.

NCSU represent. What do you do now?

>>7254738
>Can any of you actually prove you got any degree? If you guys show me any college degrees I'll be impressed, but it sounds like the vast majority of people on /sci/ are over-dreaming 16 year-olds who know some jargon.

OP really?
Do you believe people must say the truth on the internet?

Few anons here posted their diplomas, and the rest are probably shitposting.
Honestly I don't know what you are trying to prove.
>Fucking /sci/fags shitposting claiming they have a PhD
>better make a thread to know if they are lying! I will make /sci/ better!

You can do this in every board, for example, in /k/, asking if they really served on the army, on /g/ if they have really worked, on /lit/ if they have a degree as well, and so on and so on.

You should stop being mad at random people on the internet. Stop being mad at le ebin triple integral meme and the endless shitpost threads about "guise is chalk and blackboard still good".

>>7264083
Most "mathfags" on this board are actually 18-19 years old. You are talking to edgey freshmen & sophomores that like to shit on CS majors because they don't have to take the shit courses they themselves haven't even completed yet. These 18 year olds think undergrad analysis is fucking hard when its really fucking easy compared to the real upper level math courses. These 18 year olds crack me up. They don't deserve to call themselves "mathfags" or make fun of CS or engineering majors.

>You are talking to edgey freshmen & sophomores that like to shit on CS majors because they don't have to take the shit courses they themselves haven't even completed yet.
Holy shit dude you need to calm down. Why are you getting upset at people who hate CS majors?
I'm a CS major and I come here to ask some questions and laugh at threads like these.
Just stop being mad at strangers you probably will never meet. They probably are the same people who make troll threads on /lit/.

>>7264083
/k/ has arsenal/edc threads all the time, asking to show collections. /g/ does the same with computers. I never post on /lit/ because I'm not a faggot.

I don't understand why you are defending notorious liars, unless you in fact are one of them.

>>7264095
I'm not defending them, I'm just kind of shocked because OP literally is mad at those retards.

Although this happened to me. When you post on more serious board like /lit/ (inb4 memes) or /sci/ you forget you are on 4chan, so you think any trace of /b/tardation and ebin memes should be removed.

Best I can do until I get my associates degree, OP.

>>7264092
Because they are 18 year old retards that don't even study real math, but claim they do and act all edgy about it. They have shits for brains and aren't even fully mentally developed yet.
