Virgin - Chad

[Anonymous No.9364253]

What are the virgin/Chad subfields of your field and why?

Pure math:
>Virgin: Set theorist
Half of it is seeing who can create the biggest number, the other half is playing around with axioms nobody cares about
>Chad: Combinatorialist
Extremely hard discipline that has no general theory behind it, basically just solving random problems for the fun of it

CS
>Virgin: SE
They're incapable to do all the abstract thinking involved in serious programming so they just do Java and webdev. Might be the only specialization where having a PhD actually ruins your employability because you're expected to be an uneducated JS monkey.
>Chad: parallelizing
Research lab lends you its supercalculator so you can mine bitcoins while pretending it's for your project. The rest of your studies is proving algorithms in a paradigm so obscure even Hoare logic can't do shit in it.

fluid mechanics
>the virgin OpenFOAM
Has to program in fortran / c
Uses obscure FEM formulations that no one really cares about
simulations are more costly and take longer than experimentation anyway

>the CHAD ANSYS Fluent
literally incapable of coding, all you have is the GUI
integrated CAD (a shoutout to chad)
each new unit in a parallel simulation needs it's own license, so poorfags are kept out of research.
Will use completely useless meshes just to challenge itself
can add millions of models to your problem, no need to worry about exploiting mathematical/physical tricks in order to make it simpler just make the full 3D turbulent transient simulation with particle tracks, energy equation, species and the kitchen sink. What are you a fucking pussy?
has friends from the ANSYS family to help you in other simulations

Life sciences
Chad systems biology, biophysics, ecosystem science, mathematical x, wildlife biology, molecular biology, eco devo, phenology
Virgin
Biotech, biochem, taxonomy and systematics, genetics, bioinformatics, physiology(except for ecophysiology), evolutionary science.

>Eco devo
I meant evo devo, although studying evolutionary development in the context of ecology is +10 cool points

Also, it turns out that these are both basically the same thing.

There's no such thing as a Chad STEM major, let's just nip this in the bud now.

I know a lot of professors who are pretty chad. Some people get the genetic lottery.

[Anonymous No.9366364]

>virgin
econometric microeconomics studies
>chad
game theory

[Anonymous No.9366367]

>>9366364
>virgin econometric social scientist
-most studies have no conclusion
-always needs more data
-true experiments are impossible to do
-math is highly complex and hard to understand, even for experts
-everyone constantly disagrees
-popularity contest in publishing
>chad game theorists
-needs no evidence
-claims are absolute and final
-everyone agrees that brilliant findings are brilliant
-the best models can be understood by bright high school students
-popularity is determined by correctness and insight
-elegant models are pretty much art and recognized as so

What is a non-passable trap? I don't get this one. But then a lot of these are obscure in jokes.

medicine

virgin: pathologists, radiologists, internists

chad: orthopedic surgery (any surgery really), cardiologists, emergency med, proceduralists, trauma

it takes balls to inject a cocktail of drugs into someone that could potentially kill them. theyre somewhere in between.

[Anonymous No.9366478]

>>9366451
I can agree with this

>computer algorithm where you just input perameters.

did i say brainpower?

still takes balls assume the full responsibility of someone's life
