This seems pretty dismissive of the work that field ecologists and botanists do - and the rigorous nature of their work
It's just a meme.
A meme accurately representing my plant morphology teacher screaming at me because I couldn't see if the god forsaken ovary was inferior or superior would not make me laugh, it would make me cry.
Those notebooks have room for more tears
Agreed, but id rather hang out with the botanists and field ecologists anyway. I chose biology as a major precisely because the biologists were chill. The geologists drank too much and the engineers seemed uncreative. People who love and appreciate biology are my people.
If you're not already watching crime pays but botany doesn't on youtube you should start. It's just 30+ minute videos of a profane botanist from Chicago running around nature and pointing out cool plants and complaining about society
Thanks for the recommendation. I looked him up and to my surprise the first video that showed up was of him here in Brazil walking in the middle of absolute nowhere talking nonstop about every single plant he finds on the ground. I am hooked.
I only found him recently but he has really accelerated a path I was already on to becoming more conscious about plants and the role they play in our environment. I'm now in the planning phase of converting about 1.5 acres of lawn into native prairie and starting to manage some woods that I own so they're more beneficial to wildlife.
