I have an MS, and will now insist on being referred to as a scientist. The MS is in nonprofit management.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That makes as much sense as my JD entitling me to be addressed as "Doctor". Heh.

Because books.
I've heard good things about them.
After traveling last week, quitting looked a lot more attractive.
I just want to be a Doctor of Thinkology.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a Masters in Library Science, but am pretty sure that does not make me a scientist.
Nor does it make you The Master. These things are confusing.
They moved comp sci into the school of engineering before I graduated, and the "real" engineers were pissed. We were absolutely not allowed to call ourselves engineers. The depth of investment was offputting.
It's not like I'd been craving the label all my life, or anything. They can keep it.

This is a hoax right? Or some sort of arcane magic? I wouldn't want one in my house. Who knows what it would do next? When you can no longer predict function by form, ANYTHING can happen.
Okay, time for stinky garlic fries. Sorry, co-workers.

Thrive to spite them
ita I've seen a fan like that in the store. It actually felt nice. Maybe it was at Costco so it wasn't $499, but it was this magic circle of cool air.

ita,
I think of most anthropologists as social scientists. Why do you believe your sister is not a scientist?
Do you mean she does not practice hard sciences?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh yeah, totally. Not only was it on Ask This Old House, but I've seen them at the store and, predictably, stuck my arm through it. I now believe that it is, in fact, a fan, however I also have concluded that my arm has superhealing powers.
I am also the sort of person who opens drawers at museums marked "Open This" with no other indication as to what it contains, so I am not really to be trusted with accurate product testing.

I don't know what definition of science would include what my sister studies or does. It's a discipline, but what makes anything a science?

Dyson fans use fairly well known principles. And the function is dependent on the form. Just not the form you are used to.
