I recently attended a lab meeting. I submitted my last paper, a scenario analysis two weeks ago, and now I’m deciding on the topic to focus on for the next 10 months to a year. Of course, like usual, my mentor and I don’t see eye to eye, but I’m so passionate about the niche I found that I keep advocating for it. For me, discovering that “nobody researched it before” is incredibly exciting, and I’m proud to have identified a gap in the literature, especially since it’s an emerging trend. I want to be the first to publish about it and make it mine; I’m sure many more will follow.
According to my mentor, I’m emotional, blinded by passion, and taking too many risks. Well, I’m not sure about science, but when it comes to dating, I definitely tend to follow a similar approach. This understanding inspired me to play with the science-dating comparison. As a PhD student, I have to fall in love with science every day to keep myself somewhat sane. This is how it went today.
In biology, adaptation means survival. In dating, it just means lowering your standards.
In astronomy, distance gives perspective. In dating, it gives excuses.
In chemistry, when something is unstable, it explodes. In dating, it’s just superswipes.
In medicine, we call it a side effect. In dating, we call it emotional damage.
In geometry, all angles eventually meet. In dating, they just go in circles.
In thermodynamics, energy can’t be destroyed. In dating, well, it can.
In sociology, patterns explain behavior. In dating, they just repeat it.
In economics, supply meets demand. In dating, it’s mostly ghosting.
In astronomy, stars align. In dating, calendars don’t.
In philosophy, every question seeks truth. In dating, it just kills the vibe.
In math, equations balance. In dating, effort doesn’t.
In chemistry, reactions are measurable. In dating, they’re just confusing.
In biology, reproduction has a purpose. In dating too, just a different one.
In cardiology, broken hearts get treated. In dating, they get recycled.
In economics, value can be negotiated. In dating, it’s assumed
In ecology, everything seeks harmony. In dating, everyone seeks validation.
In linguistics, words mean something. In dating, they don’t.
In physics, attraction follows clear laws. In dating, it just defies them all.
In biology, toxicity has a measurable dose. In relationships, it’s just called “potential.”
In astronomy, black holes warn you before they pull you in. In dating, it just happens.
In math, problems have solutions. In dating, they just have patterns.
In geology, pressure makes diamonds. In dating, it just makes migraines.
In data science, anomalies get flagged. In relationships, they get romanticized.
In quantum physics, uncertainty is a principle. In dating, it’s a strategy.
In psychiatry, we treat delusions. In dating, we call them “potential.”
In cardiology, rhythm matters. In dating, it’s just mixed signals.
In endocrinology, hormones explain behavior. In dating, they excuse it.
In immunology, exposure builds resilience. In dating, it builds tolerance for nonsense.
In pathology, damage is studied under a microscope. In dating, you just zoom in on their Instagram.
In dermatology, we heal what’s on the surface. In dating, we just cover it up.
In gastroenterology, we study gut reactions. In dating, we ignore them.
In neurology, signals are either blocked or misfired. In dating, both happen.
In gynecology, cycles are predictable. In dating, they are still predictable, but everybody acts suprised when something very predictable happens.
In radiology, we find what’s hidden. In dating, we pretend we didn’t see it.
In surgery, precision saves lives. In dating, it ends conversation
In anesthesiology, we keep people numb. In dating, they do that themselves.
In pediatrics, growth is measured. In dating, maturity isn’t.
In geriatrics, we value experience. In dating, we filter it out.
In emergency medicine, seconds count. In dating, you can’t be too fast because you may seem needy.
In forensic medicine, we find the cause of death. In dating, we just call it bad timing.
In public health, awareness changes behavior. In dating, behavior changes awareness.
In rehabilitation medicine, relapse is part of recovery. In dating, it’s just part of your type.
In epidemiology, transmission is the problem. In dating, it’s the point.
