      I’m sorry, did you just compare the social sciences to children’s toys?

      Science isn’t just test tubes and telescopes and super colliders. I’m sorry you’re so incurious about the world that you apparently only care about the inanimate parts of it.

      Scientific knowledge is what happens when you apply the scientific method. It’s not just stem.
