Are we comparing biologists to the general public or to mathematicians here? Cause to get a BS in Biology at many universities you need math up through diff eq at a minimum

Bruh, it's a joke

I have a two degrees in natural sciences myself and partially selected that route because it wasn't supposed to be math intensive.

Now I do fertilizer calculations and look at stats...

Any physical science is going to be math heavy. Hell, even for social sciences statistics is super important.

Lol, physiologists say hi, and they need that natural log function you've been hiding back.

As a molecular biologist, I can confirm this meme is 100% accurate. If excel cant calculate it for me, I want nothing to do with it.

They pay me to be right; that's why they pay for my excel license
