Subtypes of geochemists
I don’t know who came up with this — it’s been bouncing around science journals for 50 years:
Hydromicrobiogeochemist: one who studies small underwater flora and
their relationship to underlying rock strata by using chemical methods.
Microhydrobiogeochemist: one who studies flora in very small bodies
of water and their relationship to underlying rock strata by using
chemical methods.
Microbiohydrogeochemist: one who studies small flora and their
relationship to underlying rock strata by using chemical methods and
SCUBA equipment.
Biohydromicrogeochemist: a very small geochemist who studies the effect of plant life in hydrology.
Hydrobiomicrogeochemist: a very small geochemist who studies wet plants.
Biomicrohydrogeochemist: a very small, wet geochemist who likes lettuce.
Found in the Futility Closet.
Ah, Futility Closet!
ReplyDeleteI think I have you to thank for my ever going there in the first place. One good blog leads to another, I suppose.
That last reminds me of two of my students (they're brothers). How many little boys eat lettuce as if it were potato chips?
