    You realize you can have a PhD… in science? (Any specific kind of science you wanna pick.)

      You can get a philosophy doctorate in science? Honestly no, I didn’t realize that at all

        The trick lies in philosophy coming from Greek philosophia which is love for/love of wisdom. It never referred to what we understand as philosophy, but rather affinity for studying.

          That’s interesting, I wonder why they differentiate some like MDs and EDs but not others.
