I can never be a research scientist because, apparently, I didn't find this video very funny. It's supposed to poke fun at the fact that "most" research scientists apparently don't understand "most" of the talks they go to, because those talks are "outside the field." But, as a sometimes-mentally-challenged graduate student, I figured this guy worked on birds or something. I didn't get the parody until a labmate pointed it out to me.
"Must be 'outside of your field,'" a labmate said to me.
Thankfully, I can still laugh for hours at this, this, this, this, and this.
