Scientific enthusiasm Memes

The eternal battle between self-appointed science gatekeepers and marine biologists who just want to geek out over cephalopods. Nothing says "I've never touched grass" quite like typing furiously about proper scientific decorum while actual researchers are busy having genuine moments of joy watching an octopus do octopus things. The gatekeepers seem to forget that enthusiasm is what got most scientists into the field in the first place. Meanwhile, the marine biologists are too busy witnessing eight-armed intelligence to care about keyboard warriors.
