She said she has her PhD in cancer biology. That seems a bit vague to me. Did she write her dissertation on cancer and received a degree in biology? Exactly, how specific was her research? Was it more like cancer studies?
When I entered college some 40+ years ago I was misplaced in a course meant to fulfill a general elective. It was Physics for Society. Would that make me a physicist? Nope. By the way, I dropped the course and replaced it with Mechanics I. I’m still not a physicist, I’m just a lowly software engineer.
Colleges have been filled with bogus courses and majors for decades. It’s quite easy for a person with average cognitive ability to get a PhD. Quite honestly, there a limited few hard sciences PhD’s worthy of having and plenty of junk science.
“Exactly, how specific was her research? Was it more like cancer studies?”
I’m guessing it’s really one of those “medical communications” degrees or something along those lines. She seems much more like a hospital administrator/marketing type than an actual scientist.
