I personally hold undergraduate and graduate degrees in biology, chemistry, biochemistry and Business Administration from esteemed nationally accredited public institutions.
I take no issue with Paul saying he has a degree in biology. He did not say that he has a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology.
A Doctor of Medicine may be freely interpreted as "a degree in biology" even as BS/MS/PhD degrees in zoology, biochemistry, microbiology, or biotechnology are degrees in biology.
For many MD's having a degree in biology was a pre-requisite for getting into med school (as it was for my dad) and for obtaining the higher degree, Doctor of Medicine, or MD. The study of biology is inextricably linked to the study of and ultimately the practice of medicine.
I'm a Cruz over Paul guy myself, but on this issue I wouldn't split hairs.
FReegards!
“I personally hold undergraduate and graduate degrees in biology, chemistry, biochemistry and Business Administration from esteemed nationally accredited public institutions. I take no issue with Paul saying he has a degree in biology.”
Perfectly stated. And I think most biologists I know would roll their eyes at this “controversy”.
I agree with your position also regarding Paul vs Cruz.
Thank you for expressing your opinion.
