Having had neither, I am willing to debate you
Actual doctors do continuing medical education all the time.
Therapist I know once told me that she always tries to tailor her advice into a form her patient is familiar with.
With a fanboy she’ll talk about Star Trek shields and Superman kryptonite.
With a musician she’ll talk about harmony and tempo.

4·2 months agoLooking at the illustration, it’s hard to figure out year it was drawn. The artist is creating a ‘future house.’ Also, it’s not clear if this is an educational comic, or one for entertainment.
99% of the people today ahve some idea of what ‘gamma rays’ are, but we all accept that they can turn a normal man into The Hulk.
I know people who refuse to eat gluten even though no doctor told them to avoid it.

Isaac Asimov was a professional writer long before he entered college. When the time came for him to write his doctoral thesis, his advisor warned him against being too articulate. Most chemistry majors took the minimum of English classes and were unable to write well.
Asimov had read many papers and knew the dry jargon they used. As an exercise, he wrote his own bad paper.

Also, both Buffy and Firefly have graphic novel versions that continue the stories.
And some Firefly novels. I’ve read the comics, but not the novels.

Isaac Asimov was a professional writer long before he entered his doctorate program. When he was writing his thesis he was advised to try to make it sound like it had been written by a chemist and not an author.
To practice ‘scientific’ style writing he wrote a comic piece.

They broke the case ‘Goodfellas’ is based on because someone parked a van full of evidence in an illegal spot.
Copilot Search Branding
The “Goodfellas” Van Parking Incident In the real-life events that inspired Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas, the infamous Lufthansa heist at JFK Airport on December 11, 1978, ended with a botched getaway that became a cautionary tale in mob history.
The robbery, masterminded by James “Jimmy the Gent” Burke and his crew, including Henry Hill, netted over $5 million in cash and $875,000 in jewelry — the largest single robbery in U.S. history at the time . After the heist, the stolen Ford Econoline van was supposed to be taken to a car compactor in New Jersey for destruction
Instead, Parnell “Stacks” Edwards, the getaway driver, took a detour to his girlfriend’s apartment in Brooklyn. Rather than follow the plan, he parked the van in a no-parking zone in Canarsie, Brooklyn . Police didn’t find it immediately — it was two days later that they located it, and Edwards’ fingerprints were on the vehicle
This is why people invented gods.
At a certain point, it just makes more sense to punt everything to ‘the Almighty’ and go about your day

40·4 months agoThere was a TNG episode that said essentially that; there was a precursor species that ‘seeded’ humanoids across the Galaxy.
iirc it was NYC 8 mllion and Sweden 7.5 million. No idea what her source was.
New York City born and raised.
I distinctly remember a third grade class when the teacher told us that the population nation of Sweden was smaller than the population of New York City.
Nobody does indignation like a 9 year old.
