Amen for us Bio geeks, huh? I've got a B.S. in Bio, just effing graduated, and LKH has jumped off the Logic train, hitched to Sleazeville, been beaten to a pulp by an STD-ridden ho, and crawled her way onto Crazy Drive to curl up with the twitchy homeless people.
The woman uses her Bio degree like some sort of badge of honor. Honey, degrees are useless if you don't actually work in the field. Your lame attempts at physical description and sexual exploits don't count when your 'research' equates to practice at your house and asking swingers couples go about their day. WHAT THE HELL.
Any biology professor I've had would take one look at her text, scratch out everything physically improbably or impossible, and any point that doesnt make -sense-, (with a RED PEN) and tell her to take her lazy ass home to research PROPERLY before handing in a rewrite.
You can't claim the utility of logic and how it's helped you as a writer when you aren't logical, or thorough, in your own final drafts. This is why you need an editor.
