Why is there such an overlap between marine biology and love of puns? Has anyone done a study yet?

I think there’s an overlap in general between scientists and puns, I’ve seen posts like this from all fields

as an autistic person, i imagine that might have something to do with it 😂 i feel like a lot of scientists and researchers are on the spectrum at least a little bit.

When I saw studying marine bio I was told classes would thin out when “the people who just want to swim with dolphins wash out.” Maybe there’s a similar filter people with no joy in life who don’t like puns.

Quick, survey the people who like swimming with dolphins and see if they disproportionately hate puns!

Fun fact: dolphins hate puns almost as much as they hate Alan Alda.

I feel like “Not an ichthyologist” is a bit confusing way for an ichthyologist to sign their email

I think the lack of the trailing comma is the clue here. The first three are email signatures. The last one is just saying “I’m not an ichthyologist”.
