How about medical science? Again, some of the research going on there is
scientific.
How about physical science?

Nothing? Perhaps you are unaware of some of the research going on this
area.

Maybe "Materials Science" is a real science that uses the word
"science." Maybe. But most physicists and chemists would consider it
to be engineering.

Do you mean medicine? Or biology? Or biochemistry? Or oncology? I'm
not sure what "medical science" is. I don't know anyone who calls
themselves a "medical scientist."
Are you referring to Physics? Chemistry? Optics? Does any university
have a School of Physical Science?

Political Science is the art of getting elected, not of doing the job.

lawsuits, and the bad publicity kicked him out of the running for an
office he'd held for about 20 years.

Apparently MIT has a "school of physical science", but the actual

The original quote, which wasn't mine, was somewhat facetious, mocking
things like political science and social science and library science,
the point being that real scientists don't use the word "science" in
their departments or degrees, but pseudo-scientists do.
Get grim and bitchy if it pleases you. I thought the original
observation was pretty powerful.
I design electronics, and what I do is called engineering.
What do you do, and what is it called?

Big snip
taught an honor's course titled "Scientific Inquiry."
I honestly never meant to offend you! So, with that in mind, I apologize
for my poor communication skills.
It's hardly cool and is actually hackneyed.
OK, if you must know, I am a professor emiritus and once developed andI design electronics, and what I do is called engineering.
