I feel like even though I never really went anywhere with my degree, being a science major was HUGELY important to my personal growth. Whether I’d have gotten that if I’d studied something else I can’t say, since I think *that* would mean I came from a more supportive background.
Biochemistry really opened my eyes to bias, since the one term, get-it-over-quickly course was one of the tenured professor’s baby. A big chunk of course was about free radicals, which was this guy’s focus.
