As a metrologist I often feel underappreciated and belittled by the engineers who would all be dead in the water without my services. It makes me happy to see some appreciation for the field 😊😊😊

I am a metrologist for biotech. I calibrate the balances, check the RPM's of the centrifuges and measure different gas pressure and levels etcetera across a lot of different equipment's and environments. I wouldn't call myself a scientist or engineer because I measure these things against set standards by either our QA or industry standards but I am well aware that our nerds wouldn't be able to do their jobs without me getting readings from my equipment that is being routinely calibrated by my superiors in the field of metrology who are at least one step closer to using universal constants instead of measurement readouts on their trusted devices like I do.

I never realized how important metrology is, until I asked my dad who worked in metrology for over 50 years. Every electronic part he’s put together and calibrated has gone on to make so many things such as military equipment, cars, phones, anything you can think of. Metrology and metrologists are so under appreciated and if it were not for me majoring in Chemistry I would’ve definitely gone for Metrology had my college offered it ❤
