I'm mostly obsessed with biology, specificly paleontology.

I wouldn't say I'm obsessed, but I find theoretical physics and astrophysics fascinating

I'm obsessed with physics and a little bit of math, so much so that I've caught myself reading math books 8O .

Love it! My obsession has been life long. Biology and physics are my favourites. I enjoy maths too.

definitely physics and astronomy! I am doing a degree in them.
and maths, it is kind of impossible to do physics without maths.

It's hard to go into any science, with maybe the exception of Biology without math.

Most definitely ! :) Astronomy, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Chemistry, Geology, Robotics & lasers.

Molecular biology requires mathematics.

Don't all biology require maths? (I believe so, at least in my country).

I'm into astronomy, spaceflight and IT, mainly. But those encompass just about every other field of science to a certain extent, so I try to keep up with science in general.

LOL. Have you ever heard this?

There is a socialogist, a physicist and a mathematician on a train travelling through Scotland. The train passes a field containing a single black sheep. The sociologist says "Oh look, a black sheep, all sheep in Scotland must be black". The physicist says "No. Some of the sheep in Scotland are black." The mathematician says "No. There is a field in Scotland with a sheep in it. Half of which is black."

Well, I'm talking about general biology,and the math is a bit simpler. Whereas math in Physics and such is more complex, which uses College Algerbra-College Calculas. < I know I misspell it>

I find that XKCD missing a step, the physics theorists. I am not certain which side of the mathematicians they are on. But then I am a physics experimentalist which I think corresponds best to physicists in the comic. I have heard that joke a few times, though usually the last sentence is "At least half of which is black."

Well, it depends what area of science. I like Cosmology (Sort of like Astrophysics), Astronomy, Physics and Biology (I am not too good at Biology).

The Sciences that are i am currently or previously have been interested in:
Currently- Astronomy/astrophysics,planetary science.
Previously- chemistry,meteorology.
I did do biology in year 12, but was pretty average at the subject.
