    It really depends on the field. They are more common the “hard” sciences like physics, mathematics, engineering, chemistry, etc. STEM basically.

    They also exist in the social sciences like history and athropology but are farrrrr less common

      Many right wings I saw don’t actually like social sciences that much compared to your average leftist.
