I am unfamiliar with your slang. Can you elaborate please?
- greengarstudios 16y agoI'm not the parent, but: card-carrying means "thorough" or "avidly devoted to a group", so I take this phrase to mean that he is very non-academic, especially compared to those in his social group, who are relatively much more academic than he is.
- bbgm 16y agoThanks. That is correct. Most of my "network" are researchers in various universities and academic institutions. I went straight from graduate school to a startup, which is not the norm in my circles. "circles" above is mostly the life science modeling, simulation and informatics community
