is Biology at Stanford a "techie" major?

Some bio majors feel like it is an assault on the legitimacy of their science if they are not called techies.

On a side note, I really don’t like the distinction between fuzzies and techies. The terms carry some baggage. Fuzzy connotes being a touchy-feeley flower child and techie connotes being a socially inept human computer.

There are “fuzzies” who are anything but touchy-feeley, and there are many articulate and social “techies”.
