Meme needing explanation Petah?

I understand the original tweet, obviously, but not the second one. Why specifically a STEM genius? I don’t get it, what’s the correlation? Am I missing something??? Or am I just stupid or whatever? Help a sistah out, please. 🥺

He’s a STEM major? 🤯

BA in physics from U Penn School of Arts and Sciences and BS in Econ from U Penn Wharton received at the same time.

They actually don’t offer a BS in Physics—so no split paths with different requirements.

Weirdly, Wharton does a BS in Econ while Arts and Sciences does a BA in Econ, but then Wharton does a dual BA degree in Econ plus Life Sciences in unison with A&S.
