I have a family member who studies fish at a post doc level. He had to learn a bunch of calculus and statistical analysis just to be able to actually make use of the data they collect. Anyone who wants to design and publish research has to have a pretty good grasp of a lot of math.

I invite you to have a look at some of the studies, when there is a new "pyschologists found out that your poor sleep comes from your mom having an affair with your goldfish" style headline. Then you find out they asked like 30 people they got from an online survery or so.
