That's not ironic. Irony occurs when the outcome is opposite of what actions intended. If many people enter biology and related areas precisely because they dislike math, then the expectation would be that math-related areas of the field (such as statistics) would suffer as a result. Irony (in this case) would be if people entered biology because they dislike math, but then biology as a field ended up being stronger in statistics than the more mathematically inclined fields.
