So, when I had my mention in the Telegraph motoring section, it was under the title "In, Out, In, Out, Shake It All About".

This time, I'm titled "Science not sex".

I need to get out more.


(Although I have to say, why can't they realise that science *is* sexy?)

:D This is an issue I have with some CSI fangirls who say that Grissom makes science sexy. Actually, the science makes Grissom sexier, thankyouverymuch. Mmmmmmm.

Eeeeee, you iconned the Mandelbrot song! May I steal? May I? Purleeease?

I'm not a CSI-watcher, but have to say that it's amazing how much sexier someone can become by demonstrating an understanding of calculus or nuclear spin theory.

I think you're the me I'd have become had I bothered to work at Uni :) It's kind of nice, having a living, breathing "what if...?", even if i *do* get envious at times ;)

Yes! You need the Mandelbrot icon because you brought Jonathan Coulton's songs to my attention! I hope the equation's right; I swiped it from the wikipedia entry on Mandelbrot sets.

My latest fandom is very much about the science = sexy axiom, and it's really getting me back into maths. (I kinda lost my math-fu when I was royally stuffing up third year, and that's always bothered me, but now that I don't have any pressure to learn maths I can dabble in it as a hobby and hopefully pick up what I've forgotten and what I never quite learned!) But Charlie Eppes scribbling out advanced mathematical concepts on a blackboard and explaining them with some clever analogy? Incredibly hot. :D

I sometimes get envious of the people I went to uni with who managed to stay consistent with their studies and got through the degree properly. I've taken a big silly detour, but I rather like the way it's turned out as I've essentially managed to wrangle a way of studying as many sciences as possible at various times in my life!

tv characters of interest

There are three very brainy, sexy characters on television -
(in the USA) Grissom on CSI, Dr. House (diagnostician) on House, and Charlie Epps (mathematician) on Numbers.

I can think of several quite fetching 'supporting brains' on other shows - but can't think of any character names, offhand. (the tall, slim, striking, raven-haired man who works in the morgue lab on Crossing Jordan, for instance...Steve Valentine?)

Yes.

Grissom would not be sexy if he were not intelligent.

I think scientists are sexy because they are intelligent and also look at the world differently to me so they are intreaguing and mystifying.

Nobody ever thinks that abstract arty types are sexy so we go around pretending that science is nerdy and marrying men with physics degrees. Or something.

got to agree with that one
