Scientists are loners!

People who are duped in research, who are into geeky conventions and those who write tend to have solitary lives or rough relationships. It may also be that the BO exhibiting, jumper wearing, spectacle wearing, living with mother, stuttering people have poor social skills and tend to be single they also tend to be scientists?

I like the idea of the Indiana Jones model … although an archaeologist - which in terms of geekiness are quite high, he is still a bit of a hero, it’s his alter-ego. Perhaps scientists are single during the day, only so they can hit the night hard partying … then come back to their desks and fall asleep - when the Dean comes in the next morning sees the “hard working scientist fall asleep at his desk - stinking of BO” - no wonder he’s got BO - spent the night in clubs.

You’re good with words!

Y’know, people like Einstein don’t really help disprove this stereotype image of scientists

Most saynsdaan I’ve worked with are quite social outside of the working hours. When you’re in the lab, you’re surrounded by machines (not people) and you have to focus on what you’re doing so its pretty darn quiet and lonely in there. We always have the radio turned on in there to keep the atmosphere a little bit lively. But outside the lab, they’re normal as everyone else! In comparison to medicice, yes we do start off on lower wages but it doesn’t take long to climb up the ladder and make some good monies so no they don’t live with their mommies at 40+. As for the hardcore geeks, well they’re found in every profession and they do like to keep to themselves.
