The 50 sexiest scientists alive...

I was just reading this article on Science about the recently published list of the 50 sexiest scientists alive by Business Insider.I really like their piece of advice:

"So how do you make your research sexier? Glad you asked! Cosmo-style, here are seven simple ways to sex up your science:
  1. Wear a lab coat, latex gloves, safety goggles, and closed-toe shoes. And nothing else.
  2. Hide unsightly grad students in cabinets.
  3. Rewrite "x³" in all mathematical equations as "xxx."
  4. Turn on some Barry White music. Lower the lights in the laboratory. Then have a lot of sex there. Ideally, a second person would be involved as well.
  5. Replace model organisms … with supermodel organisms!
  6. Arrange implausible pornographic situations in the lab: "This is my friend Kimberly. She just came over to use the chemical safety shower. Oh, look, the repairman is here to fix the differential scanning calorimeter."
  7. Offer sexual favors in exchange for grant money. (That's basically what science funding has come to at this point anyway.)
And now the part I know you were waiting for, the list:
Go and check if your name is part of it, I know you are curious...

A few notes on this list:
1.  Mohawk guy is number 1, so no surprises there!!!
2. I seriously think I qualify and I should have made the list.
3. WTF?? What were you thinking, are these your 50 sexiest scientist alive?? I can pick a pen and a piece of paper and write down the name of at least 20 people (scientists obviously) that would qualify more...
4. Seriously, I don't understand why my name is not in the list...
