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:
- Wear a lab coat, latex gloves, safety goggles, and closed-toe shoes. And nothing else.
- Hide unsightly grad students in cabinets.
- Rewrite "x³" in all mathematical equations as "xxx."
- 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.
- Replace model organisms … with supermodel organisms!
- 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."
- 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...
