Improbable Research

Stephen Gisselbrecht has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists. He says:

I am happy to have found a scientific society that will cater to more than one of my interests.

Joe Luczkovich has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists. He says:

It was the photo of Karen of the Funhouse Strippers that did it…. I want to be in the same club as that professor of chemistry!

Jessica King has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists. She says:

I’m a undergraduate chemistry research scientist at the University of Central Florida. I previously worked on Cerium Oxide nanoparticles, and was the first author on a paper still pending review. Currently I am working on plasmon effects of metals using various dyes. I think I have luxurious hair because many of the dyes I work with are attracted to my flowing locks, and I often leave the lab with Rhodamine or Nile Blue colored highlights in my hair.

P.S. If there is also a club for Lusciously Pale Scientists as a Result of Too Many Hours in the Lab, can you please forward this picture to them? Thank you.

Rock star Brian Sawyer (the second rock star Brian to join the club) has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists. Liz Wise, who nominated him, says:

My boyfriend Brian began growing his hair out in high school, which is where he also developed a love of physics.  He always keeps his hair pulled back while in the lab. The photo shows him playing lead guitar in the metal band, Cryogen.
In the lab he uses Stark deceleration to trap cold OH molecules for possible quantum applications. (I’m not the best at explaining this, please see credentials.) He currently has his masters in molecular physics and is working toward his PhD. He’s very hard working and HOT!
