Improbable Research

Ashwin Mudigonda has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists (LFHCfS). He says:

I am a roboticist who spends most of his time figuring out how to get robots to behave in an industrial environment in the most efficient way possible. My research gives smarts to many of the traditional robots designed for the automotive industry. Some of the robots I work with are humanoids and are as bald as the Oort Cloud (I love that name), and, perhaps, some day, our research can meld with the Japanese android manufacturers to create handsome coiffed robots!

Lindsay Porter has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists (LFHCfS). She says:

I am a scientist at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland but spend most of my time with mammalian species who are defined by their lack of hair. Well nearly.  As a cetacean ecologist with a particular interest in skin condition and how its condition can be used as a remote indicator of health, I am more concerned with the water that flows across the dermis rather than the locks which flow from it.  Nonetheless, a specialist club which combines both hair and science has a tremendous appeal.

Katriona (Tiger) Bradley has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists (LFHCfS). She says:

I am a veterinary scientist who has a passion for long haired mammals.  My luxuriantly coiffed clients include Angoras, both French and English, American Fuzzy Tops, Jersey Woolys and, of course, the Lionheads;  all are long-haired rabbit breeds which are one of my specialist fields.  Rabbits are popular pets here in Hong Kong and over the years I have seen many species, both long and short haired.  I am a wearer of long hair and a carer of other long hairs.

Nadia Anastasia Saif has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists (LFHCfS). She says:

I am a undergraduate at The University of Surrey, which I will graduate from with a degree in Medical Microbiology in June. I have already spent a year working in a lab during my placement year, last year and my current dissertation is to Develop An In Vitro Model of The Chicken Caecum; which if I achieve it, should get me published. I was interviewed for my university to demonstrate biosciences at surrey to prospective students, if you follow the link, me and my luxuriant/flowing hair appear at around 1.40; which should prove my science credentials in a less dry manner than sending in my CV.
