Early Members
Today, new members are celebrated in the Improbable Blog (where the LFHCfS has it's own category),
and are later collected into galleries organized by the year they joined.
But in the past, their luxuriant flowingness was celebrated in these multi-year galleries.
There are 6 of these early galleries, including this one.

"Dr. Othmar Engelhardt cultivated his hairstyle in order to become a "retro"virologist, but ended up in influenza virus research at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology in Oxford instead. He believes that a scientist should be able to perform an unmistakable shake of his head, when asked for his opinion on the newest humbug in the media."

"As a long-haired scientific assistant and doctoral candidate, I would like to be included into your exclusive society.
A comment: The Israeli biologists Amotz and Avishag Zahavi (in their 1997 book The Handicap Principle) argue that having luxuriant long hair pronouces one's intelligence and dexterity, since both are necessary to wear them as an ornament instead of being plagued by them in everyday life." |
