Who is your favorite hot scientist?

I mean a real scientist, or engineer.

I've come up with a list of the three most babelicious biologists (http://freshbrainz.blogspot.com/2006/10/sexy-scientists.html) to me.

Of course, that is not an exhaustive list by any chance.

Do you know any others? Especially if there is a photo link.;)

I think I would have to agree with your selection. One problem though is I wouldn't be able to understand anything about what they do. So the chat up line "So what do you do?" is useless for anything other an a sleeping aid.

do you mean:

So I am delighted to bring to you the Fresh Brainz - Three Hottest Women Of Science!

*drum roll*

Here they are (in no particular order) :












Tara C. Smith : Assistant Professor, Epidemiology, University of Iowa.

Dr. Smith studies microbial pathogens. She is also a prolific science blogger, writing her own blog called Aetiology at Seed scienceblogs, and contributing articles to the Panda's Thumb.









Titia de Lange : Professor, Cancer Biology, Rockefeller University.

Prof. de Lange works on the structure and function of telomeres. She is an elected member of the Dutch Royal Academy of Sciences and has won many awards (such as the Paul Marks Prize for Cancer Research) in her illustrious career.












Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz : Professor, Developmental Biology, Gurdon Institute (Cambridge).

Prof. Zernicka-Goetz studies polarity and patterning in early mouse embryo development. She has numerous superb publications and is an editorial board member of the journal "Cell Fate & Determination".

First one, maybe.

Second one, NO WAY!

Third one, maybe.

Would Kelly Bundy count as a scientist in that episode where she made Al's hair grow longer and turned Bud into a can of Vienna Sausages?

heh! no, she's more of a friend of a friend. i've yet to pluck up courage to contact her without going through my friend. i don't think the first thing i say to her then should be "can i post pictures of you on the internet? they'd be tasteful, honest!" :eek: . haha!:D

Hedy Lamarr.

She invented a scrambled communication system that utilized frequency hopping and was intended to make radio-guided torpedoes harder for enemies to detect or jam. This technique is the basis for the modern spread-spectrum communication technology used in cell phones and wireless networks.

I need to be convinced - she must at least be half as beautiful as the Beautiful Darkness. I'm real picky :D

Of course nobody can actually be as hot as you, it'll be like an asymptote - a mathematical impossibility.

Oh and, do science students count? ;)

It's not a come-on line, my dear. Why, I've simply applied mathematics to describe something that is objectively true! :fluffle:


Oh and, do science students count? ;)

:fluffle:

Sure. But they should be studying some specialized area of science - some amount of geekiness. A general science student doesn't count.

Just so you know Xisla, TBD is going into the same field and is WAY hotter than I am!

In that case I would like add myself to the list. I am a computer science student.

Well, she's more famous as an actress, but that doesn't mean she wasn't also a rather brilliant inventor. (She was the first person who came to my mind, too.) :)

Brian Cox is pretty good looking. (But IMO, the photo in the link makes him look like he's about to spike your drink.)

There was a better photo of him in Cosmos magazine issue 11.

I don't get it. Was that meant to be a play on the word "hot"? Like in the inflationary model of cosmology?

*sigh* You miss the obvious gift, here...

"So, I debate on this forum, and we were discussing the loveliest women in society... and I was wondering if I could use a picture of you..."

(Translation: "I think you are gorgeous, and I want you to know that... but I'm going to pretend it's all in the interests of science"...)

Forget scientists. The list of attractive people possessed of any amount of intelligence is extremely short.
I’m just glad I get along quite well with dumb people.

Of course he's hawt. He's Stephen Hawking, like the smartest guy on the planet.

If the zombie apocalypse hits, he's the one you want on your side.

You're assume one smart guy is better than one 12-gauge.

That's not what Resident Evil taught me. ;)

Mathematical ability does not equal survival skill. In fact, in that wheelchair, he’d be a huge liability.

And she has a boyfriend, goddamn it.

She co-created the Chayes-McKellar-Winn Theorem.
