It's upsetting to me how society likes to pigeon-hole scientists, like we're all expected to exhibit particular qualities. The TV show "The Big Bang Theory" springs to mind, and it repulses me. It's about as mindless of a show as you can create. If you meet me and inquire as to my profession, and then ask if I watch the show, I've already formed an unfavorable opinion of you. Hell, I don't even have TV. I work with plenty of other scientists who exhibit none of the "stereotypical" geeky behavior. There are a few who have some social awkwardness, but it's the exception rather than the rule. Also, glad to see another physicist (I think?) on Hubski. :)
