    Was a big trekkie/sci fi fan...played online games for 8yrs, know guys who play tabletop warhammer and love to watch programmes regarding chemistry and science (mythbusters counts here too)...so yeah i guess science nerd:D

    Oh yeah i am of the redheaded persuasion;)

    I'm naturally a brunette, but it's currently highlighted blonde - hoping to get an all over auburn colour next week, so I guess I sorta will be ginger then.

    I teach science.

    I used to be auburn (no that's not a fancy word for ginger!) but I've been shaving my head for so long now I'm sure it's mostly gray. The stubble certainly hints at mostly gray!

    Yeah never heard a ginger person say their hair was auburn before. ;)

    I am an electronic & computer engineer, love physics(MMMMM), chemistry(Buckminsterfullerene!) and biology(lesbian sister of maths). Each are used in my course and possible jobs.


    I have brown hair and a soul, thank you very much.

    Interesting poll results, it seems that although ginger is not a pre-requisite for being a science nerd, it is impossible to be a ginger and not a science nerd...

    Excellent observation there you sure you're not a scientist? You should work in epidemiology!

    When did casio start fitting lasers to their calculators? I'm sure that must be against examination regulations... And why do you have a calculator if you don't like the mathsy stuff, eh?

    *uses log tables to extrapolate from quantum theory and disappear*

    Touche! :D Can't believe that thing from quantum leap was just a log table book with christmas lights taped on this whole time! Who woulda thunk it!

    Actually wait a minute algebra doesn't count does it?

    I'm brunette, not in to science really at all although I did start a college course on it only to drop out... taking French and Geoghraphy now. Not really in to trekkie stuff either.


    Guess I'm the exception.

    I was once told that the title 'nutritionist' isnt a protected entity. Therefore im one too.

    I stand to be corrected though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,788 ✭✭✭ztoical


    Hippie artist comic type person here I'm afraid.

    My hair has been ginger as well as several other colours at the same time at one point.
    I was once told that the title 'nutritionist' isnt a protected entity. Therefore im one too.

    I stand to be corrected though

    The term 'dietitian' is protected, the term "nutritionist" is not a legally protected term in the UK don't know about here. That's how the nut job Gillian McKeith can go around claiming to be a nutritionist.
