Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- Infographics welcome, get schooled.
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

If you see actors and artists which really are scientists, or simply scientists in the real world, you know that you can't suppose nothing by the aspect or how freaky (s)he is.
Dr.Mayim Bialik (Neuro-biology, neuro science)
Prof.Dr. Ville-Petri Friman (Microbiology, Gitarrist and singer of a Death Metal band)
Prof.Dr, Misha Lemeshko (Quantum physik, director of the Lemeshko group, YouTube scientific channel)
etc,
50 cents a computer scientist?Why not? Computer science is almost pretty absurd in movies
How about Dolph Lundgren. The Russian boxer from Rocky 2 has a MS in Chemical Engineering and Fulbright scholarship from MIT.
Danica McKellar (Winnie Cooper from the Wonder Years) has a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Chicago and had graduated summa cum laude from UCLA for her BS.
Those are my favorites.
Rocky 4, but yes
Add Dexter Holland to the list. Lead Singer for the Offspring
And Greg Graffin from Bad Religion.
...and Milo Aukerman (Descendents), who went to college (and became a molecular biologist).
He wanted that suburban home after all.
I would have thought you'd pick the more obvious example of Dexter Holland, from the Offspring, who has a PhD in molecular biology. Apparently the line "Gotta keep 'em separated" from Come Out and Play was inspired by two chemicals that he had to keep separated.
Brian May from Queen has a PhD in astrophysics. He quit his PhD when Queen started seeing success. Went back and finished in like 2007 IIRC.
I guess I should have read a little further down before throwing his name in the pile.
I would also drop this dude, because he's pretty fly (for a white guy); https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexter_Holland
Yeah ok not an educator or a particularly famous name in the sphere, but a PhD don't come for free
This guy too
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_May
True, but I find his narrative arc less compelling
There's tonnes of metalheads in science. It's great. Gives me folks to go to gigs with.
