No scientists must dress as stereotypical nerds its literally the law.

I assume the sunglasses in her profile picture are prescription/ corrective sunglasses.

Didn't that dude doing the blackhole research end up getting pilloried for wearing a shirt his sister gifted him ?

[-] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 months ago

Context it was aheago (I might have spelled that wrong, at work and can't check) anime fabric, which might be questionable in a professional work environment.

It was distasteful but he didn't deserve what he got. Disgusting how he was treated imo.

[-] jonathan@piefed.social 11 points 2 months ago

What did he get? I was watching the event live at the time and I'm familiar with the immediate aftermath where he apologized and it was largely accpeted. Did he get fired or something?

[-] Reginald_T_Biter@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

He got publicly humiliated and force to apologise. A man working for nasa pushing the boundaries of human knowledge forced to humble himself before a bunch of keyboard warrior puritans.

He was on TV representing NASA in a graphic and lewd shirt. What are you talking about, are you saying that should be acceptable attire? It's not puritan to hold him to a higher standard because he works for NASA.

[-] Reginald_T_Biter@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

As far as I'm concerned it's between him and his manager.

[-] jonathan@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago

Once you go on TV it's a public affair, believing anything else is incredibly naive.

[-] jonathan@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago

Bro did you see the shirt?

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I didn't know scientists would put you in a stockade.
