Do Science Scouts have a secret handshake?

After reading DrDrA's post I couldn't resist going over to the Science Scouts site to see what badges I could award myself...



The “I somehow convinced someone to part with a lot of money for science” badge (LEVEL II).


Haven't quite made it to Level III yet...


The “non-explainer” badge (LEVEL I).

It's been this way since grad school. Or even before. I'm trying hard not to earn Level II...


The “has done science whilst under the influence” badge.

Let's be honest now, who hasn't?


The “works with acids” badge.

This one's a bit of a gimme for anyone doing benchwork. Of course I did once dissolve part of a bench using acid...


The “I’ve set fire to stuff” badge (LEVEL III).

I did train as a physical chemist.


The “statistical linear regression” badge.

A necessary evil.


The “I’m a scientist who is fundamentally opposed to administrative duties” badge.

Another gimme.


The “has frozen stuff just to see what happens” badge (LEVEL III).

The irresistible lure of liquid nitrogen...


The “talking science” badge.

Of course!


Now I really should go do some science...

Haha - I've got a couple of those badges too. I'm hoping to put up my list later on today ... when I'm not using state computers ...

That's awesome. LOL

You also blog about science... There's a badge for that too!

I wasn't sure if I blogged enough about science (as opposed to academia) to award myself that badge.
