Behind the curtain, scientists are surprisingly colourful. The world-changing ones are, by definition, anti-authoritarian, risk-taking rebels. The history of science is littered with instances of fighting, disregard of authority, dogged determination in the face of scorn and even that staple of teenage rebellion, wilful intoxication. Such behaviour seems to be inseparable from the creative pursuit of a breakthrough.

Taken from here.

Not sure how I feel about being described as "colorful" (or the British version thereof). I think I'm...flattered, actually.

Yes I'm re-visiting what I'm using my various accounts for. Again.
