I went in today to see a prof about attending grad school in January and to make appointments to talk with the other profs. Man alive. It's almost as though they have yearly meetings or something to decide upon a universal dress-code for scientists. If you wish to become a scientist, you will need the following:
1) A pair of huge glasses with some kick-ass thick rims.
2) A collared shirt that you are prepared to wear day in and day out. (No fancy designs either. Let's keep it simple.) If you do not have a collared shirt, a cotton t-shirt will do fine PROVIDED there is some reference to Avogadro's number on there.
3) A repertoire of less than amusing science-related jokes that only other scientists will understand.
4) Pants (arguably).
5) Every Yoda action figure ever made.
I was gonna ask where all the hot chicks were at but the prof I was there to see was a woman and I didn't want to offend her. Not that it will probably matter since it ends up she collaborates with a prof I worked for a couple years ago and did jack **** all for. I knew that was going to come back and bite me in the ass. I did not like that man.
