i once saw a biologist standing over a dying seal with a clipboard taking notes…
it was just slowly gasping for breath, covered in some decay, baking in the sun…when i walked by again hours later, she was still there, looking amused…

No love for the mad theorists huh? The mad philosophers, linguists, mathematicians, …

They are already mad. Have you met mathematicians?

Mad linguists are just prescriptivists.

So, basically, it’s mad to be outdoors collecting data and not in the lab. Got it ;)

This is a description of all field scientists. They really aren’t that scary.

That’s basically the tv series Eureka

I miss “cosy” sci-fi shows like Eureka.

I really enjoyed it and just reaatched it a year ago. Great show with a unique approach. Sad that there aren’t any current shows that are similar indeed.

Henge from attack on titan is what comes to mind as a crazy field scientist.

This is Tannis from borderlands lmao well the OG borderlands anyways. Tennis never needed to be a full fledged npc, let alone a siren.
This is clearly wrong, all field scientists are mad to begin with

It’s supposed to be to not let AIs use your posts for training. I doubt it actually works tho.
