      Yes, but I’m sure I’ve detected an envious look in their eye at how non-conformist we are 🙂

      Yeah I get called a nerd and a geek but I embrace it! I actually refer to myself as a geek quite a lot these days. I know that it’s sometimes meant to be an insult but I’m proud to be a nerd 😉

      Yes but only by friends who are joking around and I can give as good as I get! Plus geek has become quite chique recently so it is suddenly great to be a scientist.
