    If you see actors and artists which really are scientists, or simply scientists in the real world, you know that you can’t suppose nothing by the aspect or how freaky (s)he is.

    Dr.Mayim Bialik (Neuro-biology, neuro science)

    Prof.Dr. Ville-Petri Friman (Microbiology, Gitarrist and singer of a Death Metal band)

    Prof.Dr, Misha Lemeshko (Quantum physik, director of the Lemeshko group, YouTube scientific channel)

    etc,

    50 cents a computer scientist?Why not? Computer science is almost pretty absurd in movies

      I would have thought you’d pick the more obvious example of Dexter Holland, from the Offspring, who has a PhD in molecular biology. Apparently the line “Gotta keep 'em separated” from Come Out and Play was inspired by two chemicals that he had to keep separated.

        Brian May from Queen has a PhD in astrophysics. He quit his PhD when Queen started seeing success. Went back and finished in like 2007 IIRC.

      How about Dolph Lundgren. The Russian boxer from Rocky 2 has a MS in Chemical Engineering and Fulbright scholarship from MIT.

      Danica McKellar (Winnie Cooper from the Wonder Years) has a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Chicago and had graduated summa cum laude from UCLA for her BS.

      Those are my favorites.

      There’s tonnes of metalheads in science. It’s great. Gives me folks to go to gigs with.
