I guess there are many definitions of what constitutes a geek, but it's very clear that there are lots of the gaming/computing/IT variety on here! Nothing wrong with that, but I wonder if there are any of the science variety?

I'm not sure if you'd call it a science (it's normally in Arts, Science and Social Science at university) but I'm an Archaeology geek. "That hat makes you look like you own slaves! ... only you would go to a Goth club wearing a beige hat, and dressed in purple!" | ||||

I always wanted to be a physicist when I gre up, but my maths wasn't good enough. I took my physics knowledge and applied it to photography which is what I do for a living now! | ||||

As the use of the term geek has changed a little to now describing all sorts of enthusiasts e.g. sports geek, there should be plenty on here. Lately I got very interested in quantum physics. The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going, at 66,000 miles an hour, around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be. | ||||

Yes, post grad quals and 20 years work in "science" though mainly biological based and interestingly bearing in mind first reply studying for post grad qual in archaeology Geekiness- undoubtedly. | ||||

The same planet whose population believe that one operating system with so many bells and levels but open to viruses,hackers and intelligence organisations,is okay when there is an operating system,more secure.idiot proof and easy to use is available.Just observation by the way. http://empressm7.uboot.com/ http://www.socialkink.com/empressmartine Vampire, pro/lifestyle ts dom/switch.Ageplay mummy/aunty/AB,medical play,domestic,energy, outdoor specialist."Who you calling"@?!;:$£<Σ#"!"

I've always thought of it as being a science, but one that has one foot in history! So are you a working archaeologist?
Well not studying mathematics/physics further has obviously worked out really well for you because you very clearly have an awesomely creative talent in your photography!
Yeah; I've seen the term 'geek' be used in many different ways. Have you been reading any books in particular?
I did organic chemistry when younger, and I was mostly interested in science at the chemistry/biology interface back then. I'm still interested in the subject, and indeed in all areas of science, but I am now most interested in physics and astrophysics. Edited 15 Jan 12, 11:24 AM by TuvaOrBust | ||||

So I think question answered. There are not just game playing geeks on here but the whole spectrum and I suspect IC does have a diverse population in terms of background and interest bearing in mind the one common theme that brings us together (or not if you read the threads!) KINK  | ||||

*waves* another science geek over here. I have a degree in chemistry and work in a hospital biochemistry lab. I'm currently studying biomedical science modules. I have always had an interest in medical related science and really enjoy the analytical work I do. I marked my geekiness permantly with conical flask tattoos on my hips. | ||||

I also have a degree in chemistry! I did almost follow it with an MSc in Organic Chemistry, but I stupidly dropped out about 90% of the way through the degree to accept a job offer. I've always regretted doing that. Though I don't have any bioscience qualifications, I have studied a fair bit informally, especially in the areas of molecular biology, genetics and evolution. I'm currently working my way through this. I'm also currently studying part-time for two additional degrees: one in physics & astrophysics, and the other in mathematics. As for work: I've never actually been a working scientist, but I am seriously thinking of changing that in 2012!
That is so cool. | ||||
