HOT BABE OF BIOLOGY: JULIANA MACHADO FERREIRA


Ok, dude.

Apparently, all of the world's hottest chicks have been hiding in laboratories.

How is EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE TED TALKERS JUST STUNNING, FOREIGN AND WORTHY OF BEING A SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SWIMSUIT COVER MODEL?

It's not news that Brazilian women have been the fodder for dreams since like... we evolved from monkeys. (Ha! I'm being BIOLOGICAL! Wait... am I?)

The name alone rolls off the tongue like poetry... Juliana Machado Ferreira.

Now, not only is Miss Juliana beautiful and brilliant... but her cause is one which is close to my heart.

I'm an animal lover... and like, I saw that creepy, awesome, new tube-nosed bat/monkey/Yoda creature that they just recently discovered like... I dunno... fluttering through the jungle.
(I imagine it was giving people advice about The Force being with them).
I want those to survive!

Juliana Machado Ferreira wants to "save the world one bird at a time"... and who could ever argue with that?!?!

HOT BABES WITH BONOBOS!:Isabel Behncke Izquierdo



HOLY McRIB SAMMICHES AND ALL OTHER DELIGHTFUL STUFFS!
(McRibs are really good, so like... Holy Them.)

The Hot Babes of Science keep STUNNING ME...
AND WHAT'S SEXIER THAN BONOBOS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

DUDE, THIS ONE IS ON FIRE. SHE'S GOT THE SAME ACCENT AS PENELOPE CRUZ!!!
Check Out: Isabel Behncke Izquierdo!

Ok, YES. YOU'RE RIGHT. I AM JEALOUS OF HER!

SHE IS A PRIMATOLOGIST!
Pretty killer to get pawed on by apes who don't expect anything but SNUGGLES after they buy you a midori sour... (Well, I dunno if they are allowed in bars. According to like 7 jokes they are, so I'm gonna pretend it's fact.)




HOT BABES OF ASTROPHYSICS: LUCIANNE WALKOWICZ




Suffice it to say-

Hot chicks playing with big telescopes are enough to set any soul ablaze.
That said, Miss Lucianne (which is a pretty sexy name, if I may just enter that evidence)
is one adorable star on the rise.
(Oh, shut up. It was punny.)

You see, while I'm doing REALLY important things like... uh... searching for the best lemon icy in town...

Lucianne is helping biologists search for life on other planets.

In her own words:
"I am a Kepler Postdoctoral Fellow in the Astronomy Department at the University of California Berkeley. I study magnetic activity in the atmospheres of cool stars through both observation and theory. In the links above, you'll find information on my current and past research projects, and a list of publications.
I also draw and write comics, and paint."

HOT BABE OF SCIENCE AND FASHION: SUZANNE LEE



Ok.
Meet Suzanne Lee.

I was already sold on the fact that this babe is a HOT MAMA OF SCIENCE...
but when she started in on GROWING YOUR OWN CLOTHES, well, needless to say...
I was floored.

OH, AND SHE'S GOT AN ACCENT (which automatically grants her like 500 thousand more points.
She's like a REAL LIVE BOND GIRL! FTW?!!?!?!?)

GROW YOUR OWN TEXTILES?
WHY, YES PLEASE. THANK YOU:

um.

SHE IS A SMOKING BOMBSHELL OF BRIT BRAINS.

Take a cold shower.
THEN WATCH THIS:

HOT BABE OF SCIENCE IN TRAINING: MIRANDA RUSSO



Lemme tell ya.

Miss Miranda is one of my favourite people to crack a completely offensive joke with.
She's also one of the ONLY people I crack a beer with.

Somehow, between her overall foxy foxiness and my... well, shiny hair... together we are a magnet for all unwanted male attention. (It's sort of terrifying, actually.)

... and somehow, beyond her pristine, gorgeous exterior...
This lass is a friggin' uber genius.

I admit, most of the times when she goes off on tangents about her love of prions... I'm lost.
I've got jokes and I've got words... but that's where I end.

Currently, Miranda is doing research on Leukemia at The University of Rochester.

When she's not talking about things I honestly don't understand, she's talking about things I DO understand... how awesome DINOSAURS ARE. (They are. You know it. Shut up.)

Miranda Russo is on the fast track to being one beautiful scientist... and I'm proud to know her.

You would be too.

HOT BABE OF SCIENCE: NINA TANDON!

NINA THE HOT TAMALE TANDON.
CHECK HER HECK OUT!

First off, let me say that before I even knew that Miss Nina out-scored me in the IQ department by MILES... I knew only this-
That she was friggin' HOT.
That said-
The rest of what she is is something only wizards could have concocted.
(That's right. I said Wizards. Science is big, but only WIZARDS make magic.)

Here, jerks, is a TRUE BABE OF SCIENCE.
A REAL ONE. The genuine article.

A Scientist. A Brainiac. A Knockout.
The kind of "total package" that is only genetically possible in a truly limited number of combinations.

Let us take note of my friend, my inspiration... Nina Tandon.

Technically, Nina is a post-doctoral researcher at the laboratory for stem cells and tissue engineering at Columbia University and a Professor of Electrical Engineering at Cooper Union... but BLAH! Them's a whole lotta words to say what she REALLY IS...
One hot piece of Science Mass.

She could re-wire your home entertainment system into a Deathstar hologram that makes Hello kitty waffles...
and on the same night, hypnotize your puppy, Bio-Engineer you an Ewok, cook you a gourmet meal and revolutionize the mechanisms in your pace maker.

What's remarkable about Nina Tandon (beyond her being something of a human anomaly in her brains, drive and pure physical WooHa!) is that if you know Nina, you would never imagine that she is so many IQ points and accomplishments beyond you.
(Well, not YOU, whomever is reading this... more like... um... me.).

Nina is one of the coolest, most down to earth, HILARIOUS and genuinely decent people I have ever met... and I meet a lot of people.

Not many Professors of Electrical Shennaneganry at Cooper Union will get head butted with you by the late great Wesley Willis... or help you roll Fruit Sushi into the wee hours of the night.

Check out Nina in SCIENCE ACTION!:

Look, I will level with ya.
As a woman of some intelligence... I sometimes feel disappointed in the world I live in.
Women are all too often given far too much merit for ridiculous things... shallow things.
Now, I'm all for staying slim n' trendy... but I feel like sometimes we lack female role models who show young girls that
it doesn't have to BE one or the other... you don't either have to be vapid and beautiful or brainy and homely.
Women like Nina (one of the too few that exist) remind us that it's possible to be EVERYTHING.
To be beautiful, hip, funny, cool, adorable, sexy AND intimidatingly brilliant.

The world needs to know about Nina Tandon.

I know I'm glad I do.

HOT BABES WITH BIG BRAINS!


Ok. Here we go.
First entry in a whole new blog.
Why, you may be wondering?
Well, because I've got some hot friends who are smarter than you... and nowhere to brag about it.
So, I did what any person with this much time on their paws would do...
I created a new blog!
Same abuse of ellipses, but a whole new twist!

You see, THIS BLOG exists to celebrate HOT BABES WITH BIG BRAINS!
Now, yes. You're right. I realized the moment I thought of that catch phrase that the first thing that would come to mind is circus freaks with wet brain... not very hot or very smart chicks.
THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT, THOUGH AND I LIKE THE WAY IT SOUNDS... SO DEAL WITH IT!

So, if you're a nerd who just so HAPPENS to be online, ferociously googling "HOT BABES WITH BRAINS" with his OTHER hand... You'll more likely than not land here.
SOOOO, away we go.
Enjoy.
