HOT BABE OF HOLOGRAPHY: PATTY RANGEL!

Ok, tech geeks. Hold on to your seats... this one's about to blow your minds.

She's a Laser Geek. She's a Professional Holographer.

She's currently headed to NASA Ames for Singularity U.

You guys hyperventilating yet?

I'm hoping that I can make a personal appeal to Miss Rangel... who happens to be a fine specimen of ACTUAL, TANGIBLE, 3 DIMENSIONAL FLESH... to make me a pet Ewok hologram.

(Oh... If you're reading this Miss Rangel... maybe you can do something about me being locked out of every possible universe in Second Life. Sure, I like to attach penises to my avatar's head and terrorize people with them... but it's lonely floating out there in the great beyond!)

SHE LIKES LASERS!

Patricia Rangel (AV Concepts)

Patricia Rangel received her Master of Fine Arts in Management (with an emphasis in Producing) from CalArts. She has worked extensively in international project management with clients such as the Shanghai World Expo, Centennial Olympic Games, Vancouver Olympic Games, Coca Cola Greater China, ESPN, and the United Nations.

Her work includes experience in fully immersive Virtual Reality, Holographic Projection using Musion, 3D Stereoscopic Projection, Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, Virtual Configurators, Brain-Computer Interface, and Virtual Worlds.

As a professional laser holographer, Ms. Rangel has exhibited her work at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, the Burning Man Festival, San Diego Space 4 Art, Synergy Foundation’s “Art Revelry”, and the CalArts Main Gallery.

During the development of her pre-PhD work, Ms. Rangel collaborated with world-renowned DaVinci Detective and National Geographic Fellow, Maurizio Seracini. The work entailed the creation of a portable color holography system to compliment Seracini’s multi-spectral imaging and art diagnostics. Under UNESCO Ms. Rangel spent five years as a Peace Paint Ambassador for the Art Miles Mural Project “Decade of Peace”. She is the member of the United Nations Association and received official training in Foreign and Humanitarian Affairs via the United Nations Summer Intensive Program at U.N.

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.

http://www.ted.com/speakers/juliana_machado_ferreira.html

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!

http://www.ted.com/speakers/isabel_behncke_izquierdo.html

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.

http://biocouture.posterous.com/

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:

http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/8/view/11565/suzanne-lee-biocouture-growing-textiles.html

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.
