...any scientifically minded types

In biology I studied evolution, anatomy and physiology, cells and genes, and sexuality.

I studied marine biology and got a minor in chemistry and found out after graduation that I'd more likely find a unicorn than a job as a marine biologist.

When I was a kid I wanted to be a marine biologist. Then a primatologist like Jane Goodall. Then a doctor. But, I always did dance and theater and wanted to do that. And play the violin (I don't play that anymore).

I was seven when I chose my career choice but for fun I was also a dancer and an artist. I kept painting and drawing all my life and still do when I can.

Wow!

Oh, I was also into visual arts and The National Art Honors Society. My husband is also good with visual art: drawing, painting, sculpture, giant puppets.

I think the two must go hand in hand. :happy:
If I could, I'd be a scientific illustrator- for fun... but there isn't much need for that anymore.

Yeah, I agree.

I'm a science geek and also do fairly well at math. I work in retail and handle money all day. I was working toward a degree in accounting and computer science, but had to drop out of school for health reasons. I did a work study job as a tour guide at a natural history museum and fossil site while I was still in school. I'm working to get myself back on track.

My wife works as an environmental geologist. One of my best friends is a petroleum geologist. Two of my other best friends are biology professors. I spend most of my free time watching sci-fi and documentaries, or reading about science, technology, and history. I enjoy learning new things. I love games and puzzles like Sudoku, Fill-It-Ins, Cryptograms, Solitaire, etc. I also love places like libraries, museums, and parks. I spend a lot of time contemplating topics like religion and philosophy.

Speaking of finding unicorns..... I'd love to get in a time machine and do Jane Goodall style studies on Ardipithecus ramidus, various Australopithecines and Homo erectus, plus field studies similar to how they study modern hunter-gatherers on Homo heidelbergensis, Homo neanderthalensis, whatever Homo erectus evolved into in Asia and also middle palaeolithic Homo sapiens.

I have a telescope that I peer through occasionally, and I like to apply the brain to solving manufacturing engineering problems and sensing problems. I don't climb, but I like to throw people around twice a week at Aikido. As for the rest, I can make that up as we go along if you want!!

Does a food scientist count? I'm also a Disney geek, not like lanyard wearing at the park, I carry a Dooney purse-but that certainly shows an inclination towards engineering...and food tasting...Physics (Rockin' Roller Coaster). Yes definitely a science-y geek!

Does George Costanza have any place in here with all you marine biologists?

Dude, I can't even finger paint. Unless you count my sad attempt at nail polish....no. Now if you wanted someone who could:
1) Quip along with any line from the last 3 Doctor Who series and
2) Reads Oliver Sacks' Twitter feed and pre-orders all his books because the man is amazing AND
3) Might have only yesterday accurately explained to her husband the entire life cycle of the ant colony currently invading our living room (and making our life....interesting) to my husband without having to crack a book?
Meh, I could be considered science-y-ish.

True confession: I failed Art class in 7th grade. Failed it. I always say that I cannot even draw stick people.

I'm definitely into math/science. I'm a teacher and those are two of my favourtie subjects to teach. Feel free to add me.

Was a physics major in college...does that count? If so, add me!

I'm a chemist who loves cooking food.

No but for reals I am a chemist! Synthetic chemistry, but have moved into the Analytical field (which is a bore..)

I eat mostly Keto or Paleo diets, and only really cycle as exercise so my profile isn't that exciting. Add me if you like!

I was a physics teacher.

...Are there any astronomers, math/science heads, climbers, philosophical or lifelong learner types who would like to accept my offer of friendship?

Sure, I guess I qualify. I enjoy a good astronomy/physics documentary just as much as an episode of "Family Guy". Feel free to send me a FR mentioning this thread.

As for math/science...

Fug. I had to work it out. I vaguely remember how to subnet. 64, 32, 16....

Chemistry & Biology degrees here, with minors in Physics & Music (I had a music scholarship), currently working in Oncology. Love a good dark sky too

Physics and Music? You must tune to A-432Hz. Interesting stuff!
