badges and things that start with M!
It's kinda nice having drums :) I've now made some thump-thump-noises to accompany Miriam and Martin in their music-making endeavors, and it was very satisfying. If your name doesn't happen to start with 'M' and you'd like to come rock out, we can try that too!

gtv42, a man of both mystery and materials, has presented us with his Science Scouts Badges.
Here are mine!
The "I bet I know more computer languages than you, and I'm not afraid to talk about it" badge.
It could get ugly when two or more of these recipients get together.
The "I blog about science" badge.
In which the recipient maintains a blog where at least a quarter of the material is about science. Suffice to say, this does not include scientology.
The "my degree inadvertently makes me competent in fixing household appliances" badge.
Not necessarily a good thing.
The "statistical linear regression" badge.
We figured that if you actually know what those three words together mean, then you deserve a badge. Statistics rock!
The "non-explainer" badge (LEVEL I)
Where the recipient can no longer explain what they do to their parents.
The "talking science" badge. Required for all members. Assumes the recipient conducts himself/herself in such a manner as to talk science whenever he/she gets the chance. Not easily fazed by looks of disinterest from friends or the act of "zoning out" by well intentioned loved ones.
The "inappropriate nocturnal use of lab equipment in the name of alternative science experimentation / communication" badge.
In which the recipient has "borrowed" scientific supplies for the sake of stealth scientific communication.
The "destroyer of quackery" badge.
In which the recipient never ever backs down from an argument that pits sound science over quackery.
The "I may look like a scientist but I'm actually also a ninja" badge.
Lethal when in combination with the "destroyer of quackery" badge.
The "I know what a tadpole is" badge.
In which the recipient knows what a tadpole is. Basically, an easy way to get a badge that looks a little like the semen one above.
The "somewhat confused as to what scientific field I actually belong to" badge
Also known as the transdiscplinary, interdiscplinary, or intradisciplinary badge..
The "I can be a prick when it comes to science" badge.
In which the recipient can be so passionate about things of a scientific nature, that he/she may appear surly, rude, and/or unpleasant.
The "I'm a scientist who is fundamentally opposed to administrative duties" badge.
Presumably a badge with a consensus even stronger than that seen in the global warming arena.
The "experienced with electrical shock" badge (LEVEL III)
In which the recipient has had experience with the electrical shocking of himself/herself.
