Scientists Are Human

There are two common stereotypes of the scientist. One is of a cold, calculating, individual dissecting animals and mixing smoking chemicals in a lab. The other is of an absent-minded professor in disheveled clothes incapable of dealing with the real world, interested only in matters of the mind. Of course, neither of these is true. In this series, real scientists talk about themselves and their work, revealing themselves to be quite a varied group of extremely interesting and worldly people.
