I assume the sunglasses in her profile picture are prescription/ corrective sunglasses.
Didn't that dude doing the blackhole research end up getting pilloried for wearing a shirt his sister gifted him ?
Context it was aheago (I might have spelled that wrong, at work and can't check) anime fabric, which might be questionable in a professional work environment.
It was distasteful but he didn't deserve what he got. Disgusting how he was treated imo.
What did he get? I was watching the event live at the time and I'm familiar with the immediate aftermath where he apologized and it was largely accpeted. Did he get fired or something?

Could the letter have been written by a thirsty adult?
The gown is reasonably chaste so they'd be thirsting for science rather than the female body. And there's plenty of science communicators who look sluttier yet smart in their presentation.
Some of us thirst for science and sparkles.
i'm not falling for your trap card again. this time you pull my finger
Username checks out I guess?
Do you have any links to these, or names I can look for? I’m genuinely into that sort of social norm bucking, as a comfort-in-skin-over-propriety sort of gal myself, and learning stuff (mostly any science-adjacent stuff) is my special interest - my degree and life focus is in science communication (I can’t help but infodump so I learned how to do it properly!)!
I mean naked news was(is?) super popular; why not fuck-me-branded science?
I might be utterly prude, but the shininess of the exact same clothing has literally zero effect on my hotness meter. I don't even understand why it would.
I have a shiny scale that goes from 0 to 10. 0 is dull, 5 is magpies are actively interested, and 10 is anyone who stares it is irreversibly blind.
Completely off topic, I have a Soulbound character that is an Ogor who wears a ballroom gown because he bounced a fancy party. He took a shin to the all the fancy dresses.
I also had someone at the table play a Tortle in DnD with a bedazzled shell.

Is there a video of this talk? I’d love love love to see it if possible!
I like ladies in sparkly things being smart. I do it sometimes myself, along with bright colors and vivid patterns, and it’s wildly fun! Clothing doesn’t matter, so have fun with it!

Whys this in memes? Its very wholesome! Or is op just being a dick?
There’s nothing that says memes can’t be wholesome
Fair enough
Reminds me of this one time some little girls wrote to me...
Can't put it science, they'll gripe, "Why is this fluff cluttering up my feed?!"
It fits well enough in Science Memes, tho.
Yeah, i dont follow c/science, but id imagine its more for scientific advancement. This def seems like the best community for this meme
"Screenshot of tweet = meme" is probably the thought behind it?
Science memes is more than just memes to make fun of things. It's all things science and fun/wholesome.
