This is me. You can usually find me staring up at a light pole talking, heckling or cursing at it, and before you know it I'm gone.

Those scientists aren't mad, just dedicated.

Show me a field scientist that is injecting trees with a serum to turn them into sentient carnivores. Or one that is manually digging for uranium in order to fast track the eruption of a volcano. Or the one inventing Godzilla.

Not that pansy shit.

You're walking through the forest, and some guy covered in mud stumbles out onto the cutline, fly bitten, frenzied look in his eye, and a dirty shovel on his shoulder. Oh wait that's just me

Reminds me of the biologist from Annihilation. Time to reread the trilogy I guess.

That's the kind of scientist I want to be. I wish it paid.

There were some geologists (field work by my reckoning) from Massachusetts who went mad after an expedition to the Antarctic. The survivors came back mumbling something about a horrible thing from beyond the mountains.

was that expedition inspired by lovecraft or was lovecraft inspired by that expedition?

The expedition was not real. I was alluding to Lovecraft without naming him.
