Botanists, you know we love you.

Give me Botany or give me death! Actually on reflection, just give me Botany. Dr M. pursues some extreme Poaceae.

I have always harbored the suspicion that much like other scientists who have spent a lot of time in the field (geologists and anthropologists are the ones I’m most familiar with), you can get some strange ideas into your head at times in order to keep the tedium of field work interesting. Finally, I have my proof that this is indeed true. Rock on you crazy British botanists! You guys made me laugh in your extreme devotion to your studies! ~AR

    British nerds doing science, at least one of whom is rather attractive. This needs more notes.
