Improbable Research

Evann Souza has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists. Kris Gremillion, who nominated her, says:

Dr. Deborah Pearsall’s hair is both luxuriant and flowing should be clearly apparent from the accompanying photograph. Dr. Pearsall is a world-renowned expert in the field of paleoethnobotany. She and her hair ? a constant companion ? have undertaken numerous research expeditions in Latin America in search of the microscopically sized particles that document the origins of agriculture.

Dylan Tweed has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists. He says:

I started my PhD in 2005, in the field of large scale structure formation. I’m currently working on the semi-analytical galaxy formation model GalICS with the horizon-project french consortium. I don’t know why girls put flowers on my head in spring.
