Jason Rasgon has joined the Luxuriant Facial Hair Club for Scientists (LFHCfS), a sibling club of the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists (LFHCfS). He says:
I grew a beard in graduate school during fieldwork in Peru and have been too lazy ever since to shave it off. I shampoo it with whatever I happen to be using on my head and trim it every three months when I cut my hair whether it needs it or not. Possessing a beard like mine is a sign of obvious productivity because I can’t be bothered to spend even 5 extra minutes a day to keep it minimally kempt. I’d grow my hair out to join the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists™ but I’m going bald on top, and it would make me look like a degenerate.
