Looking for Love in All the Wrong Labs?

science connectIf the first thing you think of when you hear the word 'dating' is carbon-14, you really need to get out more and be sure to stop by Science Connection, the singles site for scientists. February's Discover magazine reports on the science dating site founded by Anne Lambert, a wildlife biologist, who started the business when she discovered that the local birdwatching outpost had become a magnet for singles. The site went online in 1995 and currently has 1000-1400 members enrolled at any one time. What makes scientists so different from the general population that they need their own dating site? One Science Connection member, high school biology teacher Elliot Grant, said, "I'm overwhelmed with reasonably intelligent people who ask for my sign or recommend homeopathic remedies. I'm tired of being regarded as weird."
