How do they get funded?

interesting. This is one of them:

Male science nerds likely to be virgins:
"Hmmm, who is most likely to be a virgin, a party-girl, a jock, or a nerd? Think about it. No surprise here; male science nerds between 16 and 25 are the most likely to not have had sex.

At least the study provided some legitimate reasons for this statistic, rather than the typical “nerds are pimply and boring” theories of popular media. The study reasoned that these nerds were the population segment least likely to be in situations where they would meet potential lovers. Apparently, doing homework and going to the library doesn’t help you meet chicks. Hey, at least they’re being productive. Interestingly, female art students were the most sexually active."

I guess I'll do a second undergraduate degree in arts

How about female science nerds?

Obviously further research and an additional grant would be needed to answer this pressing question.

must be done by donations and charity. also the Ig nobel prize will aid in this field of research.
for more information visit the improbable research website (now open access!! ) http://improbable.com/

this study about nerds is true...even if not virgin, they are less sexually active.

I know a guy in our faculty who is 30 and still virgin.

hahaha how do you know these kinds of things about people in your faculty?

How about this as a candidate for strange science



(By the way, not my project despite my username and avatar!)

hahaha, Fig 1 is GREAT!
