Alexander Mastin has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists (LFHCfS). He says:

Having submitted an application some years ago to this prestigious organisation and failing to get in, I have since fastidiously and intensively worked on developing a collection of hair which befits both the Luxuriant Flowing Hair and Luxuriant Facial Hair Clubs (with a provisional application for the Former Hair Club in due course, I am sure). I am a veterinary epidemiologist working at the University of Salford in England, investigating Echinococcus tapeworms in domestic dogs in China and Central Asia. Which basically means I am a professional collector of dog faeces. I like to think that the luxuriance of my hair complements the glamour of my job.

Reese Jenniges has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists (LFHCfS). He says:

I’ve been called ‘hippie’, ‘long-hair’, and most recently, ‘Reezus Christ’, which is tastefully blasphemous.  Most of my work is in data collection, analysis, and management on a menagerie of topics ranging from tobacco research to criminal justice to educational program evaluation.  Nothing rocks like flowing locks, just ask Zepp.

Larissa Unruh has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists (LFHCfS). She says:

It is ridiculously hard being the wearer of such incredibly luxuriant flowing hair.  Not only do I have to deal with the envious stares of those with lesser hair, but I have to spend a lot of time trouble shooting to ensure that my hair remains both optimally luxuriant and flowy.  I am ecstatic to have found a group specifically for scientists, such as myself, who have been endowed with such fabulous locks.  I am currently working as a crystallography research assistant at the University of Oregon studying mutations in a red fluorescent protein called mKeima.  However, I will be shifting my focus, if not my hairstyle, in July 2012 when I start as a research epidemiologist for the San Joaquin County Department of Public Health Services.

Adam Perzynski has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists (LFHCfS). He says:

When I tell people I am a sociologist they say, “You even look like a professor!” Admittedly on occasion I encounter a colleague who thinks I am homeless. A month or so ago I was contemplating dropping these locks, but now that I found out about this club, I am going to hold onto my tremendous mane for the foreseeable future. I am a sociologist at Case Western Reserve University and MetroHealth Medical Center. I am research methodologist who conducts behavioral and social science research in the School of Medicine, but my locks and I flourish most when teaching an undergraduate course I developed at CWRU titled, “Society through Online Video.”.

Diane McCarthy has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists (LFHCfS). Mark McCracken, who nominated her, says:

Diane McCarthy, to whom I have the honor to be married, recently defended her thesis in Biology regarding the phylogeography of Tilia Americana, and then promptly moved to Colorado in search of new challenges. She has presented to wild acclaim at two different Botany Conferences (2009, 2011). She finds her luxuriant flowing hair to be quite useful for storage and indexing of T. Americana samples. She also has a background in Urban Planning, and is interested in integrating the two disciplines so as to help humankind more harmoniously co-exist with nature

Dack Stuart has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists (LFHCfS). He says:

My luxurious, flowing and award-winning hair (2011 Moustachio Bashio winner for “Most creative use of hair”, University of Delaware) often elicits “oohs”, “aahs”, and the occasional “whoa” upon entering a room.  I originally grew it in college because that’s what college-age men do, but I decided to keep it once I noticed the hypnotic effect it has on people.  People often ask for the pleasure of touching my luscious locks, and I need not expand on the effect it has on the fairer sex.  My hair is particularly useful in making up for my inability to grow a luxurious flowing beard, and it really goes well with an outrageous Hawaiian shirt and a lei.  In the world of marine consulting it looks especially dashing when I stand at the bow of ship, though it is often covered by a hard hat.  My luxurious hair is not just for my own glamour: I have donated my hair twice to www.wigs4kids.org and I am currently growing it a third time for donation.

Anneleen Kool has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists (LFHCfS). Allison Perrigo, who nominated her, says:

Anneleen Kool is a systematist, ethnobotanist and future high-throughput next generation cryptozoologist of the highest rank. She has just successfully defended her dissertation at Uppsala University. It has been hypothesized that her long, luxuriant hair is a form of ornamental compensation, trying to make up for the small, scruffy and generally unimpressive group of plants she studies (see Kool et al 2007, Kool et al 2012).  However, as she moves on to work with bigger and more beautiful plants the hair remains.  Some day we hope to discover its true meaning.  Until then we can only gaze in wonder, as (in this photo) we watch the lab coat clad Dr. Kool ride off into the sunset on a camel, luxuriant hair trailing behind her. It doesn’t get cooler than that.

David Jones has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists (LFHCfS). He says:

I grew my hair before becoming a Scientist but know I can’t cut it as it is the perfect length for tying back out of my face in the Lab… and having short hair just isn’t going to work!  I am writing the final chapter of my PhD (on the characterisation of compounds in super-complex mixtures in crude oils) so I’ll soon be showing off my luxuriant locks in other science based establishments, whilst doing my PhD I have been compared to Jesus and Aragorn (I prefer the latter…) The picture shows me applying science to the destruction of sandcastles on Teignmouth beach in South Devon, UK. I hope you accept my application as membership of your club is just the thing that’ll get me the perfect job… (I was once asked if I would cut my hair for a position, I enquired if they would ask a female the same question, they said no and I didn’t get the job!)

Bob Fitzmorris has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists (LFHCfS). Staci Adams, who nominated him, says:

It is with great excitement that I and the other members of the Zhang Lab at the University of California Santa Cruz nominate our fellow lab mate Bob to the prestigious Luxuriant and Flowing Hair Club for Scientists. Bob’s girlfriend Sarah has also been pivotal in assisting with the nomination process. Bob started to grow his hair out just before he started graduate school during the summer of 2008, proclaiming he wouldn’t cut it off until he received his Ph.D. His luxuriant and flowing locks represent nearly five years of growth and are evidence of his dedication to their cultivation and beauty. Bob often comments on the quality time he spends caring for his hair, particularly brushing it. Although it cannot be measured scientifically, Bob’s luxuriant and flowing hair has inspired him greatly in his quest to successfully synthesize quantum dots for solid state applications.

We received this inquiry about the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists (LFHCfS):

gibbonsAre members monitored for continued luxuriance and effusiveness ?

Should  a Hall of Fame be established for those with historical hirsuteness but who have now retired from the club due to reasons either within or without their control.

Yours recedingly (and never previously luxuriant or flowing),

Dr. Simon Gibbons [pictured here]
Mayo Clinic

The answer is no. Membership is permanent (though any member is of course always free to resign and presumably go off to a monastery).

I am a undergraduate at The University of Surrey, which I will graduate from with a degree in Medical Microbiology in June. I have already spent a year working in a lab during my placement year, last year and my current dissertation is to Develop An In Vitro Model of The Chicken Caecum; which if I achieve it, should get me published. I was interviewed for my university to demonstrate biosciences at surrey to prospective students, if you follow the link, me and my luxuriant/flowing hair appear at around 1.40; which should prove my science credentials in a less dry manner than sending in my CV.

I am a scientist at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland but spend most of my time with mammalian species who are defined by their lack of hair. Well nearly.  As a cetacean ecologist with a particular interest in skin condition and how its condition can be used as a remote indicator of health, I am more concerned with the water that flows across the dermis rather than the locks which flow from it.  Nonetheless, a specialist club which combines both hair and science has a tremendous appeal.

I am a roboticist who spends most of his time figuring out how to get robots to behave in an industrial environment in the most efficient way possible. My research gives smarts to many of the traditional robots designed for the automotive industry. Some of the robots I work with are humanoids and are as bald as the Oort Cloud (I love that name), and, perhaps, some day, our research can meld with the Japanese android manufacturers to create handsome coiffed robots!
