UnderWoman and Brian are "of the same school" so to speak:
Each is armed with an impressive array and depth and knowledge in their chosen fields....And those fields range far!
They also tend towards a "selective" daftness that amuses some, befuddles many, and can be downright dangerous to self and others.
For example, UnderWoman manages her own "medical adventure" with the unflinching astuteness of a physician and the prowess of a film producer.
She coalesces and severs medical communities via lectures, stand-up comedy routines and her blog, Trephinations, which drills down on health issues and serves up solutions.
Last week, when her primary care practice had troubles deciphering the extensive blood workup requested by one of her specialists, she got on the Internet and coached the team to and through Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate and the lavender-topped test tube it should be taken in.
But when she bought Pig-It to her PET scan and Hunter to her CAT scan, people wondered....
Likewise, Brian has been lauded for the gene-altering breakthrough that allowed Kandel's lab to induce schizophrenia in mice...thereby enabling researchers to better understand and treat this refractory condition.
Yet all were shocked when he showed up for work one day in full cammo gear, carrying rifles, and announcing that he would be off in search of "big game" over the weekend.
We kind of know what happened next....
