ScienceBadger gets off the leash

My little brother gave me the nickname. He said I was like a badger. Initially, I did not like being compared to a badger. A short, fat, angry solitary mammal that lives in a hole in the ground. However, over time I came to embrace my 'badgerness' and claim it as my power animal. I invoke the power of the badger into all aspects of my life relentlessly pursuing... well, something profound.
I like science too. I like to think about it. I like to read it. I like to teach it. I like to do it in the lab (Muwahahaha- insert mad scientist laugh here). Many moons ago when attempting to conjure a witty screen name for my first email account I merged science with badger and the ScienceBadger was born!
