Sean
B. Carroll
|
He not only loves his job
in developmental biology, but this casual guy also loves rock n' roll and
dredging for shark teeth. Want to know more about a regular guy who
loves his job?

Anthony
S. Fauci
|
Fauci is one busy
guy! As director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious

Leland
Hartwell
|
This Nobel Prize winner is
all but boring. Hartwell does research on the cell cycle of cancer cells
during the work week and drives his metallic green 1949 Mercury, modeled after
James Dean's car in the movie Rebel Without a Cause, on the weekends.

Stephen
Wolfram
|
Have you ever wanted to
see what a genius looks like? Wolfram was a child
genius, getting his Ph.D. at the young age of 20. He's a complicated
thinker who's mind is involved in complex mathematical equations that he fits
to the biological sciences. Take a look at this article, maybe you are a
genius too!

Elizabeth
Blackburn
|
Not all scientists are
good girls! Blackburn started out her scientific life at an early age,
making small bombs to blow up in the classroom for fun. She uses her
energy is a more constructive way now with her work on telomeres and the
enzyme telomerase.

dream. As the head of the National Science Foundation and boat racer, this woman has a lot to do!

Josef
Penninger
|
Penninger is a soccer
playing, baby-diaper changing, molecular geneticist. How's that for a
combination of skills?! This down-to-earth Austrian thinks of cellular
parts as a combination of Legos. See, science can be simple!

Susan
Lindquist
|
She likes to tango and
give talks about balancing career and family. Lindquist isn't a
socialite by trade. Rather, she is a molecular biologist, geneticist, and
head of a prestigious biomedical research firm.

Tak
Mak
|
Cooking sushi and playing
golf isn't all that Mak can do. He is one of the most cited scientists
of our time and has done some pretty amazing work with mice genetics.
