Sounds like quite a few of you want to be inducted into the Science Ninjas …

  • You must respect truth and reason over superstition and ignorance
  • You must love science - any part of it - even if you aren’t a scientist
  • You must fight to spread awareness of the beauty and awe of science and defend its honor whenever needed
  • You must be awesome
  • Being handy with a katana is a plus

Any takers?
