Heroes of Science Action Figures!!
These heroes of modern science, modeled off of old Star Trek action figures, are AWESOME. Sadly, these are digitally painted, so we can only hold them on our computer screens, and not in our hands.
I know there are a ton of other scientists who could be added to the list (especially more women), but I’m not the one who had to spend hours rendering these, so I’ll just bask in the science-y glory as it stands. Who would you add?
