I've been listening to scientists prattle on all day and it only reinforces my views that most academics can't speak in public to save their lives. I hate it, but apparently at least I'm entertaining when I give a presentation. These people are… dull. Not only are they boring, they drone on and on and on and make what could be a really interesting topic about as interesting as a rectal enema. My brain shut down about an hour ago and right now, I'm trying to sit quietly and not droll on myself.
