My Lady is a scientist. She is fascinated with the mind/matter hookup and investigates how concrete substances that our bodies manufacture impact less concrete things like our moods. Specifically she works in the field of psychiatry.
If I have some Loopy Shit thought she is able to ground me rather quickly, and does so without being an asshole. She also demonstrates in day-to-day life the value of the Scientific Method and how it is a powerful tool with many applications. Debate vs diatribe or decree.
Her work has been cutting edge for the last decade, and she constantly learns new things. A new field of research which cuts across her field of study was brought to her attention a couple of weeks ago when she was giving a talk. Result - she now has a new collaborator in her research who is as excited about what she can bring as she is excited about his work.
Scientific thinking in action - with a net gain for all of us.
I am a Loopy Shit artist type who loves the idea of More Going On Than We Know. I am quite happy to have a genuine scientist ground me when I get a bit "floaty" in my uneducated and flabby thinking.
The people I meet who work with her do not seem to be desperate to be considered scientists. They are too busy working with exciting, concrete questions and results in a very important field. One which will be exploding for the next couple of generations in its import and its influence.
My .02 cents
