Scientists get lonely too, you know. And with all those late nights in the coldroom, time-points at oh dark hundred, and skipped lunches and dinners because you have to get this PCR on before the seminar starts, it’s difficult to meet that special him or her. Fortunately, help is at hand in the form of Science Connection, a brainy love connection catering to those with a passion for science and nature according to Forbes magazine, because, they say, the
world is a crowded Petri dish, and yet for those of an intellectual bent who happen to be single, it’s not easy, especially past university age, to find that certain microbe for a great symbiotic relationship

I’m somewhat sure I’ve seen that science dating site on The Scientist before, but (marketers will be delighted to hear) I can’t remember if it was an article or an advertisement.
Apparently, we’re partners. Heh. How’s that for match-making? There’s also a piece on lab romance in the archives.
We at symmetry magazine just published an original science fiction story by John Gilbey that features a couple falling in love in the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory main control room:

Enjoy!
Awesome! Thanks for that, Glennda. John is of course well known to us. I have a couple of my own short love stories published elsewhere–ping me if you want to read them.
Love is great feeling of life but it is stupidity that many peoples think Love is only wastage of time, I strongly condemn them. So love for all.It is good article to study and research in gender as well as in old persons.
