Sci-Curious


a punning, portmanteau term for those members of the middle-cl-sses who, having reached middle-age and moderate prosperity, have decided to embrace the notion of the “gentleman scholar” and broaden their academic horizons.

dr. a: how’s work?

dr. b: meh.

dr.a: he knows we’re biologists, right?

dr.b: no clue, he’s sci-curious. he thinks we all work in the same lab.
