What scientists are really like- such as my grandpa, aunt and uncle

We all have heard those loudmouth wanna-be intellectuals... but what about REAL scientists?

My Grandpa Lundblad would take us around through the Forest, and he seemed to know every Plant and Tree personally, and to be friends with them. A real spirit of the Forest. A few years ago I learned from my Mom that he studied botany in college. I was surprised- I had no idea you could get that close to the forest by studying in college.

Then it all made sense. My aunt and uncle are scientists too, and my dad is a professor, and they all are down-to-earth wise folks who lead with their heart as well as their brain, with no conflict between the two that I could see. Other true scientists I have heard on TV are like that, too- nothing like the popular stereotypes!

I wanted to share that with you all. I thought it would be a great thing to know.

Have fun!
