<more about this member>
"I am a veterinary scientist who has a passion for long haired mammals. My luxuriantly coiffed clients include Angoras,
both French and English, American Fuzzy Tops, Jersey Woolys and, of course, the Lionheads; all are long-haired rabbit
breeds which are one of my specialist fields. Rabbits are popular pets here in Hong Kong and over the years I have seen
many species, both long and short haired. I am a wearer of long hair and a carer of other long hairs. |

"It is with great excitement that I and the other members of the Zhang Lab at the University of California
Santa Cruz nominate our fellow lab mate Bob to the prestigious Luxuriant and Flowing Hair Club for Scientists. Bob's
girlfriend Sarah has also been pivotal in assisting with the nomination process. Bob started to grow his hair out
just before he started graduate school during the summer of 2008, proclaiming he wouldn't cut it off until he received
his Ph.D. His luxuriant and flowing locks represent nearly five years of growth and are evidence of his dedication to
their cultivation and beauty. Bob often comments on the quality time he spends caring for his hair, particularly
brushing it. Although it cannot be measured scientifically, Bob's luxuriant and flowing hair has inspired him greatly
in his quest to successfully synthesize quantum dots for solid state applications."

"Markus has specialized in causing interference in various settings which he creates in the psychological laboratory.
If not in the lab, he tries to cause an equal amount of trouble by his ragged, mountaineerish appearance that culminates
in his (formerly luxuriant) hairstyle."

"Augusta Ada King (née Byron), Countess of Lovelace wrote the code for Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, and
so is often called the first computer programmer. The computer language 'Ada' is named after her, and she had
a lot of hair! She has inspired a range of computer programmers, steampunk illustrators, and at least one YouTube hair
tutorial. You can purchase an image of her hair, via Reddit."

<more about this member>
"I am a roboticist who spends most of his time figuring out how to get robots to behave in an industrial environment
in the most efficient way possible. My research gives smarts to many of the traditional robots designed for the automotive
industry. Some of the robots I work with are humanoids and are as bald as the
Oort Cloud (I love that name), and, perhaps,
some day, our research can meld with the Japanese android manufacturers to create handsome coiffed robots!" |

"I'm a computer scientist working in the field of Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning. I have been pursuing a
billion-dolar project to design an algorithm that identifies a luxuriant flowing hair from a regular hair in an image taken
at a distance of more than 10 miles, but so far no agency has recognized the important advancement it would be for humanity...
I'll keep trying." |

<more about this member>
"I am a scientist at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland but spend most of my time with mammalian species who
are defined by their lack of hair. Well nearly. As a cetacean ecologist with a particular interest in skin condition
and how its condition can be used as a remote indicator of health, I am more concerned with the water that flows across
the dermis rather than the locks which flow from it. Nonetheless, a specialist club which combines both hair and science
has a tremendous appeal. |

"I work in a startup whose flagship product photographs eyes for screening, in a country with far too few
ophthalmologists: fast (no eye drops), digitally handled and analysed to detect diabetic, hypertensive, etc.,
problems. Mathematics has led me to many interesting places. For the The Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists,
I have attached a scanned photo of myself from forty years ago (I am also notable in the background of the top picture
in the Christopher Zeeman Wikipedia page.)
The other photo is for the Luxuriant Facial Hair Club for Scientists." |

"I am a undergraduate at The University of Surrey, which I will graduate from with a degree in Medical Microbiology
in June. I have already spent a year working in a lab during my placement year, last year and my current dissertation
is to Develop An In Vitro Model of The Chicken Caecum; which if I achieve it, should get me published. I was interviewed
for my university to demonstrate biosciences at surrey to prospective students, if you follow the link,
me
and my luxuriant/flowing hair appear at around 1.40; which should prove my science credentials in a less dry manner
than sending in my CV." |
