BOSTON (AP) - Science is Sexy?

 

A group of Harvard students and scientists aim to show just that during a Valentine's Day bash on Thursday. They it hope will smash stereotypes about people and work often derided as geeky and boring.

 

As part of the "Science is Sexy" party, professors will lecture on the science of attraction, including the mind of a mate and the language of sex.

 

Students will hold a fashion show to illustrate the underpinnings of sexual attraction, including how certain waist to hip ratios signal health to potential mates.

 

One student will saunter in high heels to demonstrate a theory that alluring gaits can be signals of fertility.

 

Professor Marc Hauser told The Boston Globe that he's worried about how it will all come off. But he admits he's "never seen so many jazzed-up students" in his life.

 

Unless there will be a stripper there, I think that those "jazzed-up" students will be in for a big let-down.... <_<

Somehow I don't think this will affect the idea that science is geeky.
