9 Genius Halloween Costumes For Science Nerds
Nerdy, scary and a little bit sexy.
It's that time of year again. The only time of year in which it is acceptable to leave rotting produce on your front step and send your children out into the night to blackmail strangers into giving them sweets.
If you just can't face going to your next halloween party as one of the Suicide Squad (particularly if you're the token girl of the group, nobody has shorts that small), then why not strike out on your own and find the science inspired costume of your nerdiest dreams?
Granted, you might have to spend a portion of your night explaining what you are, but isn't that preferable to gallons of sticky fake blood and/or the sluttiest outfit you own?
9. Schrodinger’s Cat
I mean, it’s a zombie cat, c’mon.
What better riff on two Halloween classics - the zombie and the sexy cat - than paying homage to science's most famous metaphorical feline?
You can wow your friends and befuddle your enemies by loftily informing them that you're actually dressed as the metaphorical representation of quantum superposition, as put forward by Erwin Schrödinger in critique of the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics.
If that's a bit of a mouthful after one too many helpings of punch, then you can just say you're a zombie cat.
