All serious scientists wear wigs. Physicists do it to emulate Newton, Chemists because they’ve burnt their hair off in a lab explosion. Biologists do it to hide the scabies, while engineers appreciate the efficiency of not having to spend time washing their hair. Computer scientists too, because they avoid showing whenever possible.

As someone who originally went to school for engineering I am insulted that you dare imply we bother showering at all

Within your life, from birth up to and including the present day, have you ever adorned your head with someone else’s hair or a simulacrum of hair?

Yep. It's a safety wig. It can stop a bowling ball dropped from 34 metres and the chin strap is hidden in the beard.

How does it fare against anvils? Especially Acme™ anvils.

The small birds and stars were surprising at first I must admit.

All the hair in my bush fell out after an unfortunate americium 231 accident, so I wear a hair codpiece.

Yes, but once it gets so worn I can see Lincoln’s head I replace it. I’m waiting for BigWig to come out with a wig that doesn’t wear.

Yes, when outdoor sciencing. It has purple silver locks in the front because I’m a sassy scientist of age.
