    ugh they're so hard to unionize:(

      Call it forming a guild.

      I'm not kidding, it's a good way to get your foot in the door.

          Do we start turning them on to better fantasy lit before or after the union is formed?

            That's a gradual process that will culminate in a JKR book burning and a conversion to Le Guin and formation of a militant trade union

              I am.

              Most scientists I know don't read fiction. In my workplace, we're like 3/10 for people who read fiction.

                Into HP or Douglas Adams? It's anecdotal but pretty much all scientists (mostly physicists and mathematicians) I got to know closely loved (and occasionally quoted from) the Hitchhiker's Guide. But could just be self-selection of who you want to hang out with 🤷‍♂️

      because we are talking about science I immediately read that as unionize. Damn electrons going around willy nilly.
