Not to worry. Scientist at work.

Rarely do we MR (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) physicists get let out in public. Normally they keep us confined to the magnetic fields of the MR bays but occasionally we escape.

There was the picnic where we rode vehicular amusement park rides (Think open hatch rocket with wheels and seat belts.) My MR physics colleague and I were the only 2 who rode down the street with our arms outstretched screaming our lungs out. (See that is why they should let us out every now and again to acclimate us to society. Yes there are pictures. No, I'm not sharing.) That one cost us dearly. There were 'Escaped MR Physicist' reward signs tacked up after that escapade.

Yesterday a colleague needed a scan victim... uh volunteer. So I volunteered to enter the MR Chamber of Secrets. I keep jammie pants at my desk for such occasions. (Metal zippers tend to mess with the magnetic field and gradients, hence the jammies.) My visiting colleague also needed to be escorted around the building because of badge access so I helped him out there too...in my jammies. I really should be accustomed to the bemused looks on my co-workers' faces. The other MR physicists however, didn't even bat an eye. They understand. Sometimes scientists wear jammies to work. Nothing to be concerned about. This is "normal" behavior for an MR Scientist.
