      (hmm, just had a look at the other 4 profiles)…

      Well it looks as if I am!

      At least in the sense that we all seem to have had some level of training in the sciences, but I’m the only person who still uses the scientific method to understand the physical world around us.

      However… this is only based on the information provided in their public profiles. For all I know, the other contestants might been keen amateur scientists doing good science in their spare time (just for example, there’s still plenty an amateur can do in astronomy, or computational modelling given a fairly modest sum of money)
