The science has become pop!

This is weirdly awesome. It's the Google Translation of a short web essay by Franco Bolelli. Entitled "Farewell to the scientist with his head in the clouds, now prefer to surf: the science has become pop," the article is pretty awesome, but that's probably in part because it was translated by a bot, giving it a kind of cyber-Italian accent on the screen.

Do you remember the proverbial stereotype of the scientist screwed with his head in the clouds, perched in his laboratory dealing with mysterious formulas? Well, has also done the end of the phone booths or VCRs, finally lost in the stormy ocean of change. Until yesterday discipline austere, cold and distant, now with a sweeping metamorphosis science has made unexpectedly pop, has become warm and communicative, has come humanizing. Do you remember the proverbial stereotype of the athlete strong and beautiful and stupid nerd genius but unwatchable and snubbed by girls? Well, if you recall this is the time to forget it.

Indeed!
