It is possible to do something cool and something that furthers science at the same time. Deep down, doing cool stuff is probably why most research scientists exist. Because it isn't for the mad stacks of cash, I can promise you that.

Let the science people do their pew-pew-pew thing with the fancy toys and pretend they're in Star Trek. At least they're enjoying themselves while helping the rest of us out!
