Top ten things that Life Science researchers would want you to know:

1. Most of us do not work towards developing medicine (to cure/prevent diseases). So avoid asking lame questions.

2. The kind of Science that we do is very different from what is shown in ‘Hollywood movies'.

3. We work very hard and don’t get much in return. So we are basically volunteering for good cause. Keep that in mind and ‘respect’ us.

4. We all know that Cancer and Aids are two top most killers: that does not make all of us know everything about those diseases.

5. We are not bunch of crazy people who has nothing to do other than Science. We do have our lives outside Science.

6. Rather than donating money to build Churches and Temples, fund Science, which will surely take you to heaven.

7. We do not kill animals indiscriminately. We, according to the rules of ethical committees, sacrifice their lives to save your/our lives.

8. Not all of us are going to get Nobel Prize. So stop asking whether our work is worth a Nobel.

9. Don’t believe the scientific news that you read in daily newspapers, they exaggerate our findings.

10. Not all of us are atheistic; so stop seeing us as a ‘threat’ to religion.
