I Effing Love Science

This girl made a FB page to keep track of all the cool science links she ran across, and it's now getting 10k new followers a day.


Standing outside the Museum of Natural History on what may have possibly been the most humid, sticky afternoon of the summer, the 40-something New Yorker with a giant DSLR camera hanging from her neck bubbled over with the emotion of a tween girl at a Justin Bieber concert.

"I f***ing love science!" she screamed as people trickled into a line that eventually grew to wrap around the building.

They were there to meet Elise Andrew, creator of the explosively popular "I F***ing Love Science" Facebook account.

With 6.8 million followers, Andrew wields an influence over the science and fans-of-science communities. However, Andrew, 24, isn't a scientist. She's actually kind of a fangirl herself.

Irreverent? Maybe. But people are learning which can't be a bad thing. Whatever the reasons were for liking science in decades past, there's no reason they can't change. If kids (and grown-ups) think science is effing awesome, that's OK with me.
