Perhaps you'd care to do one for the Last Bus Shelter at A938225 (a thriving and growing area of the Guide, unfortunately). It needs something suitably off the wall, and you are a very good artist.

Cheers

Either I look exactly like the stereotypical scientist or you've been stalking me. The resemblance really is uncanny smiley - erm. (Restraining Order to follow).

That chap in that there picture looks very much like a friend of mine, although thinking about it I don't think he uses a lab coat at the moment.

Rather smiley - weird to find him there, especially as he seems to be in his traditional pose.

It IS a nice pic, but I'm rather worried by the implied sexism in it and the front page blurb. Can all female scientists communicate well?smiley - star

I'm not responsible for the front page blurb. I'm a female scientist myself so you can rest assured that this was just a 50% chance smiley - smiley. I'm sure that the facts that (1) science is male dominated and (2) science has a reputation for poor communication skills are in no way related. Ahem.
