Based on a somewhat limited response, I may have to design two different shirts. One would be "serious" so PI's could wear it, while the other would be "humorous" so grad students and post-docs and PI's who don't care can wear it. Both will have the worm, front and back. The "serious" one will have some quote on it about worms, perhaps from St. Sydney (sorry, but the Shakespeare and Nietzche are out since they're "old" now). The other "humorous" shirt will have a "Top Ten Reasons To Be A Worm Doc" on the back. If you've got a preference for serious versus humorous, please let me know. To keep the cost reasonable, there would have to be at least 20 orders of each style in order to make two different designs. Right now, only about 2 - 3 people have expressed an interest in a "serious" shirt. The rest of you seem content with the Top Ten approach. I'll finalize the designs by the weekend and post the official announcement and order form to the list. Cheers, Glenn P.S. Still need good "reasons to be a worm doc." If your idea makes the final ten, you can get your shirt at cost+postage. .
