1. Your speech may become incoherent to non-scientists.
These pentaquarks bring physicists to the yard and they're like we get a gold star damn right Pc(4450)+ and Pc(4380)+ both got five quarks
2. And your writing unintelligible.
Daughter (11) reviewed my grant lay summary. Obviously I failed...
3. Things that the rest of the world would ignore will become vitally important to you.
Life with geologists.

6. You may have trouble concentrating on other things.
"how's your day going?" "space" "oh so like-" "-space."
7. Or become unable to participate in society without pointing out its flaws.
Happy leap second day! Humanity's attempts to create absolute systems of measurement are futile! Reality is skewed and uncontainable!!

9. And those experiments won't always go the way you expected.
"um, Dr Schrodinger? I opened the box and, well... we may have a problem"

Proof by Clementine: the surface area of a sphere is 4 pi r^2 (trace around widest part of clementine 4 times)
11. But at least you can use your powers to figure out how to bake the perfect cookie.
More baking powder looks like my ideal cookie. RT @skiingAli: Always wondered! RT @ACSReactions: #chemistry
12. Sometimes you'll find you can say everything you need to with just a few words.

13. Sometimes you'll chicken out of saying what you mean at the last moment.
The four F's.
14. You may find your units of measurement are different from the average person's.
Just realized: your fingernails grow at the same speed at which continents drift. Imagine traveling across the Earth at a nail's pace. Wow.
15. A bad day at work will mean something different to you than it does for most people.
Accidentally glued myself to a crocodile while attaching a radio transmitter. #fieldworkfail

Let's do a science today! (naps count as science)
20. At some point you'll realise that your life goals may need to be adjusted slightly.
I don't aspire to home ownership. I do aspire to Dualit 4 slice toaster ownership.
21. And even if you reach the top of your game, it will feel like people still don't understand you.
