I concur. |
Unless you are brilliant and doing it supersecretly.

In regards to everyone saying..."22 year old!", have you ever heard of a genius? a protégé? graduating early? DOOGIE HOWSIER!
c'mon now...think about it.

Doogie Howsier was a character.
I complained because I know that in reality you can't be a scientist at the age of 22. It takes a lot of work and many years of research. Many.
I was kinda hoping for an older character scientist type. Not some "genius" who had connections or whatever and is now a "scientist" at Neutrogena. |

At least in biology, Research Scientists are people with Ph.D's and years of experience. You can't have that by 22.
I've heard of programmers being hired young. But not scientists.

Really guys its not that difficult. It is possible to have a Ph.D at 22. think about it. If you graduate highscool at 14 or 15 it can definitely be done. There are many people all over the world who are accomplishing degrees at very young ages. PhD's do not take a million years to accomplish and if the person is intelligent, naturally scientifically minded, and has good guidance from teachers and professors anything is possible.

If you'd read the entire post, you would see that several of my relatives are scientists that got into research by an early age (27 was the youngest) and were not considered overly spectacular achievers. 22 is possible. Just not usual.

I would also like to add that there are many researchers who make HUGE contributions to their field even in their undergraduate years.
It could be that this Mr. Gilman was in the process of researching something and his experimental results were highly regarded in his scientific field or that they were novel or controvesial....That can put anyone on the fast track...Ive seen it happen with students at my campus.

that happens a lot suprisingly
and so what about the 22 thing. maybe you cant be a super duper research scientist by then. maybe this character can. it's a characterrrrr!!!!!1 they can do whatever they want.
like i bet jonas has the secret ability to fly if he wants

no question.
but i tried to find something on how neutrogena is working on anti-aging. all i found was jennifer garner and "vitamin A is really good for your skin!"... so not much at all.
here's what i'm thinking- our super secret scientist was working as something not that important at the wyman foundation, but learned a lot (because really, 22?). so then he went to neutrogena and said "i know all this stuff about anti-aging. hire me!"
plausible? perhaps...... |
Plausible. I was thinking more along the lines of learned too much and got kicked out then went scrambling for a new job and ended up with neutrogena. |
