Sexy Scientist

Product Information

Felicity Smoak in ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', an IT specialist. ''Very'' attractive, even in her glasses, she spends much of her time pining for Oliver before being finally upgraded to his LoveInterest. Ray Palmer deserves a mention as well. Ph.D in physics, and stunningly gorgeous as well. Felicity definitely notices. Immortal Rain: Dr. Dora Folk - the psychopath scientist that has the looks of a model from one of those advertisements for men's clothing. The Doctor's companion Romana, despite technically being a psychologist and/or historian, fits this trope reasonably well, and her attractiveness is confirmed by K9 and later by the Doctor himself.

Linya Tychon from the ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Literature/ForgesOfMars'' trilogy is a Magos of the Adeptus Mechanicus who [[{{Cyborg}} outwardly]] looks like a flesh-and-blood woman due to her preference for subtle augmentations. Roboute Surcouf finds her quite attractive and tries to flirt with her, though she turns him down. ComicBook/PoisonIvy, one of the most famous Franchise/{{Batman}} [[RoguesGallery rogues]], is a botanist and no matter what artistic depiction she is given, she is always considered very attractive. She looks great even in a [[https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/10/107617/4850121-12104974_735160949922497_490994365_n.jpg labcoat.]] Sometimes childish pin-up posts merit childish responses, but I don't do meta-irony well, if that wasn't obvious. Dr. Catherine Halsey in from the Halo books. Going without her Anime rendition in Halo Legends, we Cortana was made using her brain as a template, and apparently looks like Halsey in her youth. So this makes Dr. Halsey an Omnidisciplinary Scientist that looks like a sixty-year-old, larger, and less transparent-blue Cortana.

All of Dan Brown's female leads are hot scientists. And he will write about it. At length. Whether you want him to or not.

The X-Files — Mulder ran into them on a regular basis (in an oblique way, Scully even fits the pattern), although they also parodied the idea neatly in "War of the Coprophages" when Mulder consulted with entomologist Dr. Bambi Berenbaum. As Scully says: "Smart is sexy." I know that Pepsigate was the trigger for an exodus from Sci Blogs, but it wasn't the sole contributor. I'm left wondering how much of that exodus was a result of a lot of little things like this: like blogging gossip instead of science. Raven from Questionable Content went to college to study physics (ironically, she's been portrayed as a complete ditz so far). She dresses up in a labcoat for lectures because it "feels sciency".

Jotaro Kujo of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' is shown to be no less [[DistractedByTheSexy distracting to women]] as a [=PhD=] marine biologist than he was as a TroubledButCute teenage delinquent. Precia Testarossa of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, though being absolutely evil and insane kinda turns a lot of people off. Well, she's much more normal Hot Mom in Fate's Lotus Eater Machine, so... The fact that there are women who don't think that the world is sexist doesn't eliminate the ones that do. And, more to the point, when the first group are shown a different interpretation of most of the things around them, they tend to agree that they're being discriminated against. The reason that there are a lot of people who don't understand sexism is because our entire culture is sexist. Damned near everything in the media exists with the assumption that men are expected to be strong, and earn the money of a household. Similarly, with the assumption that women are supposed to be over-emotional beings who provide the social care that a family needs. Creator/DianeDuane deliberately played with this, noting in the blurb for her ''Franchise/StarTrekExpandedUniverse'' novel ''Literature/TheWoundedSky'' that the ''Enterprise'' crew are assisted by "a pretty alien scientist". What she conspicuously ''failed'' to note was that K't'lk, while indeed quite lovely, is also [[spoiler:a ''giant glass spider'']].

In ''Film/GodzillaFinalWars'', soldier Shinichi Ozaki is assigned to bodyguard a professor. At first, he assumes they are referring to a man and chafes at having to escort some old coot around, only for the professor to arrive, Miyuki Otonashi, who in Ozaki's words looks like a model.

New in Series

Professor Raine Sage from Tales of Symphonia, who serves the roles of teacher, archaeologist, and technological expert. Claire Dearing from ''Film/JurassicWorld'' is the park operations manager for the titular park. Over the course of the film, she goes through so much action that by the beginning of the last act, she throws away her white shirt to reveal a very appealing light purple tank top, as the shirt had gotten torn and very filthy. In ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'', we have Dr. Carol Marcus complete with a LingerieScene for extra fanservice. The Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse has plenty, given the number of scientists needed to explain the various bizarre phenomena. Nuclear physicists [[Film/TheIncredibleHulk2008 Bruce Banner and Betty Ross]], astrophysicist [[Film/{{Thor}} Jane Foster]], bio-geneticist [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron Helen Cho]] and [[Series/AgentsOfSHIELD Drs. Fitz and Simmons]] are all portrayed as attractive. [[Film/IronMan Tony Stark]] himself is a brilliant engineer and billionaire [[TheCasanova playboy]].
