Brett Del Buono as Manhattan Project Scientist

Brett Del Buono, from 'Let Me In' to 'Oppenheimer,' as a Concerned Scientist; his face looks like he's mad, but his acting is fire.
Example of how it's used in a sentence:

Person 1: Who's that concerned-looking scientist in Oppenheimer?

Person 2: Brett Del Buono as Manhattan Project Scientist! From vampires to atoms, he's got range.

Unvaccinated Scientists

A large subset of humans who are well researched on the merits of vaccination in midst of global health crisis. They have read in-depth articles on blogs and social media & listened to highly acclaimed comedians, politicians and celebrities
Simran: It is unfortunate ronak has to see so many unvaccinated scientists in office and hospital
Jasmine: Yes, he always encourages them to buy a cemetery plot

scientific theory

Contrary to popular belief, when scientists use the word "theory", they are not referring to conjectures that they have pulled out of thin air and have no data to support such claims. The scientific use of the word "theory" is much different than the colloquial use.

In science, a theory refers to an integrated set of principles that explain and predict events that are observed in the natural world. Theories, in the scientific sense, summarize and explain facts, and imply testable predictions that allow for the falsification of the theory. Theory is vital to scientific endeavour, as it generates hypotheses to be tested, gives direction to research (and even suggests new areas for research), and, if the theory is good, has a high amount of explanatory power without requiring extensive modification to the theory. Theory without data is just conjecture, but data without a theoretical explanation is as good as meaningless to scientific practice.
An example of a scientific theory that is often mistaken as just a "theory" is the theory of evolution. Contrary to common misconceptions, evolutionary biology is one of the most prolific fields in science, with hundreds of thousands of peer-reviewed papers attesting to the theory's veracity, and an ever-increasing body of research.

Other examples include general relativity (yes, gravity is technically "only" a theory), special relativity, atomic theory (yes, atoms are "only" a theory too), and germ theory (the theory that small microscopic organisms are the cause of many illnesses).
