Considering that talking to them or even living with them might get you to the point where they tell you about their science stuff, like what Penny had in "The big bang theory"?
@Niloo My profession is usability engineering, and I tend to apply it on every problem I see, such as the recent corona virus. Such "projects" make me neglect everything around me, like Sheldon in one episode of "The big bang theory" in which he didn't even shave or wore underwear. What I neglect then is the kitchen and other chores.
