      Well, if you mean things like picking their noses, then the answer is that they’re human beings just like you and so do most things that human beings do – but maybe not the really really stupid things because they’re supposed to be more intelligent.
      If you mean things like medics and biologists dissecting dead bodies and animals, thenit’s yes again, but only for that sort of thing. Most scientists don0t do disgusting things for their work – I for one don’t.

      Don’t think I do anything too disgusting. My partner is a scientist and has to has umbilical chord after babies are born, they look pretty gross!
