PENKE
"As a long-haired scientific assistant and doctoral candidate, I would like to be included into your exclusive society. A comment:
The Israeli biologists Amotz and Avishag Zahavi (in their 1997 book The Handicap Principle) argue that having luxuriant long hair pronouces one's intelligence and dexterity, since both are necessary to wear them as an ornament instead of being plagued by them in everyday life."
