There’s a myth that scientists are awkward, uncoordinated and not athletic. I bet that’s not true & perhaps there’s even an enrichment for people who are good at sports (over achievers in general). If you’re a scientist, did you ever do any sport at a high level? Please elaborate

I used to participate in international karate competitions. On my first day at @DeepMind in 2014 I showed up with a double black eye from a competition 3 days prior (where I got a bronze medal). This meant my @Google employee badge showcased my shiners for the following 4 years.
