        @neiltyson You're too rational and fact-oriented to serve on a jury. Which is a rather sad statement about our court system.

        @neiltyson if I were on a jury with you, I'd just ask you questions about space, & vote not guilty if its a non-violent crime.

        @neiltyson do they just see you coming and think, "Oh. No?" Education as a means of circumventing jury duty. Love it.

        @neiltyson I hope they do. I couldn't wish jury duty on you (I'm serving on one now), but the courts needs more smart, rational jurors.

        @neiltyson You don't get picked, you get kicked off. Juries are basically whoever is left. (But if I could, I'd totally pick you.)

        . @neiltyson not a chance. Based on my experience with jury duty, expect early dismissal.

        @neiltyson I've experienced that the more educated or having the appearance of having independent thoughts will prevent your selection.

        Criminal trials are a world of gray, which makes perfectionist scientists like @neiltyson terrible jurors IMO. Still awesome people though.
