How would you describe a science nerd?
To embrace a cliché, a ‘science nerd’ is an individual with an intense passion and enthusiasm for science. They are typically captivated by subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, and technology, and they relish the opportunity to learn, discuss, and delve into these areas. Science nerds often take pleasure in problem-solving, conducting experiments, and keeping abreast of the newest scientific breakthroughs. Their fervour for science may permeate their hobbies, conversations, and even their humour, frequently weaving in scientific allusions or jokes. They celebrate their zeal for learning and innate curiosity about the workings of the universe.
Here are my gift suggestions for a ‘science nerd.’

Not quite a planetarium projector, but probably a lot cheaper, these galaxy light up marbles are the biz.
