I have quite often been called a nerd, and believe me it was not always meant as a compliment. For some reason those who like in-depth research, details and learning are often called nerds. Personally, I think it is a terrible shame that the expression “nerd” has such a negative connotation and would much rather prefer to use words such as inquisitive minds, intellectually curious people and experts. For isn’t that what we also are? This blog is for those out there who are self-proclaimed, proud nerds who like to be intellectually challenged. Welcome to all of you!
