Fame is not in the cards for most pharmaceutical scientists, but they do have it pretty nice when it comes to piling up points in the karma bank for the work they do. Each day, pharmaceutical scientists are playing a leading role in changing people's lives. They're coming up with the new ways to minimize the twitching and tremors in people with Parkinson's disease.

And maybe their research for the baldness cream will help the 40-year-old bachelor finally get a date.
