That's what I would call a nerd.

A nerd can call another nerd a nerd.

I'm not a nerd, but life forced me to act as one

I'm such a closeted nerd.

Surgeons are not technicians; they're not mechanics. They're artists. I see patterns where not many other people see patterns. ...I think that's what made me a good surgeon, and now, that's what's making me a good writer.

I'm a synthesizer. We need to synthesize more the relationships between artists and scientists, and men and women.
