Or, if you're feeling punny, a Test Tube Babe.

More a staple of movies (especially science fiction), but also appears regularly on TV. When a male protagonist needs to consult with or bring in an expert on some obscure and/or technical subject (poisonous orchids, particle theory, rare diseases, ancient languages, prehistoric sharks, whatever), said expert will turn out to be female, [[HeadTurningBeauty drop-dead gorgeous]], and, at twentysomething, [[ImprobableAge conspicuously too young to have possibly earned the relevant academic degrees or otherwise accrued such expertise]] (often this is {{handwave}}d by mentioning at some point that she was a TeenGenius). Not all of these are required, but the general gist is good enough.

The reason why this trope is popular is because men want a woman who can tell them about [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_point Lagrange points]] and do a lap-dance. Preferably [[GeekyTurnOn both at the same time]].

If the word "model" appears anywhere on Website/TheOtherWiki's entry on their actor, you're definitely dealing with one.

A Hot Scientist is frequently a HotLibrarian as well, and often ends up as a GirlOfTheWeek or TemporaryLoveInterest. She may also be an ActionGirl or ScienceHero in a BadassLongcoat. Alternately, if she's not really a scientist she may be a ScienceHerosBabeAssistant.

Female protagonists, on the other hand, often get saddled with a HornyScientist. This trope seems to be increasingly less AlwaysFemale, however. In [[{{manga}} Japanese]] [[{{anime}} media]], especially the [[{{shoujo}} genres]] [[BoysLove aimed]] at a female audience, expect to see [[PrettyBoy pretty]] [[{{bishonen}} boys]] with [=PhDs=] as well.

Please note that this applies to a character, not simply any hot actor playing a scientist, for the same reason RealLife examples are not listed here. Most actors are [[SexSells "hot" in the first place]], so it usually goes unsaid. You can have an attractive scientist ''without'' their hotness being a plot element in the work — that would ''not'' fall under "Hot Scientist".

!!Examples:
[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* The ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'' series has one of each gender. The first is alchemist Huey Laforet, whose looks are ([[IdenticalStranger quite literally]]) comparable to a {{Bishonen}} TeenIdol despite being a 240-year-old MadScientist. The second is the [[AllThereInTheManual light novel exclusive]] alchemist Renee, who also doubled as Huey's HotTeacher.
* Given the [[Creator/{{CLAMP}} art style]] of ''Anime/CodeGeass'', it's arguable that anyone in the show is technically more pretty than anyone else, but Rakshata Chawla definitely fits the bill, what with her showing off lots of skin, and having an ImpossibleHourglassFigure.
* Bulma from ''Manga/DragonBall''. She is a great scientist with an almost superhuman intellect that uses to create a bounty of useful inventions. But she is also a beautiful girl-woman and provide the {{Fanservice}} part of the show.
* Jotaro Kujo of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' is shown to be no less [[DistractedByTheSexy distracting to women]] as a [=PhD=] marine biologist than he was as a TroubledButCute teenage delinquent.
* ''Anime/KillLaKill'''s, Aikuro Mikisugi is a scientist who once assisted Ryuko's father in researching Life Fibers. Aikuro's ''also'' a [[MrFanservice ridiculously over-the-top fanservice machine]] [[YouCanLeaveYourHatOn who can't keep his damn clothes on]]. The end result is exposition delivered by an eccentric {{Bishonen}} wearing little more than an [[NoShirtLongJacket open lab coat]] and [[LensFlareCensor conveniently-placed lens flare]].
* One plot-arc of ''Manga/TheKurosagiCorpseDeliveryService'' is remembered for two things: its extreme BodyHorror and the guest character of entomologist Reina Gorn, a young [[GorgeousGaijin American]] insect researcher with a massive bosom who wanders round Tokyo in a bikini top, short-shorts and cowboy hat.
* Precia Testarossa of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha''. MadScientist BigBad [[spoiler:and former Chief Engineer of a power plant [[LoveMakesYouEvil before she went insane]]]] whose villain outfit comes with a NavelDeepNeckline and shows off a lot of skin in general. She also looks significantly younger than she really is despite all the stress she has suffered from.
* Jim from ''Manga/MotherKeeper'' is this, despite being the genius scientist in charge of creating the cyborgs that defend heaven's tower, her outfit is basically a corset and a lab coat.
* Aria from ''Manga/RisingXRydeen'' is head lab chief for an organization that deals with superpowered humans. Her attire is a lab coat over a cleavage-revealing crop top and miniskirt. From the start of the series it's shown that she is very attractive as multiple men, including main character, gawk at her.
* In the ''Anime/SailorMoon'' anime, the third season villain Kaolinite, while more of an assistant than a scientist, spent a fair bit of time in a NavelDeepNeckline] lab coat
* Doctor [[ShoutOut Franken Stein]] of ''Manga/SoulEater'' combines this with MadScientist. Despite being CoveredWithScars as well as morally dubious at the best of times, he still manages to have at least one fangirl in-Universe. It's also very heavily implied that most of his female students have crushes on him.
* In addition to the VideoGame examples below, ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' has Professor Ivy. [[WalkingSwimsuitScene She's even introduced wearing a swimsuit to boot!]]
* ''VideoGame/LBXLittleBattlersExperience'' has a few of this. First is Ishimori Rina and the second one is Hiro's mother, Oozora Haruka whom despite being a parent, was rather a hot beauty.
* In the movie ''Anime/MyHeroAcademiaTwoHeroes'', David Shield was a very good-looking man in his youth, and was also All Might's partner during his time in America, helping him by building vehicles and support items to fight crime. His daughter Melissa follows in his footsteps on both counts, being a very beautiful and curvaceous young woman who has devoted herself to building support items for heroes to use.
* ''Manga/ScienceFellInLoveSoITriedToProveIt'': Himuro is a very attractive information science grad student who is almost always seen in a LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine and ProperTightsWithASkirt. Her equally-geeky (and also attractive) love interest Yukimura admits that she is "[[TwentyPercentMoreAwesome 2.5 to 3 times hotter than normal]]" when he sees her in a swimsuit during the BeachEpisode. This is also an {{invoked}} case, since as a child, Yukimura realized that--for all his [[TheSpock spockiness]]--that [[BeautyEqualsGoodness a sharp-looking nerd is more respectable than a disheveled one]], and also taught Himuro than in a ForgottenFirstMeeting when they were kids.
** The other female scientists in the Ikeda lab are also rather attractive, though Ibarada and especially Kanade lean more towards the cute side.
* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' has Ritsuko Akagi, head scientist for NERV and a gorgeous blond with a beauty mark just under her eye Her standard outfit is almost always seen in a LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine, ProperTightsWithASkirt, and a sleeveless shirt with a convenient ring pull zipper. [[WalkingSwimsuitScene She's even introduced wearing a blue one piece swimsuit to boot!]]. Her mother Naoko, only seen in flashbacks, certainly counted as well.

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'': Dr. Betty Swanson is an AIM agent who is a biologist. Her outfits scream cheesecake, including her AIM Uniform.
* Maxine in ''ComicBook/SinCity'' is your standard Sin City woman with large breasts and is an evil scientist working for an assassin's guild to boot.
* ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMarvel'': Josie Beller, a.k.a. Circuit-Breaker, was hired by G.B. Blackrock right out of high school to design what was then the world's most advanced automated deep-sea oil rig. When that was destroyed, and she herself paralyzed, by a Decepticon attack, she designed and built for herself a suit of {{Stripperiffic}} cybernetic PowerArmor so that [[KnightTemplar she could]] [[VanHelsingHateCrimes fight the Transformers]]. She was also the primary, and almost the only source of FanService in the whole comic.
* ''ComicBook/{{Viz}}'' featured a spoof science column by their sexy scientist Dr Verushka Vavavoom. She had a habit of spilling chemicals over herself while writing the column, and then asking the readers to hep her out of her wet clothes. But they'd have to promise not to look....
* ComicBook/PoisonIvy, one of the most famous Franchise/{{Batman}} [[RoguesGallery rogues]], is a botanist and no matter what artistic depiction she is given, she is always considered very attractive. She looks great even in a [[https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/10/107617/4850121-12104974_735160949922497_490994365_n.jpg labcoat.]]
* Barry Allen from Franchise/TheFlash is a very good looking forensic scientist. [[http://www.factfiend.com/flash-best-method-hiding-secret-identity/ This article]] from Fact Fiend sums it up best: "he's way more ripped than anyone who works in a lab coat ever deserves to be."
* ''ComicBook/GIJoeARealAmericanHeroMarvel'' gives us Sidney Biggles-Jones, [[MagneticWeapons railgun]] specialist, and Cassandra Knox, roboticist, both known for wearing rather flattering outfits in their service to Cobra.
* ''ComicBook/NewGods'': Orion's wife Bekka is a New Genesis scientist that has the ability to [[LivingAphrodisiac induce love and desire on others with her touch]]. She ends up being attracted to Batman during ''ComicBook/SupermanBatman'' arc "Torment" due to his many similarities to her husband.
* ''ComicBook/TankVixens'' has Dr. Duffelbunny, the bubble-headed "scientist" who prefers to practice her physics in lingerie than in a lab.
* Dr. Sarah Kinney, ComicBook/{{X 23}}'s creator/mother is this, justifying why Laura is TheUglyGuysHotDaughter to Wolverine.
* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'' [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Vol 1]]: Paula von Gunther--a villainous OmnidisciplinaryScientist who quickly switched sides after her daughter was rescued from the Nazis who were holding her hostage--is a tall beautiful woman who often wears short dresses in her laboratory.
* ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'': Despite her airheaded and superficial tendencies, the Wasp still got a double-Ph.D. Lampshaded and mocked where she first distracts the Hulk by flashing her breasts at him despite her educational credentials.
* Stormy Knight the third ComicBook/PhantomLady has a voluptuous figure and revealing outfit just like her predecessors. She also has a degree in quantum physics and helped create her Black Light Ray wristbands unlike other versions of Phantom Lady whose technology was created entirely by others parties.
* ''ComicBook/BigBangComics'': Dr. Victoria Frankenstein, the creator of Super-Frankenstein, is a gorgeous scientist whose usual attire is a formfitting lab smock, miniskirt and high heels. When going out, she favours slinky evening gowns.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* ''Fanfic/GuysBeingDudes'': Arlo claims to consider Professor Willow to have a pretty good ass for his age. Of course, he might just be saying it to {{Troll}} and {{Squick}} out Candela and Blanche, who consider him equivalent to their dad.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Film — Animated]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6'', Honey Lemon is a tall and slender chemist who still wears her hair down and wears super-high platform heels ''while conducting experiments with dangerous chemicals and fire''. And her hero outfit doesn’t deviate from her looks one bit. That's to say nothing of her equally as attractive fellow scientists; tall and muscular Wasabi, curvy Gogo, and PrettyBoy Tadashi. Hell, even [[SilverFox Robert Callaghan]] gets in on it at his age!
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Film — Live-Action]]
* A quintessential example is Kay from ''Film/CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon''. Although a scientist along with the other two, she only gets the odd line talking about scientific theory - and spends the rest of her screen time in a skintight swimsuit and swimming around gracefully in the river. And of course she attracts the eponymous creature and is kidnapped by him.
* From the ''Film/JamesBond'' series:
** In ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'', this concept is stretched to beyond credibility by introducing Dr. Christmas Jones (Creator/DeniseRichards), a twenty-something nuclear physicist with large breasts. Needless to say, she and Bond end up in bed together.
** There was also Dr. Holly Goodhead in ''Film/{{Moonraker}}''. The film ends with her and Bond becoming the first members of the [[ZeroGSpot 100-Mile-High Club]].
*** Memorably mocked in [[Magazine/{{Mad}} Mad magazine's]] ''Film/{{Moonraker}}'' spoof:
---->"Expecting someone?"\\
"No, all us scientists dress in skimpy revealing nightgowns."\\
"But not all of them look like you do. Ever seen Linus Pauling in his nightgown?"
* In the 2007 ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' [[Film/{{Transformers}} movie]], [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Maggie_Madsen the analyst]] who helps decode the alien data probably should do some modeling on the side. Though some might not notice her due to the high competition of Mikaela Banes.
** Interestingly, WordOfGod says she actually DID do modelling work to put herself through college.
* The Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse has plenty, given the number of scientists needed to explain the various bizarre phenomena. Nuclear physicists [[Film/TheIncredibleHulk2008 Bruce Banner and Betty Ross]], astrophysicist [[Film/{{Thor}} Jane Foster]], bio-geneticist [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron Helen Cho]] and [[Series/AgentsOfSHIELD Drs. Fitz and Simmons]] are all portrayed as attractive. [[Film/IronMan Tony Stark]] himself is a brilliant engineer and billionaire [[TheCasanova playboy]].
* In ''Film/FantasticVoyage'', Raquel Welch plays Cora Peterson, assistant to Dr. Peter Duval. She wears a lab coat for perhaps two minutes before spending the rest of the movie in a skin-tight scuba outfit.
* This type of character was a staple of the Attack Of The Killer Whatever "B" movies of the '50s. For example: Joan Weldon's character in the giant-ant classic ''Film/{{Them}}''; the daughter half of a father-daughter entomologist team, the first we see of her is a pair of shapely legs emerging from an airplane hatch.
* In ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'', we have Dr. Carol Marcus complete with a LingerieScene for extra fanservice.
* Marina in ''Film/LocalHero'', who actually has an excuse for wearing a bathing suit in the lab and in the field. PlayedForLaughs, for the most part.
* In ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'', we have the highschool student Gwen Stacy acting as the head intern of one of the greatest scientists in the world. She is of course the only one wearing a mini lab coat, allowing the viewers to [[LegFocus appreciate her legs]].
* In ''Film/FantasticFour2005'', we have the twenty-something Sue Storm acting as a brilliant scientist who is head of the Genetic Department for one of the largest companies in the world. She spends a significant time part of the movie in a skin tight suit and, of course, a [[{{Fanservice}} lingerie scene]].
* ''Film/XMenFirstClass'':
** Dr. Charles Xavier, a geneticist, is a rare male version of the trope. He shamelessly uses his charm, good looks and expertise in his chosen field to pick up women at Oxford.
** Raven Darkholme initially harbours a crush on her foster brother Charles, but her affections are quickly transferred to Dr. Hank [=McCoy=], an engineer and biologist.
* ''Film/TheCreepingTerror'' makes a big deal about how a male scientist is younger than one would expect and attractive.
* ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}'' has Egon Spengler, at least to Janine Melnitz in the [[Film/{{Ghostbusters 1984}} first movie]] and his students/understudies at Columbia University in ''Film/GhostbustersII''.
-->'''Egon''': I think they're more interested in my epididymis.
* Claire Dearing from ''Film/JurassicWorld'' is the park operations manager for the titular park. Over the course of the film, she goes through so much action that by the beginning of the last act, she throws away her white shirt to reveal a very appealing light purple tank top, as the shirt had gotten torn and very filthy.
* Lampshaded in the {{Mockumentary}} ''Film/IncidentAtLochNess'' where the crew is suddenly joined by Playboy model Kitana Baker. In a ''stars and stripes bikini''.
-->'''Creator/WernerHerzog''': This woman walked in wearing a jumpsuit and it said 'sonar operator'... and she did ''not'' look like a sonar operator.
* Elsa Schneider in ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'' fits this trope, though she was more strictly a historian. [[TheMole She doubles as a spy for the Nazis]] and uses her powers of seduction on Indy AND his dad in her scheme to find the HolyGrail.
* In ''Film/GodzillaFinalWars'', soldier Shinichi Ozaki is assigned to bodyguard a professor. At first, he assumes they are referring to a man and chafes at having to escort some old coot around, only for the professor to arrive, Miyuki Otonashi, who in Ozaki's words looks like a model.
* ''Film/IFrankenstein'' has Dr. Terra Wade, attempting to replicate Frankenstein's experiment. Being played by Creator/YvonneStrahovski, she fills out her labcoat quite nicely.
* ''Film/TheCave'' downplays it with Catherine - who does serve as something of a love interest for Tyler - and she's the science person in contrast to the trained divers. In this case her being young and pretty is justified by her being the assistant to the main scientist Dr Nikolai. And she's played by Lena Headey, who was the slightly more reasonable age of 32.
* ''Film/{{Boa}}'': Robert Trenton, a paleontologist played by hunky Creator/DeanCain.
* Subverted and parodied in ''Film/JumanjiWelcomeToTheJungle''. Bethany selects [[GenderBlenderName Shelly]] Oberon as her avatar, thinking that the description "curvy genius" means this trope. She's instead put into the body of Creator/JackBlack.
* ''Film/ShandraTheJungleGirl'': Equal opportunity {{Fanservice}} is provided by Ellen and her boyfriend Cord; the two doctors in charge of the project to investigate Shandra. The hotness is on full display during their sex scene.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* Creator/DianeDuane deliberately played with this, noting in the blurb for her ''Franchise/StarTrekExpandedUniverse'' novel ''Literature/TheWoundedSky'' that the ''Enterprise'' crew are assisted by "a pretty alien scientist". What she conspicuously ''failed'' to note was that K't'lk, while indeed quite lovely, is also [[spoiler:a ''giant glass spider'']].
* The backstory of ''[[http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/world/readfile?fk_files=1531850 Unwise Child]]'' by Creator/RandallGarrett has the robot scientists bring in a child psychologist to help them develop their latest AI. Precocious child, special schooling, early college and doctorate, beautiful skin, curves in all the right places, clear blue eyes, sleek red hair. She is the resident expert on that particular robot, and an assistant to the lead on the project.
* As her name suggests, Laeshana in ''Literature/TheQuestOfTheUnaligned'' is an aesh, and one of their main powers is SuperIntelligence and a gift for invention and innovation. She is also gorgeous and the hero ends up marrying her. Oh, and an aesh's ''other'' major power? ''[[IncrediblyLamePun Pyrokinesis]]''.
* Gender-flipped with forensic scientist Dr. Colin Fibre in Garry Ryan's ''Literature/DetectiveLaneMysteries''. Fibre has NoSocialSkills and no concept of the effect his appearance has on others.
* Linya Tychon from the ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Literature/ForgesOfMars'' trilogy is a Magos of the Adeptus Mechanicus who [[{{Cyborg}} outwardly]] looks like a flesh-and-blood woman due to her preference for subtle augmentations. Roboute Surcouf finds her quite attractive and tries to flirt with her, though she turns him down.
* Jamie Parker of ''Literature/TheFold'' is introduced as head (only?) programmer on the Albuquerque Door project. The protagonist notes her hair color, eye color, and the tight fit of her clothes.
* In Creator/PeterDavid's ''Imzadi'', part of the Franchise/StarTrekExpandedUniverse, the project leader of the science team studying the Guardian of Forever is an Orion female nicknamed "Mary Mac". Having to cope with the prevailing stereotype that all Orion females are ''"animalistic sex kittens"'' (which she admits is not entirely unjustified), she deliberately dresses down in baggy clothes and huge, anachronistic NerdGlasses.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* Mocked on ''Series/ThirtyRock'', when [[CloudCuckooLander Tracy]] tried to cheer [[OnlySaneMan Pete]] up (and possibly tempt him into adultery) by having a party in the office with a number of very attractive women. Upon hearing that he is a TV producer, one of the ladies begins flirting with him and says, "Really? I'm an actress. Did you ever see the movie ''Secret Touchings''? I was a scientist in that."
* ''Series/TheAndromedaStrain'': Played straight with most of team Wildfire being much more attractive than expected from scientists. And by coincidence, all of the hot scientists are the ones present for a {{fanservice}}-heavy DecontaminationChamber sequence, with them all getting sprayed naked in slow-motion, the female showing ToplessnessFromTheBack with gratuitous {{Sideboob}} while the males are shown [[ShouldersUpNudity naked above the waist]] with [[ShirtlessScene dripping chiseled chests]].
* PlayedWith on ''{{Series/Angel}}'' - Fred Burkle is the primary LoveInterest for both Gunn and Wesley (and Willow gets a bit of a crush too), and was a physics student. She's presented as more cute than sexy, although [[ProgressivelyPrettier her wardrobe does receive more attention as episodes go on]]. Lilah parodies this when she dresses up as Fred to mess with Wesley - her outfit is more fetish-like.
* ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'':
** Felicity Smoak in ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', an IT specialist. ''Very'' attractive, even in her glasses, she spends much of her time pining for Oliver before being finally upgraded to his LoveInterest.
** Ray Palmer deserves a mention as well. Ph.D in physics, and stunningly gorgeous as well. Felicity definitely notices.
** Dr. Caitlin Snow in the 2014 ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}'' series, an expert in bioengineering who appears to be way too young for her doctorate. She's fairly attractive. Felicity from ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' also makes an appearance, even showing up to a trivia tournament in a LittleBlackDress. She even shares a kiss with Barry, although they're both pining for someone else.
** An episode of the ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' spin-off gives us Creator/JewelStaite as a cybernetics specialist named Rachel Turner. Ray finds out that she's his [[spoiler:brother's]] descendant.
* Cosmological physicist, Doctor Plimpton (Judy Greer), from ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' easily seduces three of the main characters and tries to start a four-way with them.
** There's also the male scientist, [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter David Underhill]], who works in the same department as Leonard and briefly dates Penny.
** Bernadette who wears normal clothes to work, but in recent episodes wears a lot of fanservicey clothes at home.
* Forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan in ''Series/{{Bones}}'' seems improbably young to be both an internationally known expert and a best-selling author of multiple novels. Bonus: She is also an expert in SpockSpeak. In the original novels, Temperence "Tempe" Brennan is somewhat older and only busts out the SpockSpeak when she actually needs it. Still hot, though. Judging from the author's photo on the dust jacket, this may be TruthInTelevision. It's also Lampshaded once:
--->'''Brennan:''' I don't want to be the "sexy scientist"!
* ''Series/{{CSI}}'' also has a periodic Hot Scientist, a forensic anthropologist that Grissom tries to call in to consult at every available opportunity. Lampshaded in "Two and a Half Deaths". A TV producer who worked with a murdered sitcom actress visits the lab. After seeing several of the team he muses that there might be a market for a show about attractive people working in a high-tech crime lab.
* Science Channel program ''Dark Matters'' had an episode about the quintessential Real Life Hot Scientist, Creator/HedyLamarr. So the biopic goes, [[UnbuiltTrope she aspired to be seen as more than a sexy figure on the silver screen, but the US Navy refused to take her seriously]]. She's been more than VindicatedByHistory, such as with her patent on frequency-hopping commonly cited as the inspiration for tech in modern cell phones.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'' has used this trope multiple times.
** Liz Shaw wears knee-length boots and very short skirts, and also has doctorates in biochemistry and astronomy.
** The Doctor's companion Romana, despite technically being a psychologist and/or historian, fits this trope reasonably well, and her attractiveness is confirmed by [[NonHumanSidekick K9]] and later by the Doctor himself.
** Also, Peri is a botany student and is well known for her cleavage.
** River Song is no slouch in the sciences (she understands the TARDIS' physics) or the looks (she could fell an ox with that cleavage) departments. She has also earned her Ph.D. in Archaeology at the Luna University.
* Subverted with Dr Saunders in ''Series/{{Dollhouse}}''. While played by Amy Acker (who plays Fred above) and naturally beautiful, even with [[GoodScarsEvilScars her recent scars]], it's revealed: [[spoiler: she's actually a Doll called Whiskey who was implanted with the personality of the original Dr Saunders (who was an elderly man) after he was murdered by BigBad Alpha. Since her disfigurement at Alpha's hands made her worthless as a Doll, technically she became the scientist because she was no longer considered 'hot' by Dollhouse standards]].
* In ''Series/EightSimpleRules'', Cate claims she was this in high school: a glamorous AlphaBitch who was also top of the class in astrophysics. As she's played by Creator/KateySagal, the first part is easy to believe. And as an adult, she's now a [[HospitalHottie nurse]], so's the second.
* Several valuable CONTROL-affiliated scientists on ''Series/GetSmart'' (the first we see is the chemist Dr. Steele). This is explained by their cover - they're employed full time as ''showgirls'', and do their real work in a secret lab accessible through the backstage area of a theatre - often while rehearsals or shows are going on that they're ''in''. (The sheer RefugeInAudacity does work: that may be the least-broken cover CONTROL employees ever have in the series.)
** [=KAOS=] defector Dr. Canyon (the inventor of an invisibility serum) is a gorgeous brunette in a short skirt, which causes a MistakenForCheating moment when 99 finds her in Max's apartment.
* The Professor of ''Series/GilligansIsland'' is a rare male example, which the writers seemed to become aware of by the second season, [[ShipTease ship teasing him]] in one episode after another with each of the 3 female cast members and a guest star who fell in LoveAtFirstSight with him.
* ''Series/H2OJustAddWater'' gives us the glamorous Dr. Denman - a slim marine biologist with beautiful blonde hair. It's lampshaded by Cleo, who says she looks more like a model than a scientist. Funnily enough when she turns into the antagonist, the hotness is downplayed, averting EvilIsSexy.
* Subverted in an episode of ''Series/{{Hustle}}'' in which the already-lovely Stacie, when impersonating a professor's research assistant, uses false teeth to give herself an unattractive overbite.
* ''Series/TheImperfects'': Abbi, one of the twenty-something leads, is a student in the field of science the most relevant to the plot and has an unwanted LivingAphrodisiac ability.
* In the second season ''Series/TheManFromUNCLE'' episode "The Nowhere Affair", a THRUSH computer picks an [[BeautifulAllAlong ugly duckling]] sexy THRUSH scientist to seduce Napoleon Solo, in the hopes of reversing the EasyAmnesia that was induced when Solo took "Capsule B" before his capture by THRUSH.
* Abby Sciuto from ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' is one badass PerkyGoth and hot lady who does [[{{Stripperiffic}} not do dress codes]]. She is called into the lab one night dressed as Creator/MarilynMonroe, straight from a costume party... now ''that'' is even hotter.
* ''Series/NeverHaveIEver'': Kamala is a ridiculously gorgeous woman studying to become a biologist.
* ''Series/Numb3rs'' has the very attractive mathematician Amita Ramanujan.
%%* Another rare male example is Mr. Boynton on ''Series/OurMissBrooks'', Miss Brooks' LoveInterest.
* ''Series/PaperGirls'': Adult Tiffany is a very beautiful woman who had gone to MIT, being up on the latest physics theories thus she's unfazed by her younger self traveling through time, saying that it makes sense given wormholes have been theorized to exist and formulates a way that she can go back in time. Younger Tiffany is very impressed by her older self, as are the other girls. It turns out adult Tiffany becomes a pioneering physicist who aids in the invention of time travel with her own research institute.
* On ''Series/QuantumLeap'', the most we hear of Project QL staffer Tina is Al talking about his latest sexual escapade with her. Indeed, when we first see her on screen, she looks and sounds like a typical bimbo. But she's no secretary; she's a Pulse Communications Specialist (whatever that is), and she definitely wouldn't be working there if she was a dummy. And let's not forget Dr. Sam Beckett himself...
* ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'':
** Aunt Zelda. Although her sister Hilda has the more active love life, Zelda attracts plenty of admirers - many of whom are fellow scientists. She also provides more {{Fanservice}} by the way of flattering evening dresses. In this case the endless knowledge of science is justified by her being over six hundred years old.
** Sabrina herself joins the school's science club in the first season. As it's full of nerds, they're initially gobsmacked by a pretty girl being interested in science. Gordy even goes non verbal when Sabrina starts talking to him.
** Libby is a CruelCheerleader and AlphaBitch, and in the same episode gets a spell cast on her that turns her into a geek. Realising she's still Libby Chessler, she joins the science club herself and remakes it into an elite squad like the cheerleading squad. The nerds are initially intimidated by her because of her hotness.
* Dr. Helen Magnus in ''Series/{{Sanctuary}}'' qualifies as well (as Tesla oh so loves pointing out), and completes the effect by often wearing KillerHeels. It helps that she's played by the same Creator/AmandaTapping.
* Samantha Carter of ''Series/StargateSG1'' in "Moebius, Part 2". Jack O'Neill (well, an [[AlternateUniverse alternate]] Jack, anyway) commented that he was definitely not used to such sciencey talk coming out of someone so hot. And she was in battle dress at the time! The "real" Carter didn't qualify nearly as often, since she was also a military officer and therefore spent a lot of time bloody and bruised, but when she did? ''Yowza!''
* Jadzia Dax, though her talents seem to run towards the practical sciences, is nonetheless science-division teal (rather than engineering yellow) in ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine''. She fully embodies the trope, being both physically attractive and (when she wants to be) sexually adventurous, that last being a gift from her (male) predecessor Curzon, who actually went OutWithABang.
** While she's not an accredited scientist, her big brain allows Seven Of Nine to function as ''[[Series/StarTrekVoyager Voyager]]'''s resident theoretical ''and'' applied physicist. Her big...[[UnusualEuphemism tracts of land]], on the other hand, allow her to function as eye candy.
* ''Series/{{Wonder Woman|1975}}'': In "The Pluto Files", Wonder Woman solved math problems on a chalkboard that were stumping the resident aged scientist. The "hot" part...this is Creator/LyndaCarter playing her.
* In Episode 3.12 of ''Series/TheXFiles'', "War of the Coprophages", Mulder meets the charming scientist Dr. Bambi Berenbaum, whom he finds so attractive that he even ignores calls from Scully while in conversation with her. In the end, Dr. Bambi is seen flirting with the elderly, wheelchair-using Dr. Ivanov, both apparently enjoying the other's intellect in an apparent case of ''PairTheSmartOnes''.

* ''Annals of Improbable Research'' has an advice column by "scientist/supermodel" Symmetra.
* ''Magazine/{{Mad}}'' had a parody of the '60s ''Series/ISpy'' show where the agents went to rescue a bikini-girl nuclear physicist from the Red Chinese. When they're informed by the bad guys that the girl they were after wasn't the real physicist, they reply that they knew it all along, because she wasn't sexy enough to be a nuclear physicist on a tv show.

* ''Myth/NartSagas'': Setenaya is equal parts brains ''and'' beauty. The Circassian story "Lady Setenaya and the Magic Apple" shows her conducting experiments in a manner resembling scientific inquiry.

* In July 2012 the European Commission as part of a series of films attempting to encourage more women to consider careers in science published [[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/9349923/Science-girl-thing-video-branded-offensive.html Science: It's A Girl Thing]] which has three sexy actresses flouncing about a laboratory writing equations and playing with the balls from ball-and-stick molecular models coyly, juxtaposed with images of high heels and make-up. It quickly garnered a negative response on Youtube and amongst actual scientists on Twitter and was soon removed.

[[folder: Tabletop Games]]
* ''TabletopGame/SentinelsOfTheMultiverse's'' Tachyon, who's a very attractive woman, and an OmnidisciplinaryScientist.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''VisualNovel/DoubleHomework'':
** Dr. Mosely is the obvious example. When the protagonist first meets her, he immediately starts getting sexual fantasies about her due to his extreme lack of activity during the previous months. Dr. Mosely herself exploits this with an “experimental” therapy she offers him (her breasts are out for the session).
** Daniela could also qualify. She does check both of the basic boxes: she’s fairly attractive, and [[spoiler:she is Dr. Mosely’s research assistant for her experiment]].
* Joining the ranks of Hot Computer Scientists is Kamui from the ''Franchise/DotHack'' series, although she does more exterminating than research... and all we usually ever see is her online avatar, though, in volume 3 of the ''.hack//Legend of the Twilight'' manga, there is a pin-up poster, .hack//Unplugged, showing her and all of the other main characters in real life.
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':
** Dr. Liara T'Soni, who becomes the ''Normandy's'' resident Prothean and archaeology expert and a potential love interest for Shepard. She's of the Asari race, who are considered the most beautiful race in the galaxy.
** ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' introduces Dr. Mordin Solus, who is apparently considered one in-universe. As a Salarian, he has a very low sex-drive, but is nonetheless flattered that multiple species have frequently attempted to hit on him. While Mordin is actually pretty old for a Salarian (they only live to about 40), he doesn't ''look'' much older than others of his kind to human eyes.
** Brynne Cole, Miranda Lawson, Lizbeth Baynham, Rana Thanoptis, Ann Bryson...really, the Mass Effect universe seems to be crawling with attractive female scientists.
* Shalua Rui from ''[[VideoGame/DirgeOfCerberus Dirge of Cerebus: Final Fantasy VII]]'' takes this trope to the point where she looks like a hooker in a white lab coat. In the freezing rain, no less.
* Doctor Kleeya from ''VideoGame/StarTrekEliteForce II''. Even the NPC guarding her door admits that he can't concentrate because of her.
** Maybe because she is a homage to the TOS [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe babes]] (with normal skin though) Kirk used to get involved with. She also wears a specific designed [[TheissTitillationTheory outfit]].
* ''VideoGame/WildArms1'' has Emma Hetfield. Although fashionable since the original game's [[AllThereInTheManual artbooks]], she got a serious upgrade for [[VideoGameRemake Alter Code F]]; the clothes got tighter and briefer, and the game camera [[MaleGaze decided to show her off to best advantage]]. She subverts the ImprobableAge part, being canonically 39 years old, as well as living in a world where academics and engineering are passed down by apprenticeship.
* ''VideoGame/CustomRobo'' has Linda, who wears a short dress and ''fishnet stockings.''
* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'' has Naomi Hunter, who shows off copious amounts of cleavage in her NavelDeepNeckline labcoat. She also has an affair with fellow scientist Otacon (see: NerdsAreSexy).
* In DatingSim ''VisualNovel/ShallWeDateLostIsland'', the men of choice are this.
* ''VideoGame/ShinSuperRobotWars'': [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Eri Anzai]] is the world's foremost expert in ancient relics, and is especially famous for advancing the unique notion that the [[AncientAstronauts Mu and Atlantean cultures were in fact founded by aliens]]. When rescued by the protagonists, they see that Anzai is a stunning beauty even Daimoji is drooling. It's clear enough she's better off in your capable hands than in the clutches of the aliens who pilfered her from Osaka.
* Dr. Catherine Halsey of ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' is noted in ''Literature/HaloTheFallOfReach'' to have been a lovely-looking woman in her younger days.
* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' began featuring these from Generation V onwards, whereas previous generations' professors had {{Geek Physique}}s or were old men. Professor Juniper from ''[[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Black and White]]'' and its sequels is a young, bright woman who wears a miniskirt to lab. Professor Sycamore from ''[[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY X and Y]]'' is a fine-featured, classy-dressed Frenchman. Professor Kukui from ''[[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Sun and Moon]]'' is also young, not to mention tanned and ripped, wears [[NoShirtLongJacket no shirt under his lab coat]], sometimes studies Pokemon moves by ''taking the Pokemon head-on'', and [[spoiler: doubles as a masked wrestler]].
** Even while ''[[VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield Sword and Shield]]'' returns to the "old professor" format with Professor Magnolia, it still makes sure to introduce her granddaughter and research assistant Sonia, who definitely fits the trope, [[spoiler:especially after Magnolia retires and Sonia overtakes her as that region's professor, which also includes wearing an outfit that showcases her midriff]].
** ''Sword and Shield'' also has StatuesqueStunner Oleana, a researcher serving as TheDragon and SexySecretary to [[BigBad Chairman Rose]].
** ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'' gave us not one, but ''two'' examples of this; players of the former get Professor Sada, who dresses up like a NubileSavage (complete with [[BareYourMidriff abs-bearing top]]) under her lab coat, while players of the latter get Professor Turo, who has ManlyFacialHair and wears a tight-fitting body suit under his own lab coat.
* ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'': Robert and Rosalind Lutece were intentionally modeled on the ideals of commercial beauty at the [[TheEdwardianEra turn of the century]]: the Arrow Collar Men and Gibson Girls, respectively.
* Liara of ''VideoGame/WildStar'' is extremely attractive. Just check out those huge, fantastic [[LittleBitBeastly ears...]]
* Once you fulfill certain requirements in ''VisualNovel/AnalogueAHateStory'', you can change *Hyun-ae's outfit. This trope is one of the available outfits.
* Dr. Betty Veronica in ''VideoGame/{{Rampage}}: World Tour''. And how!
* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'' has Edwinna Elbert, the Stewardess of the Ald-Ruhn Mages Guild and researcher of the LostTechnology of the extinct [[OurDwarvesAreDifferent Dwemer]]. She's a Breton with a a pretty and young-looking facial sprite.
* ''Videogame/Prey2017'' has both [[PurelyAestheticGender male and female]] [[PlayerCharacter Morgan Yu]]. The password to their secretary's computer is "0MG!hotboss" (regardless of Morgan's gender).
* ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRogue'' has Hope Jensen, a chemist member of the Assassins that is smart enough to recreate one of Benjamin Franklin's experiments after a seeing it once, and is also [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hope_jensen.png very beautiful]].

* Parodied in the 'Kitten' Story Arc of ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', where the Hot Scientist character Dr. Haute-Sheik was constantly annoyed by people pronouncing her last name as 'Hot-Chick'.
* Amanda from ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', is lusted after by her [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2002-01-26 employer]], [[HornyScientist Dr. Germahn]], and her [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-01-26 lesbian roommate and coworker, Lisa]], but continues to work on getting recognition as a scientist to prove she is not at Germahn Labs just for her looks. She even [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-01-26 formulates ''her own'' shrinking formula]] as part of that effort.
* Dr. Sonya Gannon, from ''Webcomic/{{Tetsuko}}'' is an OmniDisciplinaryScientist who is extremely busty and wears a red mini-dress under her lab coat which shows off a good deal of cleavage.
* Bob's girlfriend [[PunnyName Dr. Jean Poule]] from ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' frequently laments that her career is going nowhere, leaving her stuck teaching Bio 101 in a podunk little community college. But she did perform the experiment which accidentally produced Molly the Peanut Butter Monster. Although she's very pretty and very smart, she frequently gets [[OvershadowedByAwesome overshadowed]] in both areas by hanging around with [[MsFanservice Princess Voluptua]] and [[GadgeteerGenius Molly.]]
** Her ex-boyfriend Slick Simmons is a hunky mad scientist himself. Too bad he's a jerk.
* Osgood in ''Webcomic/StringTheory2009''. And, for some people, Schtein.
* ''Webcomic/SupermassiveBlackHoleAStar'' had [[spoiler: Selenis, an attractive FemmeFatale bounty hunter, being a scientist [[http://smbhax.com/?e=0032&d=0115 centuries ago]] before the destruction of the facility and later rebuild herself a cloning facility. Though her age seems to be catching up with her by [[http://smbhax.com/?e=0014&d=0011 this time]] when she became middle-aged during the failed experiment of her first clone. While her "hot" nature is still preserved from her [[RespawnPoint clones' activation after each death]], she had been working as a mercenary to fund her cloning operation and find a perfect cloning system.]]

[[folder:Web Original]]
* The Literature/WhateleyUniverse has plenty, due to the Exemplar mutant power. In the [[SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy]] workshop there's Delta Spike and Bugs, both of whom are geniuses who happen to be among the hottest girls in a school full of superheroines.
** Jobe becomes one after he accidentally used his Drow serum on himself... er, ''her''self. Too bad it didn't fix her personality. [[ReallyWasBornYesterday Belphoebe]], on the other hand, gets lots of CharacterDevelopment, so she no longer so obnoxious as her mental-template donor, Belphegor.
* ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'' has Carlos, an OmnidisciplinaryScientist who arrives to investigate the bizarre supernatural happenings in the town. He has been described as dark, with beautiful hair (so beautiful, the town's barber, Telly, has a DespairEventHorizon after cutting it), a strong jaw, teeth "like a military cemetery", and a voice "like caramel". Night Vale's local radio host, Cecil, [[LoveAtFirstSight falls in love with Carlos instantly]]. [[spoiler: And as of episodes 25 and 27, Carlos reciprocates. The two are currently married with a son.]]
* In a few episodes of ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick'' Elisa shows up as 'Dr Tease' - who is a parody of this.

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* As shown in the page image, April O' Neil from the 2003 series of ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' was one of these; being the first media adaptation to harken back to her original portrayal in the [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage Mirage comics]] (worked with Baxter Stockman right before he went openly evil), rather than a TV news reporter like [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 every]] [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles other]] adaptation until that point.
* Dr. Vivian Foster from ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' is blond, highly attractive, and very competent. This is used to set up AnAesop when it's revealed that she built a RidiculouslyHumanRobot to front for her because [[SoBeautifulItsACurse she isn't taken seriously as a scientist because of her looks]].
* Dr. Tara Quymn from ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' is a red-headed, beautiful scientist with a sultry British accent researching the cure for cancer in the Amazon Rainforest in the episode "Dr. Quymn, Medicine Woman".
* Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse
** Lampshaded in the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' episode "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueUnlimitedS1E7TheGreatestStoryNeverTold The Greatest Story Never Told]]": ComicBook/BoosterGold saves the world with the aid of a hot scientist, Dr. Tracy Simmons. He immediately states that this is the best possible outcome: the League is currently battling with an evil magician, so he is the only one who'll save the day and get the girl.
* ''WesternAnimation/SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries'' follows the sitcom's lead of making Aunt Zelda a YoungerAndHipper scientist. She has her own laboratory in the house's basement, and is cursed to be in the body of a "young and beautiful" teenager. By witch standards, this is a great punishment; as she and Hilda long to be warty like they used to be.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' has Alistair Smythe, a wheelchair-bound roboticist. Just before he is turned into an incredibly buff mutant monster, it is revealed that he was an incredibly buff scientist when he is shown strapped naked to a mutant-creating machine against his will. He had a six-pack and surprisingly well-developed '''legs'''.
* ''WesternAnimation/EekTheCat'' [[ParodiedTrope lampooned the trope]] in its SciFi parody episode, with Elmo having to choose between the plan of an Einstein-looking super-genius, or the plan of the Bambi twins, who had gotten a B+ in physics. The latter option turned out to be the best course, as the Bambi Twins were in-fact incredibly intelligent and came up with a competent plan to save the day.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' used this trope in the episode "Krusty gets Kancelled". Bart and Lisa are out rounding up various celebrities that Krusty knows to perform in his comeback special and Bart visits the Playboy Mansion to get Hugh Hefner. As they walk and talk Hugh reveals that most if not all of the Playboy Bunnies are scientists and run a laboratory, biosphere, alternative energy research center and desalination plant all on the mansion grounds.
* Much like his movie counterpart above, ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'' has its incarnation of Egon Spengler, at least to Janine Melnitz, at least one MonsterOfTheWeek, numerous students at an all-girls' boarding school... the list goes on.
* L in ''WesternAnimation/MenInBlackTheSeries'', not only her role is expanded from the movies (where she's only a forensic investigator [[spoiler:turn agent at the end of the film and PutOnABus for the sequel]]) to be the full resident scientific mind of the show, she's also turned into a curvy blonde with a sexy voice.
* Professor Venomous from ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'' is a bioengineer with an [[TallDarkAndHandsome attractive design]]. [[http://ryannshannon.tumblr.com/post/164341974959 It doesn't help that this was done on purpose.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/AsToldByGinger'' - the episode "A-Ticket" has Courtney showing Ginger a way of invoking this look when she's partnered with a boy she likes in chemistry. The key is apparently a set of goggles that are more feminine.
--> "See? Gorgeous girl scientist!"
* Doctor Rebecca Holiday from ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'' - She is Providence's Chief Research Officer on Nanites and [=EVOs=] and is one of the smartest characters in the Show. She is also one of the most beautiful characters on the show, even Rex had a crush on her throughout the show.

** It should also be pointed out that there is a dress code and she is expected to follow it. The director actually enforced it in one episode, then Abby complained to Gibbs about said enforcement, the dress code issue was never enforced on her again. Not from within, anyway.

* Given the [[Creator/{{CLAMP}} art style]] of ''Anime/CodeGeass'', it's arguable that anyone in the show is technically more pretty than anyone else, but [[DarkSkinnedBlonde Rakshata Chawla]] definitely fits the bill, what with her showing off lots of skin, and having an ImpossibleHourglassFigure.

* In ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'', we have the highschool student Gwen Stacy acting as the head intern of one of the greatest scientists in the world. She is of course the only one wearing a mini lab coat, allowing the viewers to [[ShesGotLegs appreciate her legs]].

* ''Series/TheImperfects'': One of the twenty-something leads is a student in the field of science the most relevant to the plot and has an unwanted LivingAphrodisiac ability.

** The other female scientists in the Ikeda lab are also rather attractive, though Ibarada and especially Kanade tend more towards {{Adorkable}}.

If the word "model" appears anywhere on Wiki/TheOtherWiki's entry on their actor, you're definitely dealing with one.

* Precia Testarossa of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha''. MadScientist BigBad [[spoiler:and former Chief Engineer of a power plant [[LoveMakesYouEvil before she went insane]]]] whose villain outfit comes with AbsoluteCleavage and shows off a lot of skin in general. She also looks significantly younger than she really is despite all the stress she has suffered from.

* In the ''Anime/SailorMoon'' anime, the third season villain Kaolinite, while more of an assistant than a scientist, spent a fair bit of time in a [[AbsoluteCleavage cleavage-y]] lab coat

* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'' has Naomi Hunter, who shows off copious amounts of AbsoluteCleavage. She also has an affair with fellow scientist Otacon (see: NerdsAreSexy).

[[folder:Podcasts]]
* ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'': in the very first episode, Cecil immediately falls [[LoveAtFirstSight head-over-heels]] for Carlos, a scientist that has just moved to Night Vale to study the strange goings on in town. The two start dating after about a year, and as of the podcast's 10 year anniversary are currently happily married with an adopted son. It also appears that Cecil has a bit of a thing for scientists, with him calling inventor Guglielmo Marconi handsome in an old broadcast shown in episode 67.
