Do modern 'scientists' have a name?

Do modern 'scientists' have a name?

Why I ask:
Whether it's Space.com, discover.com, bbc or cnn, online, it seems like all scientists have created a collective link and have lost their identity. Are they Borg?

For instance,
This article declaring the nameless 'Scientists' discover Earth’s ‘Star Trek’-style invisible shield, but the 'scientist's indiviual names are only uncovered later.
http://www.foxnews.com/science/2014/11/27/scientists-discover-earths-star-trek-style-invisible-shield/

Or there's this article on Newsweek which discusses new 3d printed contacts invented by 'scientists', yet strangely not naming the leads and referring to them as a collective team.

Or there's this one about a British-led scientists trial 15-minute Ebola test in Guinea:

And there are hundreds more - all just today…

Do you people understand, psychologically, what this is doing?

I suppose you do.

Is it safe to wear colored contact lenses often?

Is it safe to wear the new silicone hydrogel colored contact lenses from freshlook every single day for about 15 hours straight (basically all day except when sleeping)? What are the long term eye health effects of wearing silicone hydrogel contact lenses so often and so long?

Can i wear circle lenses if i need a prescription?

I'm long-sighted and wear prescription lenses. Is there any way I could wear circle lenses? I want them for cosplay/costumes and stuff. Is there such thing as prescription circle lenses? Or could I just get regular ones and wear them for a day, since my eyesight isn't too bad? Like, i'm long-sighted, so I can see fine. Just not good at things if they're too close to my eyes.

Can I still wear those contact lenses?

I have a really important event tonight and i don't want to go there in glasses. But I haven't worn lenses in about a year and I have the last couple at home. I'm worried what if they are too old. They are due to 12/2015 so it should be ok but I had they with me on a vacation where it was really hot. But they are still unopened and the ''water'' is still there. They are one-day-lenses. The reason why I haven't worn lenses is because the eyes hurt me with them.

Stay with glasses or start contacts?

For the past few days or weeks, i have been thinking about contact lenses. My mom doesn't think I'm responsible enough but she still says we should try it out. I'm really anxious because glasses are okay for me, although they get annoying sometimes. But I'm also afraid of contacts because of their myths and stuff. I'm 14 years old and some of my friends have contacts already. Help?

What would make a good Kuroshitsuji present?

Since christmas is coming up, I want to start a wishlist. I really like Kuroshitsuji and have no idea what would be cool to have. Other than the Ciel contract contact lenses, what could be useful, yet cool at the same time?

P.s. I dont want any cosplaying outfits because that would be a little too much for me O_O Anyways, thanks you guys!

Have extremely high myopia?

I remember it was around 600-700 degrees in nearsighted. It's getting slightly worse over time. I'm 18. Am I going blind?

Left contact lens hurts?

My left eye hurts when I put in my contact lens today. I wore it for the day because the pain wasn't agonizing it was just a slight discomfort. There seem to be no tears and I took them in and out and cleaned them about three times. My monthly expiration is ending on them (I have like a week left). This has never happened to me before. What's wrong? Is it just my eye?

Nerd -styled frames with strong prescription?

I'm gonna be getting new glasses soon. I really like those "nerd" or "hipster" styled glasses with the big thick frames, but my prescription usually ends up with pretty thick lenses.

I'm farsighted and have astigmatism; the sphere for both eyes is around 5.50 or 5.75, the cylinder for both around -2.25 or -2.50, and the axis is about 175 in one eye and 22 in the other.

Would I be able to get the type of frames I like or will they end up being too thick and/or heavy? Should I just keep opting for smaller lenses? Thanks!
