Overview Bikini Science would not be complete if it were not for the contributions of the many happy people who have contribued the contents of their family photo albums to this endeavor. Rich and poor, fat and thin, real people can adopt the most frumpy and the most outrageous costumes. Their sharing of their experiences helps make Bikini Science a product not simply of the styles of media and the visions of the few, but a contribution of the collective.
