I don't see how Nell's modeling career has any impact on her ability to perform her job well at Anavex. From what I've read, she studied neurobiology at Tulane. This hardly qualifies her as an expert scientist but her education and experience at Anavex should make her more than capable of holding her own when discussing Blarcamesine.

But let's dive deeper into the more misogynistic element of your post -- that because she's attractive she cannot also be intelligent? The two are not mutually exclusive. She was a college student who is offered a modeling job and it grew into something much bigger than a one-off assignment. Congratulations to her, she found success in a highly competitive industry.

I have a degree from a top-15 university. I also had a job after college that many would consider "beneath" someone who spent 4 years in college. I didn't care what others thought because I loved what I did until I inevitably aged out and had to put my degree to use.

Brian May was the lead guitarist for the biggest band in the world. He's also a respected astrophysicist. David Solomon, aka DJ D-Sol, spins EDM to thousands of ravers at giant club parties across the world, but he also runs Goldman Sachs. The list goes on and on...

There's a reason why being attractive and gregarious is sort of an unspoken requirement for pharmaceutical sales reps. Business development is all about developing relationships -- if anything, Nell's modeling background is interesting and differentiates her from all the other biotech business development executives working for competing companies.
