  TIP: Since the Ant Researcher guy in the Shalebridge Tunnels area keeps respawning every few days, you could build up your Science skill just by going there and getting that guy's skill book over and over. To make things go faster, wait three days in Megaton (or wherever) and then head right back to the tunnels. If the researcher hasn't respawned yet, leave and wait a day or two more. (Note that he'll always respawn alive, so you'll have to kill him if the ants don't.)
