Difference Between Nerd and Geek

Has anyone written a scientific treatise on the differences between nerd and geek?

On the one hand, I could instigate endless debate about the finer points of nerds.

On the other hand I could construct nerds with a 3-D meat printer.

I can't decide if I'd rather be a nerd or a geek. Maybe I'm a neek? Or a gerd?

Gerd is a female name where I'm from. You should stick with neek.
