As an actual member of the fashion police- do you people know the difference between being a creator of fashion – vs – a slave of fashion – vs- a victim of it?
1. Mr. Giant Magnetoresistance needs a tie- preferably a shade between the slacks and the jacket.
2. Ms Red Scarf needs a brighter purple blouse, needs to loose the bag thing on her left shoulder and remedy the scarf pulling at the hemline of her garment and to seriously consider a change of hairstyles.
3. The tie is BAD and should be burned, either before or after removing from the wearer. I would recommend a tie with the molecular structure of wine would be a nice touch and dude show the label of the bottle- merchandising is everything.
4. Things are a tad askew, please line up the centers of the garments prior to allowing photography to occur, otherwise massively cool and I would applaud the man who wears that everyday- only if the angles and centers were appropriately placed- tape them if you have to.

All definite Glamour don’ts and should have the identity concealing black bars across their faces.

That has to be one of the greatest hats of all time.

I wish my professors dressed like Capecchi once in awhile. The most exciting outfit I have seen any of them wear was a leather jacket and that was for one day.

Sean and Jennifer,

Don’t let your wedding finery mold away in an attic. As Jennifer’s choice sounds more like a cocktail dress (am I correct?) it could be re-worn together with Sean’s reportedly spiffy outfit for a special ceremony in the future … like … ahem … in Stockholm?

My electricity and magnetism professor for undergrad here at UC Davis (Roderick Reid) has a set of four Peter Pan hats from Disnelyand, each with one Maxwell’s Equation sewed into it. He wore one a day for the last week of class

a guy dresses like a total loser. But he invents a pill that saves millios! I give a hoot how he dresses?

If one of my professors and/or colleagues dressed like that all the time, I would judge it to be awesome.

Again, the Times comes down hard, especially on the hat.

The problem is not that Capecchi is wearing that outfit at the convocation. The problem is that he dresses like this all the time! Some people just have no fashion sense.

Personally, I thought Fert’s sweater-and-jeans ensemble was the epitome of cool. All he lacked was a jaunty neckerchief or something.

Also, WE DON’T YET HAVE THE WEDDING PICTURES! Feel free to send hate mail to our photographer so she gets on the ball.

There’s a lot of media. Some have nothing better to do.

But, you know, speaking of spiffy scientists…WHERE CAN I SEE WEDDING PICTURES?

WHY ARE THERE NO WEDDING PICTURES?

I WILL CONTINUE POSTING IN ASSCAPS UNTIL YOU POST WEDDING PICTURES.

Glad to know the media have nothing else to do beyond critiquing how someone’s striped tie blends in with their shirt.

Oh, and I agree about the hat. The fancy ones aren’t as much used in the US ceremonies, but that’s no excuse to criticize our friends abroad for knowing there is a time and place for everything, including awesomely ridiculous hats.
