Sean, you talk like a politician! Lost sucked and that’s that. I managed to watch two seasons or something like that – and nothing happened! In all that wasted time I could have had a proper life instead!! argh.

SERIOUSLY?

Also Sean, you are represented as devastatingly handsome in the accompanying photo. I find this to be a misreprentation, as you are merely, “cover of GQ” handsome. Out of respect for scientists like Brian Cox who are in fact on People Magazine’s Sexiest List, please do not allow photographers to use that fantastic lighting.

Watch out for the CV police!

Sean, there is an error in that interview that you really should correct. It states that you are a “physics professor” at Caltech, whereas according to your CV you are a “senior research associate”. Unless you have recently been promoted, in which case I apologize, you should not allow yourself to be misrepresented as a professor, out of respect to your colleagues who are in fact real professors. To be clear, I’m sure it was an innocent oversight on the part of the New York Times and not a deliberate misrepresentation.

As long as you buy the book, complain all you want! Complainer.

Best of luck with the book; I’m buying a copy. And my comment is not really a “complaint”; I think of it more as a mild corrective + discussion about evolution!
