You wouldn't, but that's because it's not a science article. It's a pop culture magazine article portraying a climate change researcher as a rock star. There's very little discussion of the falsifiable hypotheses he wants to test - some bits about models, reflectivity, and black microbes is all you get. But biographies are okay, they can help to put a face on things. That said, I didn't find it the most compelling read but the picture of the waterslide was worth it.

You make science fun and exciting, and it draws people in. Not everyone wants to start with all the technical data. Hell, the best scientists understand this.
