>Brian Cox, the presenter and avowed scientist,
I think you mean "Brian Cox: Professor of High-energy Particle Physics, member of the High Energy Physics group at the University of Manchester, and the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN (who also presents popular science programmes in the UK)"
I think his career as a scientist deserves a little more recognition than "avowed".
And, as for his career in popular science he has been awarded both a Faraday and a Kelvin prize.
- oneeyedpigeon 12y agoSorry; I have every respect for Brian Cox, unlike others on this thread. I think I'm merely using totally the wrong word.
- sambeau 12y agoSorry; I read "avowed" as a deliberate slur. I suspect some of the negativity about him here must have got to me. For an unknown reason I picked on your comment – I now see there are plenty worse :)
- vacri 12y agoStill, I wish he'd use SI units, instead of things like 'cubic feet'.
