"Science is too important not to be a part of popular culture" - so so true. Love Brian Cox!
-
What an excellent interview Mr Williams, you let Professor Cox say what he wanted to say and didn't interrupt him all the time or insult the intelligence of your listener as so many interviewers do. A good job well done.
-
I love Brian's enthusiasm for his subject. I can listen to him discuss and describe physics any time.

brian cox is a truly remarkable person. it is interesting to see that scientists are very personable and some of the most humane people there are. they exude a level of kindness that I think is inherent in knowledge making the experience of being human most admirable. they display the nobility of simply being a person

Shit this is so interesting. Fascinating. I need to find a way to start learning more. It almost makes insomnia worthwhile.

That last part about not calling people idiots is clutch! Something I gotta work on.

Yeah we need more science on TV .As a physician I loved that "in biology there is always an exception" :)

I could listen to him talk all day.

Watching this at work on nightshift, a colleague glanced at what I was watching and said " I see you're watching some Cox." Everyone's head popped over their desks like meerkats and I had a hard time trying to explain myself.
