I recently saw Donald at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank. A M A Z I N G. lots of warm-up jazz, then he riffed into it. One after another. WoW. Just like it was in the studio. 14 musicians/singer accompaniment.

gave that up sometime ago. and most of social media

>Sure, but Carl Sagan has been listed as an author in a decent pile of papers even before he was very famous.

sure?

you know nothing my friend, until your name appears in the author line. Amirite?

I know the basics of the process! I'm not a researcher, but I've studied in universities and have many researcher friends and colleagues.

haha ha

you know nothing of the process? I have friends?

please

until your name goes on the author line, you know nothing. IMHO

Sapolsky takes each bioscience idea, presents it (such as Darwin's survival of the fittest) and then explains why its wrong. He has a very nice 24 part lecture series he did while teaching at Stanford. It was fun, I think you may like it.

May I ask you if you've published anything yourself? Do you know what it takes? Do you know how easy it is to be added on to someone else's research when you're popular? May I ask what you know about scientific publication and how it works?

High level research was only one aspect of my response. His strength was in communication to the general public and for that he was unsurpassed. You can't be great at everything. He will be remembered as a great communicator because that he did that most excellently of all the things he accomplished in my opinion.

I told you I liked them. He was a little overblown for his science because he was popular. Popularity matters when it comes to publishing Despite what you may think. As far as Darwin goes, it's interesting to see what Sapolsky thinks of Darwin.

I am not wrong. You don't know what you're talking about. But I know you think you do. I'm a research scientist and I lived through his life. I understand you hate about somebody else who might know a little something so. Strange that you think I'm trying to impress somebody. I have no need for that. I'm just giving you my opinion. It's just one person's point of view.

We was a good communicator. Decent scientist, but no high level research. I liked him.
