    Awwww. You two are so cute.

  2. I’m stunned - stunned! - as I’ve just read an article on the LHC in this month’s National Geographic and there’s not a single mention of Brian. I thought he was supposed to be running the place. I’m utterly appalled.

    He doesn’t run the LHC - he runs one of the international upgrade projects. BUT what tends to happen is that the National Geographic, being an American magazine, will focus on the American scientists there. A French magazine would focus on the French etc.

    So though there is, apparently, far more press in the UK about CERN and the LHC than anywhere else, and consequently far more of Brian, there are thousands of other scientists from 85 countries working there in many different capacities.

    Brian’s just the coolest. :)

    Actually, I’d say that Britain is the coolest, for having more press about the LHC than anywhere else. Do we really have a national soft spot for Big Science? how awesome is that!?

  • Jonathan Ross on Twitter -

    I've only just noticed that people are looking for Jonathan Ross's Twitter stream via my blog, so thought I'd make it easier. He's here.

    If you missed Brian's Horizon 'Do You Know What Time It Is?' last night, and you are in the UK, it's available on the BBC's iPlayer.

  • The BNP's Membership List -

    In case you've not already seen, the British Nationalist Party's membership list (*edited to add link to new source*) has been leaked online. For non-Brits, this is a White Supremacist "political" party in the UK. Everyone on that list stands for everything I stand against.

  • Brian Didn't Get Dawkins' Job -

    Phew! I can finally say something about this. Brian was up for Dawkins' job, down to the final three (or was it four?!), but didn't get it. And the winner is...

  • Brian Cox For Dawkins' Job -

    A couple people in the comments have said they think Brian should take over from Richard Dawkins when he retires this year. If you're on Facebook, you can join the Brian Cox For Dawkins' Job group. Not started be me incidentally.

  • Observer Article -

    Honestly, this isn't a blog just about Brian. That would be really weird... but... indulge me just a bit longer.

    Some of you may have seen the article about Brian in the Observer today. Now, you guys are intelligent and realise that not everything you read in a newspaper is accurate. This was made absolutely clear to me this morning as I was sitting in my bathrobe, hair all over the place, barefoot, all coffee breath, unshowered and read, "he married his American wife, glamorous TV presenter Gia Milinovich, in secret." :-/

    Ah well...
