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.
Gia Milinovich is an American ex-pat, a science groupie and professional dork.
Gia's a TV presenter, enjoys taking photos, is married to physicist Professor Brian Cox and thinks writing about herself in the third person is "cool".
production blog, was involved in the Indy4/Seesmic online junket and originated the 28 Weeks Later
QR Code DVD release. 
I think it would be wonderful to have someone representing science where I not only agree with what they say, but entirely respect and admire the way in which they say it.
While I am glad we have the likes of Dawkins arguing in our corner, I think we also need scientists in the media who can be persuasive simply through their obvious passion for the subject.
Cool, I’ll join that group now!
My ideal replacement for Prof. Dawkins would be Brian Cox sharing the role with Ben Goldacre. The two are made of awesome.

Ben would be crap for the job. He’d make a good prof of the geek understanding of science, though.
