Me - 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.

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...

Bummer. Sorry to hear that.
Well, Marcus isn’t a bad alternative (despite his ridiculous name) based on what I’ve seen of him on TV; I never missed Mind Games. He’s still no Brian though.
It’s a bummer, definitely, but Brian’s in some ‘interesting talks’ at the moment, so there’s good stuff on the horizon….
Sorry Gia. As Pink says: “So what? {He’s} still a rock star!” Love to both of you!
Hey, there doesn’t need to be just one official populariser of science – we need many! Marcus, Brian … and the rest of us. We’ve all a job to do! Best wishes to Brian.
“Phew! I can finally say something about this. Brian was up for Dawkins? job,”
Just as well. It’s probably one of those be careful what you ask for lest you get it things. I mean who *really* wants to be *the* Atheist Supremacist Spokesperson anyway? Other than that very model of an Atheist Supremacist Dr. Richard Dawkins of course. ;-)
Oh. I see now.
You mean that *other* job of Dr. Dawkins. :-)
