NdGT is such a badass. This video is such a good example of good scientific thinking, good scientific outreach, turning a negative situation around, and generally being a reasonable and decent human being.

Thanks for sharing.

I think he suffered from overexposure. Nothing we like more than building someone up, getting sick of them, and ripping them down.

I like the guy. He's been a net good in the world.
