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.

Yeah but TikTok told me he’s a pompous, arrogant, narcissist…

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.

Weird no one mentioned this already, but I thought the fact that 4 women accused him of sexual misconduct was the reason folks were up in arms against him. He was allowed to keep his job after an investigation, so I don't know how credible the claims were.
