Both Jason (TFK) and John (SF) also give E.O. Wilson as the response to Ask a ScienceBlogger. This is kind of disheartening. Can anyone think of another scientist who is plausible and alive? (obviously Carl Sagan would have been a good candidate) I mean, James Watson is an acerbic kook part of the time, Freeman Dyson is a bit idiosyncratic, and Murray Gell-Mann doesn’t cut a wide public profile. Like John Wilson “popped” into my head but I spent 15 minutes thinking of possible second options. For living Americans I came up empty.
