Actually, this bio as it is, is slightly backwards. He was originally a physics undergraduate, ended up in D:Ream "by accident" then returned to get a doctorate in the subject. Well, at least according to his appearance in Carpool with Robert Llywellyn. He has definitely been referred to as "the rock star physicist" however, and my partner insists on calling him "Mr I-Love-Physics-Me" and thinks I have a large crush on him... make of that what you will.

Corrections[edit]
