His first tweet was dismissive but fair play to him, he listened to what women told him. Fingers crossed being a man of science encourages him investigate further. Also, no telling him to die in a fire, (or at least in the tweers I skimmed) which is nice for him.

His book A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived: The Stories in Our Genes is very good.

Refreshing to see.

Good to see a man listening to women on this issue for a change.

Only ordinary people's thinking seems to travel in this direction. Famous people seem to go the other way (due to what? Threats? Horse's heads? Pressure from their agents?)

Watching with interest.

i like him a lot. glad to see him being sensible.

Yes, Bernard, I love that show too. I am listening to Hannah Fry's book at the moment. Is it too early in the year to give up on my resolution of only women authors this year and buy his? Wink

An apols for my terrible typing in my op Blush

ooh, what's hannah fry's book?

"Hello World, how to be human in the age of the machine". Very interesting (and accessible) discussion of how computing, algorithms, etc are of benefit to us, but their potential drawbacks too. I'm completely untechy and finding it a very easy listen.

I have his book, haven’t started it yet as I had something to finish first, I’m looking forward to it.
