Regarding David Dean, I often see him outside the Emirates, my entrance being next door to the Diamond Club and have had many conversations
with him, If I had a # 1 for every time I've
pleaded with him to come back I'd be rich man, extremely amiable guy, has time for
everybody, be they a Diamond Club member or ordinary fan.
And so he
pleaded with the group of very august scientists to remember that they had some ability to affect and influence people around them to show that, really, science is an open endeavor and that
everybody is welcome to the party and to the discussion.
