010.

Ben Oppenheimer gave a talk during the Earth and Space Science Colloquium this morning. He's brilliant. Must be in his mid thirties, but was a co-founder of the first brown dwarf years ago, and has contributed heavily to the detection of exosolar planets. Not to mention he's funny as hell. He works at the Rose Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, so after he built his latest coronagraph (for which they tried to get Corona to sponsor), he wheeled it around the museum after hours and took pictures of it with the dinosaur skeletons and other exhibits. I love scientists with a sense of humor.
