Let's talk about Sol Snyder.
Sounds like a really intriguing fellow, and certainly one whose brain you'd like to pick. (So to speak. He's a neuroscientist.)
One thing I'd like to ask someone like Sol, if given the chance: Why is it that people who are tops in their field--whether a neuroscientist, or just really smart, "regular" people--are also some of the most humble and accessible? Some are not, of course. Some of the biggest jerks I know think they know everything. Which I guess is what makes them jerks.
Time and again, I'm amazed that the really smart people who command attention are able to say, "I don't have all the answers. I'm still learning." Internet, who has been such a person for you?
