I actually feel honoured that he also criticised my own Exploding Custard
science show in the same breath, despite confessing that he'd never seen it.
I guess there are also influential opinion-formers in the USA with similarly
damaging ignorance about informal science education and communication.

Give people facts and you feed their minds for an hour.
Awaken curiosity and they feed their own minds for a lifetime.
