Rock star physicist

Brian Cox... no, not that Brian Cox, the other Brian Cox... is doing a book launch at the Museum Of Science And Industry.

Insert generic God-as-scientist argument here. Anyhoo, the event is tomorrow (Tuesday) and full details are at http://www.coxforshaw.blogspot.com/.

For fact fiends:

- Brian Cox was in the band D:Ream: his last appearance with them was at the 1997 Labour party conference.

- QI host and professional genius Stephen Fry "can think of no one, Stephen Hawking included, who more perfectly combines authority, knowledge, passion, clarity and powers of elucidation than Brian Cox."

- Brian Cox has amazing hair.

The event also features Jeff Forshaw, who is one of the youngest professors in the UK. I had to mention Jeff, as it seems Brian is nabbing all the publicity, being a pop star physicist and all that!
