This chap was a regular BBC/Guardian go to expert in his field but not for a number of years now. Hmm. Alas for his quite young family, it sounds like he wont see the new year. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Relatively young and suffering from terminal cancer. May make the 2023 starting line so worth a punt in the DDP as he may score a Guardian obit. Sorry (not sorry) if I just revealed someone’s unique pick. I’m retiring from the DDP so I have no cards to hold for next year! My DDP team will be rubbish so will take anything posted on here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,440 Posted December 19, 2022 Well, there's a (cheap) article now: https://www.sapeople.com/2022/12/19/dying-scientists-last-tweet-prompts-outpouring-of-love-and-reflection/ So I guess nobody's unique pick would have been stolen. And not just because he might not see 2023. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
