He scrounged funds to go to the UK on the promise of asking questions, <a href="http://blog.hotwhopper.com/2014/09/some-sciency-questions-plus-note-on.html#etiquette" rel="nofollow">but squibbed</a>. He only got his "mann"-hood back when he got back home behind his computer.<br /><br />PG, Anthony asks for extra funds each year for AGU. This time the dollars didn't seem to come as thick and fast as in prior years. One time he said he'd take people out to dinner on the extra money. There was no sign that anything came of that promise. Kind of like his taking not inconsequential amounts for his defunct Open Atmospheric Society. That was a couple of years ago, and not a peep in over a year now.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-90994673240932326822016-12-12T20:28:11.456+11:002016-12-12T20:28:11.456+11:00I don't think he'll be doing much stalking...I don't think he'll be doing much stalking. He hasn't got the guts. <br /><br />Sou I think he really craves the company of scientists and those moments are rare in his life. I think he feels important and somehow relevant in their company but I think it's only at conferences that he feels safe. He'd never have the guts to sit down for a one-on-one at Boulder or Penn State. <br /><br />That Bristol Conference and the dinner at Nic Lewis' joint was one the the highlights of his life. Not only was he in the UK he got to genuinely socialise with some heavyweights...and Nic. <br /><br />I note that he lives a brief<i> 2 and a half hour drive</i> out of San Francisco yet this year he's having difficulty scraping the petrol money together from his adoring <i>whatever they are</i>.PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10807913317731807617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-56152467785243087922016-12-12T20:21:01.207+11:002016-12-12T20:21:01.207+11:00Didn't he fly all the way to the UK to in the ...Didn't he fly all the way to the UK to in the end NOT ask any questions at all to Lewandowsky?
