      Yes definitely, ALTHOUGH it would be good to have more people out there representing engineering and other sciences – Brian Cox seems to have gotten everyone interested in space, which is fine, but when I was looking through CV’s trying to get a summer placement student ALL the good people wanted to go and work for our space department!!

      I really like Brian Cox and think he does a lot of good stuff, but we really need more people in the media who genuinely are experts in various scientific fields, Brian Cox has done a lot of shows in fields which are not specifically his speciality.
