I know someone who got to interview him once. He spent the whole time complaining about how he never wanted to be a celebrity and just wanted to do the science part of the job and that he hated having to do interviews and talk to the public.

They wound up obviously having no good material from the interview and didn’t have anything to run. It was a very “don’t meet your heroes” moment for my friend.

But yeah, according to himself, he DOESN’T want to share science or educate. It’s a burden to him.
