Regarding

"It has been gently suggested to me that I might be a little less didactic and scientific in some of my writing and that I could lighten things up by including occasional personal anecdotes and ideas, just to prove that I am a real, fuzzy human being with whom readers can connect, and not a robot in a white coat. Make it human they say."

I come to Substack for substantial writing by people who know what they're talking about. To those who say "lighten it up with personal anecdotes", there are billions of those pubs on Substack and elsewhere. Please leave the unapologetic experts to do their thing.

Carry on Richard! 👏👏

I guess I was primed to defend good science/scientists since I just published this today!

I came in from sowing kale seeds in the greenhouse, made a coffee and found that article waiting for me. You have just gained another subscriber - that is so well argued. Thank you.
