4/26 - Jeremy Jackson Profile in NY Times!!!
The good, the bad, and the mention of our retarded Jackson Five photoshop creation (see below on April 8), it's all there in the Cornelia Dean NY Times profile of the good Doctor Jackson. Its a pretty accurate picture of the man -- huge ego, domineering personality, brilliant speaker, very, very solid and highly respected scientist.
BUT there is one unfortunate quote of Ira Rubinoff claiming Jeremy is "intolerant of colleagues who don't see things the way he does." That is simply incorrect.
What he definitely is, is always desperately in pursuit of people who don't agree with him so he can have a good, well-humored argument. But to use the term "intolerant" (which in this day and age is most commonly used in discussions of racism or supremacy, i.e. the Museum of Intolerance) is very unfair and again, simply wrong.
Three years of working with him and I'm still his biggest fan
