John TierneyThis guy always wanted to be a scientist but went into journalism because its peer-review process was a great deal easier to sneak through. Now a columnist for the Science Times section, Tierney previously wrote columns for the Op-Ed page, the Metro section and the Times Magazine.

* 2. But that's a good working theory.
That's pretty funny hurh!
