Most PhD programs teach students nothing about how to get book deals, do podcasts, give interviews, run a YouTube channel, use social media, or engage with the public in any way. As if getting cited by a hundred colleagues is worth more than reaching a million fellow citizens.

Sorry, Geoffrey, Speaking for myself, I was probably a bit too glib. Of course it's wonderful when super-geniuses can also communicate to the masses. I'm just saying, that, if I had to choose where they put their effort, I'd rather it went to the science first.
