What a beautiful human. I pretty much owe my career to him. I was studying engineering in undergrad, and I tool intro biology to satisfy a credit. The instructor read a passage from one of Gould's essays, and I thought it was beautiful. I then picked up Full House, which in turn led me to read every single book he published, pick up a minor in biology, and then go into biophysics as a grad career. If it's possible to love a human you've never met by proxy, he's it for me.
