Second, yes I have.
How much you want to bet he isn't wearing a greasy t-shirt under his jacket?
I just gave a Shifman look-a-like $10 as he sat under a railroad bridge in Chicago just a week ago.
Third, despite the hair Einstein is well groomed. Shifman's baldness isn't the issue, his sloppiness in an official photo is. Especially since he's wasting money getting it wrong.
Falkowski supplied that photo himself. It's his personal "official photo". He doesn't look like he's serious about his taxpayer subsidized stint at CERN.
Dear Taxpayer, Thanks for all the free money to hang out in Geneva. Europe is a blast, dudes. The trains are cheap on the student pass, chicks galore and they serve beer by the liter stein!. Awesome!!!
His photo makes his comment on the future of his profession especially rich: Falkowski says, the field will undergo a slow decay: The number of jobs in particle physics will steadily decrease, and particle physicists will die out naturally." He'd not survive in a normal competitive system.
Last, somebody who hangs out around super colliders on the taxpayer's dime is as bad as a welfare queen in front of a big screen TV. What have he or Shifman produced to make the world a better place?
BTW, if you're Shifman or Falkowski no harm meant.

Dude, I'm a cook. The closest I get to science is H6C2O (arrange that to suit yourself).
If you think physicists are a mess, you should see 'em after closing and they hang out with the cooks. ;)
