The smartest people aren't necessarily the best teachers. In my view, the professors that aren't good at teaching should just focus on their research. There's a reason why people like Bill Nye (not a scientist) and Neil Tyson are popular with the public, and that's because they make the subject interesting and accessible to the layperson.

Warren Buffet is doing as much as he can to load the atmosphere with carbon dioxide.He'd be a very weird choice for a mentor.Why that doesn't bother Gates says something about the intelligence,awareness,and caliber of his character.
