• Arquivo da coluna Loose Ends publicada nos anos 90 na revista Current Biology. O seguinte excerto, de 1997, é muito representativo do seu brilhantismo e mordacidade:

«I learnt very quickly that the only reason that would be accepted for not attending a committee meeting was that one already had a previous commitment to attend a meeting of another organization on the same day. I therefore invented a society, the Orion Society, a highly secret and very exclusive society that spawned a multitude of committees, subcommittees , working parties, evaluation groups and so on that, regrettably, had a prior claim on my attention. Soon people wanted to learn more about this club and some even decided that they would like to join. However, it was always made clear to them that applications were never entertained and that if they were deemed to qualify for membership they would be discreetly approached at the appropriate time.».
