Well said! My
style is best suited for discussing facts, and usually this is with other "hard" scientists. Some have an ego that
limits discussion of their opinions; most do not. But no researcher I know has an ego that limits their discussion
of "hard" scientific facts, as I have recently been asked to do in conjunction with an award. (Award notice
below):
---
James V. Kohl has been selected to receive the Ira and Harriet Reiss Theory Award for 2007 from
the Foundation for the Scientific Study of Sexuality (FSSS). The award is given annually for the best social science
article, chapter, or book published in the previous year in which theoretical explanations of human sexual attitudes
and behaviors are developed. Kohl's review: "The Mind's Eyes: Human Pheromones, Neuroscience, and Male Sexual
Preferences" was published in the Journal of Psychology & Human Sexuality, 18(4): 313-369, and concurrently
published as a book chapter in the "Handbook of the Evolution of Human Sexuality." In conjunction with the award,
Kohl is an invited plenary session speaker at the annual meeting of the Society for the Scientific Study of
Sexuality (SSSS) in November, 2007, which will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Some of you know about
the award I received for my 2001 invited review that linked neuroscience and ethology. This latest award crosses
from neuroscientific ("hard") science into social ("soft") science, and helps to extend my sphere of influence to
the soft sciences. Nevertheless, I have never pretended to understand much about the soft sciences.
