Making out with Chameleons

[Chris Anderson]

As a lot of you may have seen from a recent thread (https://www.chameleonforums.com/chameleons-possess-weatherproof-ballistic-tongues-37725/), I had a paper come out this week on some of my research on feeding in chameleons. It got a lot of press from all over the world including the BBC, NPR, MSNBC, Yahoo! News, Scientific American, New Scientist Magazine, Discovery News, and many more. Of all those articles, however, I think being made fun of by Craig Ferguson from the Late Late Show may have been the best: http://www.cbs.com/late_night/late_late_show/video/?pid=2rUH5_p316nyRpFpcy_OdbwwSGrVy2qU&nrd=1

Dude, that is awesome! Major props Chris. You can see your name right at the beginning of the article.

Quit making out with lizards!!

hehee just watched it, pretty funny!

 

[Kent67]

Lonely scientists making out with lizards, huh? Craig's just jealous! 'Grats!

 

[Motherlode Chameleon]

Way cool Chris!

I once had a brief chat with Howard Stern on the radio a while ago.

 

[Dave Weldon]

Howdy Chris,

Neat! Now you'll have to leverage that up to an appearance on Jay Leno's show . Then you'll know you've really hit the big time .

 

[Brad Ramsey]

Congratulations on the attention your research is getting!
Concerning making out with lizards .... I wish I had something clever to say.

Very very cool...Congratulations seem inadequate, but I have nothing that can compare to making out with a lizard so....

I particularly loved that the only name I could make out in the brief flash of the article was yours.

Really...very neat and I agree with you that Colin Ferguson is the coolest person to reference you so far...it would take Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert to top it...(Leno is soooo not as cool as Colin)

Hey we now have fame on the forum, way to go Chris. Do your nights really get that lonely? Hard to believe that of a good looking guy.

 

[Vegas Chad]

That is so cool Chris. Great great work.

 

[eisentrauti]

Does this guy not even have a real audience ? Poor lil comedian

 

[WelshOneEmma]

Brilliant, just absolutely brilliant! Both the research and the mention. I would be so chuffed it that were me!

 

[bigcappa]

Wow to funny, thanks for the video, I love Craig and I happened to miss that night! Congrats Chris!

 

[drewtt]

Awesome, Chris. Major congrats!!

I wonder if Craig Ferguson's plugs are the reason why PNAS has such a whopping eigenfactor score...
