Robert May, [Australian] former UK chief scientist and chaos theory pioneer, dies aged 84
https://www.theguardian.com/scie…
"“He didn’t go for titles very much. He was Lord May, Baron of Oxford but he was very unpretentious. Quite a lot of my stories about him are quite rude, in fact. He used to swear a lot.
“He told me one night at dinner that he was the first person in the history of the Royal Society to get a swear word in the minutes. He said not even Isaac Newton achieved that.”"
Gotta love Aussies! :.)
