ToP Dab needed, still?

Without addressing whether the other UC-Berkeley optics physicist Richard Muller needs a WP bio, note the similarities (emphasis added by Jerzy•t):

Biography: Richard S. Muller

Richard Muller earned the degree of Mechanical Engineer at Stevens Institute of Technology in 1955. He then studied under Hughes and NSF Fellowships at the California Institute of Technology and was awarded an MS/EE in 1957 and a PhD (EE and Physics) in 1962. He was employed as a Member of the Technical Staff at Hughes Aircraft Company and taught at the University of Southern California before joining the faculty at the University of California, Berkeley where he concentrated his research on the physics of integrated-circuit devices. Together with Dr. T.I. Kamins of Hewlett-Packard Company, Dr Muller first published "Device Electronics for Integrated Circuits" in 1977. A 3rd edition of this book (which has been translated into five languages) was published in 2003. In the late 1970s, Muller began research in the area now known as MEMS and, together with Professor R.M. White, he founded the Berkeley Sensor & Actuator Center in 1986. He wrote the proposal to establish IEEE/ASME Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems (JMEMS) and is now the Editor-in-Chief of this journal. A member of the US National Academy of Engineering and an IEEE Life Fellow, Muller received a career MEMS Award at TRANSDUCERS '97 as well as the IEEE Brunetti Award (1998 with R.T. Howe), NATO and Fulbright Professorships, and a von Humboldt Research Award at TU Berlin in 1994. Other Awards include the Berkeley Citation and the Renaissance Award from Stevens Institute of Technology, where he served as Trustee 1996-2005. He has been a member of the National Materials Advisory Board and served on several National Research Council study panels as well as chairing a 1997 panel for which he acted as editor of a widely distributed report on the promises and challenges of MEMS. His present research focus is on optical MEMS.

What i am suggesting is even that the info i added at their Dab is not sufficient to rule out confusion, and the article may need a ToP Dab. (BTW, "born c. 1930" is based on typically 5-year eng'g degrees around the 1950's: finishing HS at 18 suggests EE at 25, and thus 1930 most likely YOB.)

Better Picture?

I think this would be a much better picture to use:

Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature

Should certainly be mentioned prominently. MikeR613 (talk) 16:24, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of Image

I have removed one image from the article for three reasons:

1) It interrupts the flow of the text, causing formatting issues.
2) It contributes little of value to the article.
3) There is too little text to sustain three images.

I have reproduced the image below. --Baekken (talk) 01:06, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A lesson with Richard Muller

Add "I Stick to Science": Why Richard A. Muller wouldn't tell House climate skeptics what they wanted to hear by Michael D. Lemonick May 25, 2011 Scientific American

Add "I Stick to Science": Why Richard A. Muller wouldn't tell House climate skeptics what they wanted to hear by Michael D. Lemonick (Michael Lemonick) May 25, 2011 Scientific American. 99.181.158.51 (talk) 03:29, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Muller called Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth a pack of half-truths and asserted that measurements of global temperature rises are deeply flawed, insisting that many of those who warn of climate change have sold the public a bill of goods.

Also in the article are reference to skeptics Anthony Watts (blogger) (of Watts Up With That?) and Stephen McIntyre (of the Climate Audit), also James Hansen (of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Ralph M. Hall (Chairman of the United States House Committee on Science, Space and Technology). 99.181.149.175 (talk) 04:29, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
