I appreciate Brian Kraus’s review of my book Real Scientists Don’t Wear Ties: When Science Meets Culture (Physics Today, March 2020, page 52). The photo spread of diverse physicists mostly not wearing ties underlines a point I made in the book: More than ever, we physicists look different from each other and dress the way we want to. However, I must correct an error Kraus made when he wrote that I retired from academia in 1990. As I stated in my book’s introduction (page xi), I continued academic research and teaching until 2011, when I retired as Charles Howard Candler Emeritus Professor of Physics after 42 years at Emory University.
