Sorry Craig while Ed Witten might be your hero, I prefer Lisa any day. She has the brains and the looks.

Hmm .. not bad looking from the 'Time' photo .. 48 years old, eh ?
Marital status ??? … unknown … other vitals ?? .. unknown
Photo in Wiki .. tough looking !! .. wouldn't wanna wrangle with her on topics discussed here!
Love to read her book. A 'must get', by the sound of it !
Graduated with Brian Greene, eh ??

Ok.. Randall's Hamster it is ! ..for a day ..maybe more after I've read her book !

Cheers
PS: The time photo is 3 years old !! I've always kind of favoured Carolyn Porco .. she's got a sense of humour and is more of a dreamer, though … hmm …decisions, decisions ..!
