Jeffrey C. Hall, a 72-year-old retired geneticist and chronobiologist, was just awarded the Nobel Prize with two other scientists for their discoveries about the body’s biological clock.

Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young also received the award for their contribution, but the real story is how chill Hall seems after ten years of retirement. The ‘Brawndo‘ hat, the unkempt appearance and the cabin on the edge of civilization all point to a man who gives zero fucks after leaving the workforce a decade ago.

Clearly, this guy is a genius, and he has some really insightful comments about presenting scientific research in a way that doesn’t put people to sleep. The entire interview is classic, down to the fade away sequence of Hall chiefing a cigarette as they leave his property. Legend.
