What a curious comment: remarking on my appearance in direct response to my report that people judge me on my appearance. No matter that you meant it as a compliment (I must assume, despite your cryptic and neutral phrasing). This may surprise you, but I'd rather be known for the output of my brain than that of my follicles.

Physicists are renowned for their hair, but why stop there.


Consider it an arched eyebrow, not offense.
