I don’t recall hearing of this guy before, but I just learned of his death:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Press

Frank Press (December 4, 1924 – January 29, 2020) was an American geophysicist.He was an advisor to four U.S. presidents, and later served two consecutive terms as president of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (1981–1993). He was the author of 160 scientific papers and co-author of the textbooks Earth and Understanding Earth.

Press served on the President’s Science Advisory Committee during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, and was appointed by President Richard Nixon to the National Science Board. In 1977 he was appointed President Jimmy Carter’s Science Advisor and Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, serving until 1981.

On Late Night Live Adams replayed an interview he did with Dyson, it wasn’t very good.
