What do your dentist colleagues think of your narwhal research?
They are somewhere between amazed and a little befuddled that someone would actually do this. If I were studying whales in the tropics, that would probably be easier for them to identify with. But the fact that I'm sitting out on an ice floe with an Inuit hunter in 110-kilometre-an-hour winds, and the ice that I'm camped on could break off into the ocean, and I'm doing this with the hope of seeing a whale that might not appear - I think most people would say that's definitely not me.

You note he's a prof at Harvard... they are a weird bunch. Apparently they also need a "Fun Czar" to show them how to have fun: http://www.cnn.com/2005/EDUCATION/01/13/life.harvard.reut/index.html
There was also an article last year in the Harvard Crimson about the "cult of Yale" and why Yalies are so much happier than Havard students (perhaps explaining why they need a fun czar). Yet more proof that Yale really is better than Havard.
In my limited (and carefully filtered) experience, Yalies definitely do not need a fun czar.
