I have gone over the =ist, and there are 5 people who should be considered as finalists:

Adrian Liu
Meng Su
Aaron Englehart
Gopinath Sutendra
Ahmad Haidar

Of these, I believe there are 3 who rank at the top =nbsp;(conveniently the top three in the list above).. They are =xceptional candidates. The remaining 2 are also very good. =nbsp;l rank Gopinath higher than Ahmad, but both slightly below the =est.

Of =he remaining 3, they are all remarkable..) can see reasons to choose =ny of them.. Your comments are invited. Here are =ine:

1. Liu: =iscussing one of the most exciting upcoming fields in astronomy.. =nbsp;Clearly very accomplished. Also clearly one of the best =eachers ever.

2. Meng Su: Very diverse.. his work on black hole (with =is supervisors) garnered him great attention, and he is working on 3 of =he most exciting areas and has achieved significant international =tatus in each..

3. Aaron Englehart: working on the forefront of =rigins, an ASU grad now with Szostak (nice, but I worry if we choose =im we may be viewed as parochial), interesting lectures and good =ommunicator.

I keep shifting in which I prefer.. I think Liu and Englehart =re my favorites, but Su is great too.
