Thanks for the positive feedback everyone. It's nerve jangling putting these videos out, I am very pleased that people enjoy them.
The job that you really want is your professor's job... But he is still alive... Damn... I rofled.
I just bingewatched videos about you and I feel just happy seeing how you grew and what you experienced :) Thank you for doing this.
I'm sure Gauss would understand what computers are if you explained it mathematically!
Lol PhD straight to Max Planck Institute. This dude must be primo
Not to take anything from his accomplishments, but it may well have been partially due to them needing someone with his specific expertise
Tetris mastery?
+Dimitsas Markos looool
thats how it works. Remember Einstein couldnt really get a proper job in Physics until he published his 3 brilliant papers in 1905. Timing and the topic of your PhD is critical for your first post doctoral positions
The last video James was in was 4 years ago?! Woah, time flies. I'm so glad he's had the chance to continue to work in Science. Congratulations on having a baby too.
These are my favourite videos on this channel. Its real life.
Goes from PhD to Max Planck, gets a job working with AI, doesn't know anything about AI but "I'm quite a good programmer" :)) no kidding, he must be a genius.
got to meet him and he said he got 100% in every one of his PhD exams
What a nerd ;)
is this true or are you just making this up
I don't think it works like that
+hakkihan tunbak not joking got to meet him at a research placement I did a few weeks ago
You only do one exam for a PhD...
Realizing Dr Clewett is in the video, instantly thinking about his stage fright before his Viva and smiling at the memory of his Tetris videos :D
I didn't see any singing bananas in this video.
Oh my bad. I was watching some numberphile vids earlier today which may explain my mistake :)
No worries mate. I just saw a good opportunity for a seemingly non sequitur comment and had to post it.
:)

you're the real MVP :D
Duuuude, Here you are!. You're likable. I vote you stay!.
Yay, James is back on a Brady vid!!
Hello James. Remember that guy you played Tetris (Atari) against at the Classic Gaming Expo '99? I remember it like it was yesterday. :) I see you're still playing and likewise, I haven't stopped either. I have since lost my WR on the Atari Tetris a few years back, and haven't tried to get it back due to how obscure the game is these days, unless you play it on MAME of course. It's just not the same though. Although some have adjusted to the emulated version and have score close to 4M which is an incredible score in of itself. More than twice the WR on the arcade version. Congrats on accomplishing your PhD in Physics! It's hard to believe when we duked it out on Tetris that weekend, that was almost 20 years ago already!! :) Take care, - Stephen -
It's great to see an update, thanks for sharing!
I've missed videos with James. He is awesome. :)
Oh wow, congrats on everything James!
Cool to see how he's been coming along
I felt this way when I went to Oxford yesterday. I saw Edmond Halley's house and the place he went to college at, and I walked the paths he probably walked. It felt very inspiring because Mr. Halley is my hero.

I agree, Halley is such a legend.
Fucking magnets! How do they work?
Eyyy
Ashens reference, I'm happy
I enjoyed the update from Dr. Clewett. Congratulaions on the baby. :)
German here, I am glad James enjoyed it here and obviously had a very inspirational time :)
+
This was great, thanks for being so candid, what a wonderful thing it must be to do what you love and not for the pursuit of money.
James is really inspiring! It's nice in a way to hear someone actually speak about his carreer and how passionate he is about it. I'm studying physics at the moment, and I hope I can someday be where this guy is right now.
such an inspirational person.
James, you're awesome!
Happy to see how well he's doing. Been a while. Good on you James.
That method of going over the problem by explaining it (to an inanimate object) actually has a name in programming: "Rubber duck debugging" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging
For the first couple of minutes of this video I thought James had died and literally gone to "Physics Heaven;" I couldn't be happier that I was wrong. Keep on doing research and thanks for the update!
Love this videos of James, seeing his progress over the years. He just seems like such a likeable person :)
when I was at university in bristol I lived over the road from paul dirac's house and despite being a biologist Ive always had a fascination for the revolutions in physics a century ago because it must have been such an incredible time with the whole concept of reality been re-written by all those semi-legendary names, schrodinger, rutherford, planck, bohr, lorentz, einstein, dirac, heisenberg, pauli &co so it was strange to walk past where he grew up and think how some of that craziness originated right where I was
Glad to see a follow up video. It's been years.
James is one of my favorite guests on this channel, and Copeland.
Give James a playlist of his own!
Today is my birthday! Thank you Brady for giving me this present! :) I really enjoy watching James and learning about the not so ordinary life of a scientist finding his way in life!
more frequent updates would be welcome !
"The job that you really want is your professor's job, but he's still alive!" LOL
Great to see James again!
James is back!! we love you man!
Best of luck with your work, im sure great things will come to such a smart and passionate dude.
Also Brady never stop bugging James for more content, we cant get enough of him.
I am a huge fan of James so this was a very welcome surprise today. :-)
I think in some of us, we know James even without meeting him and there is a little of him in us and a little of us in him. Pretty cool. Glad to see he is sussing this all out and he is doing well.
Please Brady, keep us informed on James as time goes on. Maybe a little on the side collab with the Nottingham folks or something??
Great vid! He's a good talker. I hope to see more vids of James!
I love listening to James. He always speaks so passionately and honestly; very inspiring.
Welcome back James! Looking forward to more videos with you!
7:18 "I've been doing a little bit of work consulting just to pay bills"
Finally!
James Clewett is my second favorite person I only know through watching on a screen.
The first? Norm MacDonald of course.
James, we wanna see you again!!
welcome back, I hope to see more of you on this channel
I'm not German, but if I remember correctly from school, "Kann ich ein Eis bitte haben?" Should get you an ice cream. Good luck.
ChannelRalph It can't just be me that thought that was a troll but googled it to realise it's true lol.
Ich möchte ein eis haben bitte?
I want more James
i would exchange the words, you seem to be always unsatisfied with yours answers but indeed happy that you can keep investigating
He is back, I love it!
Awsome James ! Looking forward to more vids !
Glad to see James is doing well.
"...the job that you really want is your professor's job, but he's still alive." I mean, there's only one option here, right? ...Right?
Yes, wait for a vacancy.
talking to gauss .... isn't that the same as rubber ducky debugging?
Same principle, yes.
absolutely
No, it's much better :p
That's a happy scientist!
He's so humble!!
He's so genuine
Keep up the great work!
Boom! Tetris for James
@8:51 Poor James will never be happy... To paraphrase the late Sir Terry Pratchett - "It's questions and answers all the way down, mate...."
So happy to see him. :)
Wow. Working hard after getting PHd to pay the bills. how about the Brady Harannfellowshi? At Nottingham?
Those patterns, that's Turings equation of attractors and inhibitors
Welcome back.
This talk reminded me of the the book, The Glass Bead Game.
+
It's called en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging =)
I'm sure Gauss would understand what computers are if you explained it mathematically!
Holy shit! Finally.
He's back!!!!
I want to go to gottinghim one day....
I loved this video!
ive miss him
BRADY, is there somewhere I can watch James' full PhD interview that he recorded??
Canestan will sort out the itchiness.
Want to hear more about those magnets!
Brady when u reach 100k subs on this channel, will u get another silver play button?
Very cool!
ICP knew what they were talking about
The title made me think he was dead.
Best person ever
JAMESSSSSSS
more videos with james!
I had been wondering lately what happened to James' presence on these channels.
well guess the job was better than boxing quiches
Permanent magnets, how do they work?
that is one of the derpiest babies i have ever seen
STFU ...
he's rite doe, rich
Geeks are just the best people
SpaceBaby.
This is the way physicists are getting closer and closer to God.
Thanks for the video but, perhaps, just a bit discombobulated? Best of luck!
he named his son gauss?
probably karl
My idea of Heaven, where common sense reigns supreme, and no school shooting b.s.
But does he still play tetris???
5:06 ''He's gorgeous'' ... No.
I wholeheartedly disagree ;)
How old is James?
what a nerd hehe
>China
>Taiwan
/controversial/
First?
Great job, mate
Well done! :) Gonna put that in your CV, aren't u?
***** Yup, very proud of it, and rightfully so! Years of hard work finally came to fruition :P
I'm sorry man, but to me this all sounds sooooo lame. And I study physics...
Damn this dude is so adorable! I really hope he finds his place in academia because he deserves it! Not just on merit but because he's obviously such a lovely human.
