they're not
Dawkins is an evolutionary biologist
Hawking is a theoretical physicist
Tyson is a cosmologist
Prof Steve Jones is a geneticist
Al-Khalili is a theoretical physicist
Cox is a physicist

the only one who is a neuroscientist is Sam Harris. given this board's obsession with him, there's no surprise he's the only one you can think of to include in "every". but you really need to read more.

OP: Mention at least 3 neuroscientists. Fuck it, mention 1 other then Sam Harris

Dan Dennett.

Not a neuroscientist. Not even a scientist.

You're too stupid, kill yourself.
