Sue asked me to pass this on:
Dear Vincent - reclusive non-list-joiner that I am, I could not resist putting you out of your misery. I caught the hair meme decades ago from neuroscientist Dave Perrott. It lay dormant until, about three years ago, I got so infuriated by being mixed up with Susan Greenfield (famous, serious, anti-drugs etc) that the memes got together and took this old body along to the hairdresser. It's been many colours (often according to my daughter's whim and mainly because they fade so quickly) but is now bright pink all over (the interview for Tuesday's TV show predated the pink and the new Scientist 'I'm giving up the paranormal' article). Yes, I did tell them all about memes but am not really surpised they chose bits without - still if the idea of infectious ideas gets out, there is a better niche for the meme word to leap into when people meet it; as they will. The meme meme is certainly making me work hard for it.
Sue.
