In Sagan's case, and as a scientist myself, the popularity was deserved, imo. What does Sapolsky think of Darwin?

He is actually still fairly frequently cited. He wasn't like, Darwin or Einstein but still a good scientist, in addition to being basically the best science communicator ever.

He's not a bad host on the new Cosmos shows though

I'm also a scientist (a geologist) and Sagan definitely was one of my inspirations for going down this road and I'm sure the same is true for countless other scientists.
Noticing your username there, Tolkien was another one of my inspirations! A love of both science and tales of adventure in the mountains tends to lead one towards the geosciences!
