Cancer[edit]

In the most recent episode of The Science Show (May 2nd 2015), he mentioned that he was undergoing Chemotherapy. http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/scienceshow/risky-business/6437614

Humanist[edit]

Does

Williams is a humanist.^{[citation needed]}

have any significance beyond his humanist award? If he's controversial bcz of it, it may be worth covering, but it's insignificant enuf that the need for a cite on it has gone unmet for almost a year. The award need not show anything beyond

willingness to be outed, and
the organization wanting to increase its visibility -- "Humanists are all around you!" (Good for the org for that step!) -- by outing him.

Neither is notable -- tho a resulting controversy might be.
