[Leica] Totally OT: Is this our B. D. Colen?

So I'm innocently reading The Register this morning and I read about
Harvard looking for life's origins and there, at the end of the
article, found  here:

<http://www.theregister.com/2005/08/17/harvard_origin_of_life/>

is this quote from The Guardian:

Meanwhile B D Colen, a spokesman for the university, told The Guardian
that the project was not a response to any political or public debate:
"The origins of life in the universe initiative was started several
years ago before questions about the existence or non-existence of
some kind of intelligent design became part of the national debate.

"This is a long-term purely scientific exercise looking at questions
about the basic chemical molecular beginnings of life," he said. (r)

Is this our man? He's moved to Harvard??? 

The world wonders!
