\"If it gets people interested in the Department of Energy, that's good,\" Moniz told The Boston Globe in an interview last year.
In an interview on the public radio program, \"Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me\", Moniz described his hair as \"flowy\" and \"a bit curly\" and said he's had the same hairstyle since he was a student at Stanford in the 1970's.
\"It's been described for me in the blogosphere as \"the best hair in the cabinet since 1794.\"
Despite the dozens of comedic tweets and memes about his now trending hair-style, Moniz jumped in on the fun Wednesday afternoon responding, on his twitter account.
