Listen to me talk, about things!

I did an interview recently for a podcast called New Empire Builders (iTunes). I assure you it is not a show about global conquest, but rather a place that highlights people out to change the way things are done. I am one of those people, apparently!

I talked with Scott about what it’s like to write about science today, why I do what I do, the challenges facing us as scientists, and why we need more people engaged in science communication from both sides. If these are things that you think you might be interested in, give it a listen! I say the words “Neil deGrasse Tyson” and “Carl Sagan” in it if that helps.

Anyway, if you’ve ever wanted to be able to picture me reading to you as you peruse my blog, here’s a good reference point. For me, it’s like hearing my voice on an answering machine, only 1,000X worse.
