About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here? Let's talk. The other half of the equation is blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science, please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick.

Barb,
I appreciate your kind words, but the room setup won't be good for videotaping.
Also, from a marketing perspective, I have more to gain from honoraria for my talk than from sales of a book that is sold primarily to library reference collections.
In other words, this presentation is unlike your BookTV talk for Evil Genes, which has a price point such that on-line viewings are likely to produce sales. I'd be giving away the store, rather than enticing people to buy a good product, by putting a video online.
Invitations to present my talk elsewhere are always welcome, especially if I can combine a chance to speak to college students and faculty with a K-12 school visit or two in the same area.
Right now, I'm seeking "gigs" in connection with upcoming events in Rochester NY on Nov. 8 and King of Prussia PA on Oct. 19-20.
Anyway, thanks for giving me a chance to elaborate and, frankly, to give a more explicit sales pitch for that talk elsewhere.
