I really enjoyed Paul Bloom when he was on. He’s a psychologist, and he’s doing some fascinating science studying our beliefs and how we form them. EDIT: I went on to the bloggingheads website and found that he was on a recent Science Saturday. I’m a bit wary because he’s debating someone from the templeton foundation, and I’m not sure how well that might fit in with the science. Well, I’m off to go watch it and decide.

David Montgomery, geomorphologist, MacArthur fellow, and author of the fantastic “Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations.” I’ve seen him lecture and I think he’d be good on bhtv.

I also think Leonard Susskind would be great on bloggingheads. I enjoyed his book and find him interesting. With lectures on itunes/youtube and a talk on fora.tv he seems willing to dedicate the time.

Harry Swinney or Mark Raizen, both at UT Austin usually give awesome talks. Not sure if they are interested in blogging though.
