Really enjoyed your event! Shindig actually just held an event today for the Cambridge Handbook of Cognitive Science with authors Keith Frankish and Bill Ramsey. There was a bit of delay, but everything went well and both authors presented a compelling interview. Keith was broadcasting from Greece, so I am unsure as to why James Gallagher had such an issue.

I hope you do more events like this Sean!

I was one of the attendees. I think this was great (apart from the minor techinical issues). I’m strongly in favour of more such events by you and other eminent and eloquent scientists! This will go a long way to publicize important research areas in Physics, which unfortunately still have the too-abstract-for-ordinary-people stigma attached to it. Educating non-Physicists about the importance of such work will only increase public support which should ultimately translate to better funding and financial support for research.

Anyway, on my linux firefox setup I get ‘The adobe Flash Plugin has Crashed”, so you won’t get my ugly mug from the UK at the shindig – I’d be interested to know if it worked for anyone across the Atlantic from the event (ie in Europe)
