And why wouldn't it be? You've picked a wonderful person to write about! I will happily brag that Neil and I share a birthdate, and we all know how much that determines our fate! :P It's also shared with Sean M Carroll. Were the stars aligned on October 5th to create science communicators? Unfortunately, it's not that exciting. It happens to be the most common birthdate on the planet among civilizations that celebrate New Year's Day. Ultimately, it says more about our parents than anything else. I am paying "blog calls" to each @scio12 attendee to say "Hi" and give your blog a shoutout on twitter. I look forward to seeing you, AND having a conversation this time in just a few weeks! Great piece! And why wouldn’t it be? You’ve picked a wonderful person to write about!
