SK is being shy. She didn't tell you just how much she rocked an NPR interview yesterday with WUNC in North Carolina. Go listen here. Meanwhile, over the past few days at Yale and Northwestern, I've been fortunate to have another two great events courtesy of graduate student chapters of Scientists and Engineers for America--Yale's and Northwestern's (the latter is called the Science and Policy Action Network).Who knew that some 200 grad students (and others) on these two campuses would come out to hear about how they need to become our next generation of science emissaries to the public? And yet the energy and enthusiasm is clearly there--these scientists want to become such emissaries. They don't want to fight old culture wars, they want to change something. They want to give something back. They're science's Obama generation, and I'm thrilled to get to meet them across the country.
