Just a quick note to say that I'll be at the NYU Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute this coming Monday, at 6 PM, in conversation with Robert Lee Hotz. We'll be talking about science journalism, blogging, aha moments, the prefrontal cortex, etc. It's free and open to the public.
Note: Thanks to everyone who pointed out my mistake! The conversation begins at 6 PM, not 7 PM.
