Seed Cover Story; NPR Podcast; Minnesota Smackdown

While Sheril continues to blog up a storm, I merely have a few updates between my various plane flights....the latest of which, today, takes me to Minnesota for the big debate (tomorrow night) between Mooney-Nisbet and Laden-Myers. More on that when I get a second, but first, some updates:

i-74d99b73b50c61a1ca9856db3de4b915-DrPresident.jpg The latest issue of Seed is out, and I have the cover story. While you can't read the piece online, here's the gist: It's a manifesto for why the next president of the United States, whoever it is, had better get science. I'm hoping this cover story will prompt a lot of discussion, and this won't be the last we have to say about it here on the blog.

Meanwhile, NPR's new Book Tour feature just did a podcast about Storm World, which is based on a recording of a July talk I did at D.C.'s famed bookstore Politics & Prose. Check it out. There are some cool shorter audio clips that NPR has pulled out, including one with this title: "The story of an English major with a love for science." Blush.

Anyway, I can't link directly to the audio, but it's all here.

And now, I'm off to prepare for the melee in Minneapolis....

Will there be video of each smackdown? Will there be people hit over the head by chairs? A commentary? I so want to see this on TV.
