Sciencemadness Discussion Board

An interesting interview

Brain&Force - 19-5-2015 at 09:36

This week on Thursday from 3:00 to 4:00 PDT (GMT-7) I will be interviewing two professors on my radio show. Topics to be discussed will include amateur chemistry, and its role in inspiring interest, societal issues regarding both amateur and professional chemistry, the steps to becoming a professor, and chemical education.

If you want to tune in, feel free to go to http://ksdt.ucsd.edu/ and listen in.

You might also be interested to know that we'll have a relatively well-known SM member on the show as well. I'm keeping it a secret, though, as to who it is.

Sounds interesting. I will have to tune in. :)

If it's Me, you should have said, as i'm having my hair done on Thursday.

It's only 1 hair though, so shouldn't take long.

Shampoo and conditioner in-one for you then.

To be fair, it's a Removal Job.

It went all funny after the S2Cl2 affair and has a weird attraction to metals as well.

That's the thing with amateur chemistry: you end up not recognising yourself in the mirror after a while.

And: people blame your maladies on your lab when in reality they are just signs of old age. :(

So it wasn't me ?

How very dare you !

Gutted. I will cry for a week, at least.

Perhaps a beer will help soothe the pain.

So, now it's ended, do you want a critique ?

DraconicAcid - 21-5-2015 at 15:24

That was fun. Sorry I had to bail early.

Volanschemia - 21-5-2015 at 15:35

I agree, that was fun. Only downside is I have to get up pretty early to catch it. ;)

Brain&Force - 21-5-2015 at 16:07

Thanks for coming! Turns out I had 3 guests on the show instead - TheAustralianScientist picked up where DraconicAcid left off.

I wouldn't mind a critique.

Zombie - 21-5-2015 at 18:00

Sorry I missed it brother.

Is there a recorded version somewhere?

aga - 21-5-2015 at 23:33

Critique :-

A bit more preparation and rehearsal would remove some nervousness, which mostly showed through as lots of 'erms' and a little bit too much of the interviewer talking.

Entertaining, good delivery and interesting - it was really very good !

I was busy with school! Can I listen somewhere?
