An interesting interview
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.
At the end of the day, simulating atoms doesn't beat working with the real things...

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.

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.

Nice job Brain.

They tried to have me "put to sleep" so I came back to return the favor.

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.

That was fun. Sorry I had to bail early.

I agree, that was fun. Only downside is I have to get up pretty early to catch it.
"The chemists are a strange class of mortals, impelled by an almost insane impulse to seek their pleasures amid smoke and
vapor, soot and flame, poisons and poverty; yet among all these evils I seem to live so sweetly that may I die if I were to change places with the
Persian king" - Johann Joachim Becher, 1635 to 1682.

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.

Sorry I missed it brother.
Is there a recorded version somewhere?

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 !
