How do you like the daily interviews?
I thought that would be great PR for the Conference - both with the interviewees saying nice things about it, and just showcasing what a nice bunch of people showed up this time around. Perhaps this will make more people think seriously about coming next year.
And I thought it would be nice when some of the people say nice things about science blogs, scienceblogs.com, Seed, PLoS, Open Access, me, etc.
And I thought that would be an easy way for me to get 40-something days worth of interesting posts without too much work.
But I never expected that I would enjoy reading them as much as I do. All the people are even more fascinating than I thought. Even people who I know well reveal something new I did not know before. Great fun for me!
Seven have been posted so far. I have 12 more lined up for the next 12 days, another seven I am waiting for answers from, and another 24 I still have to send questions to. I am sending them in a staggered way and publishing them in order I get them.
Just wondering if you all also enjoy reading them as much as I do?

I think they're great and most enlightening.
I've been interviewed by the media dozens of times over the last 6 years.
a) I am quite often incorrectly quoted or quoted out of context
b) Little of what I say is actually used as is the norm
It was therefore most refreshing participating in an interview where I was quoted in full and in verbatim.
I'm also enjoying reading these and looking forward to more. Judging from what's been posted thus far, you're going to end up with a rather impressive collection !!
Well, I think they're super, but then again maybe I'm biased.
Please keep them coming!
Keep them coming. I am enjoying them greatly.
I agree. They're great. Keep 'em coming.
What can I say other than I agree completely. I wouldn't normally comment just to say that, but this set of interviews is one of the best introductions to new writing that I've seen. Great idea.
