Ok, really, it's bloggingheads.tv. Dr. Free Ride from Adventures in Ethics and Science invited me for a chat about ethics, which you can view, well, right now. Next time, I'll remember to keep the camera a bit further away.

Yesterday afternoon, I attempted to talk with the younger Free-Ride offspring about erosion. It would seem, from our conversation, that it is not just rocks that can erode -- recall of material learned in science class can also erode, as can patience.
Below is a rough transcript of our chat. I'll…
By now, you're probably aware of the Rightful Place Project, which is collecting text, images, audio, and video from scientists, engineers, and others involved in conversations about science in response to the question, What is science's rightful place?
I'm still thinking about my own response to…
Thanks again to the generosity of Free-Ride friend LO, the elder Free-Ride offspring will be partaking in this year's Kids Day at SLAC today. And, once again, the younger Free-Ride offspring is chagrined to be too young to participate. Since next year both sprogs will meet the age requirement,…
Dr. Free-Ride: What have you been learning in science?
Younger offspring: I've been learning how to make fossils, and imprints.
Dr. Free-Ride: Tell me how.
Younger offspring: Well, we got some salt dough --
Dr. Free-Ride: What's in salt dough?
Younger offspring: Flour, water, and salt.

I wondered why my new Awesome Internist didn't make me change into the paper gown before my physical! Well, HOORAY for fewer paper gowns in the world! :)
This was a great program-- I love hearing people who really love the topic discuss the ins and outs of medical ethics. This is a nice contribution to the field, accessible to patients, scientists, and healthcare providers.
So are you related to Elliot Gould? (not quite the original MASH movie, but a short lived series he was on caled "Doctor"... you reminded me of him).
It was a nice a discussion.
I forgot to mention (something about having to interrupt watching the video to go to a social function), that I really loved the added sounds and hand movement on the colonoscopy bit. Since I had one last year, I can relate (though the worst part is the prep... take the Fleet beverage, wait a while and SURPRISE!!!).
By the way, I sometimes wander over to Sciencebasedmedicine, and I noticed that you are at the place as this guy:

I assume that you guys really don't meet in the hallway, since he is an oncologist. But there must be some hanging out (you also write for Sciencebasedmedicine).
By the way, that university is also where the Society of Women Engineers archives are kept (an organization I belong to, I also sent them the scans I did of thirty years of our local history, one of the older sections). When you daughter is old enough, make sure she gets to see it as a way to introduce her to interesting roll models (there is a special "Petticoats and Sliderule" presentation):

Very interesting chat. A lot of the topics that you didn't address (but mentioned) should be included in future podcasts!
