I survived an SICB media panel

By pharyngula on January 5, 2007.

Yes, I did, although it was tough going. Grrl Scientist was more personable than I was, and Lynch was always sniping at me cruelly. I had to be the cranky old guy up there.

Kevin in China #20 - turtles and crocs and Steve Irwin
Kevin has only 5 more days in China so, apart from rain, various farewell dinners are keeping him too busy to do much collecting. Except, this time, it is a different kind of herping altogether, watching the alligators at a farm and diving for turtles. Anhui 4 September My last complete day in…

Yes, I will take 3 pints of Guiness please...Oh well, I would buy them for you 3 if I were there.

Why can't the interested just look for three people with the name tags 'Lynch', 'Hedwig', and 'Squid'?

so when will you post the audio podcast of the panel?
