I'm going to be off at Worldcon for the next several days, but fear not, the blog will still be active. I have scheduled non-academic scientist interviews to post every weekday while I'm gone. There are two posts each for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday, so you'll have plenty of non-traditional career paths to consider.
This taps out my stock of interview responses. I am happy to continue doing these, though, as long as people are willing to volunteer. So, if you've got a science degree and an interesting job, drop me a line.
