Our semi-regular video hangout returns. In this episode, I'm wearing a tie, because I gave the department colloquium this week, and for psychological reasons I always dress up a bit to give talks. This was recorded under an hour after my talk, which probably explains why I'm a little more punchy than usual... I'm not sure what Rhett's excuse is.
Topics include a bunch of failed attempts to walk back an early cheap shot at computer scientists, where Rhett and I rank in terms of Google searches for our first names-- I have to go six pages deep to find myself (I'm on the first page of "Orzel" results three times, though)-- and how neither of us are able to predict Nobel Prize winners. And also some more serious stuff about writing about sciences outside your area of expertise.
We once again failed to do anything to line up a Very Special Guest, but continue to talk vaguely about how it would be a good idea. If you'd like to be a Very Special Guest, let us know...
