Today I’m in Cambridge, Mass., to take part in the Cambridge Science Festival. I’ll be speaking with Ed Yong and Hillary Rosner about how blogs, Twitter, and social media are changing science writing. I’ll play the part of the old fogey who remembers the days when modems screeched.The event will be live-streamed here, starting around 7:30 pm. Hope you can join us, virtually!
