Thanks for this engaging dialogue. I got some good ideas about a story I have been working out. As I listened to your voices discussing science, I felt some of the missing pieces start to fall into place.

Love this conversation! I’m not an actual scientist, but a passionate science reader/follower and a life-long naturalist and fiction/sci fiction writer, so definitely relate to all your topics and insights. Looking forward to all your dialogues.Thank you!
