Exhilarating listen. It is great to hear a scientist’s perspective on bridging the chasm between the lab and popular notions of science. I am glad Tim Vickers was the first scientist to be interviewed for Wikipedia Weekly. His contributions to the project have been enormous. listened to the podcast and it was quite interesting. I also thank him for mentioning the proposed between wikipedia and ACS Chemical Biology. Just a minor point regarding attribution. Starting the ACS WIKI was inaccurately attributed to me. It was actually there when I joined the ACS and mainly through the efforts of Evelyn Jabri and Sarah Tegen. All in all a great listen and a proud moment for the MCB Wikiproject. Thanks again… you guys rock!
