    An article by David Secko for which I was interviewed:

    ``Few scientists have caught on to the Internet's power of posting, commenting, and debating ? where are the rest?

    ``In June, Derek Lowe got some data. Not just any data, but promising results on a new drug. An eight-year veteran of the drug discovery pipeline, Lowe had been waiting three years for this moment. As with most scientists reaching a point of experimental insight, Lowe says, `I hardly know what to do with myself.' However, he's not saying this to his boss or colleagues. He's saying it to the whole world over the Internet.''

I really enjoyed your interview! I am trying to keep an updated blog on genetics myself, but it's not an easy task... getting students and colleagues to comment on posted opinions and news is harder than getting them into scientific seminars and lectures. How did your "peers" react to the "The Scientist" article? I am curious... cheers, ana www.viagene.blogspot.com (content in portuguese only :()
