It is always nice to meet someone in real life with whom one has been pleasantly interacting by email or phone. The other week I met scientist and blogger Attila Csordas when he dropped into our office on his way back to New Orleans after a conference in Cambridge. (Those familiar with London geography or indeed past posts on this blog featuring bus stops and exploding building sites will know that the Nature offices are alongside platform 1 of Kings Cross station, which is also the terminus for trains from Cambridge.) Attila has written up the first part of his visit to us in this photographic post: Visiting the Nature Headquarters, part 1: the internal Nurture blog « Pimm - Partial immortalization.
I like the way that not only did Attila uncover the "secret" of our internal blog, Nurture, but he persuaded its keeper to let him post on his blog (Partial Immortalization) its first-ever post. I was quite surprised to see which words were largest in Nurture's tag cloud, and which missing altogether (also on Partial Immortalization). There are more installments of Attila's visit to come....
Fascinating. My brother is an ethnobotanist at Tulane (in the anthropology dept.); I will have to ask him if he knows Dr. Csordas.
Hey, that's a neat old Victorian Bldg. you're in, too, Maxine.
