gack
I have to make a phone call and this is the last way I could think of to procrastinate. I e-mailed a scientist a week and a half ago and had convinced myself she was never going to write back, so I didn't have to actually ever talk to her or do the article about her. But she wrote back this afternoon, so now I have to call her, orchestrate a friendly chat, and decide whether she sounds interesting enough to profile. Argh. It'll be fine, I'm sure, but the anticipation is deadly.

So ... was she interesting?
Just imagine her pipetting phenol in her underwear, and then she won't seem so intimidating.
She was *totally* interesting. I am psyched for this story. I'll let you guys know when it comes out. Sophist, it concerns what I imagine to be one of your favorite topics, not that I know you or anything.
Um, and thanks for the phenol tip. I think.
Hee, I'm super duper excited to read the article! Not that I know you either. But I know J. Po and Spice, that counts, right?...
Heh. Don't hold your breath - I'm predicting a 6-month lag at the least, plus now I'm not sure the editor is going to okay it. It's got potential to be a great story, but there's one element that makes the magazine (which is not my employer - this is freelance) nervous.
