I'd be thrilled to include other scientists you name, perhaps taping the group in a session on metaphor at the edges of fields. INote that taped sessions already include economics, marine biology, astronomy, evolutionary biology, zoology, physics and computer science. Richard Dawkins, Walter Isaacson, David Mossberg and David Malan have all said yes to tapings. Footage for all the others is already shot and ready for post production. I am having a drink with Dean of Ed School today and can explore this with him among other topics Lisa Poetry in America for Teachers II : The Poetry of Earth, Sea, and Sky Combining study of poetry with study of science, environment and the visual arts. Materials include hundreds archival images and live footage shot in Cape Cod, Nantucket, Vermont, New York, Connecticut, Jamaica, Aspen, California, Papua New Guinea including oceans, ponds, marshes, birds, fish mountains, coral reefs, forests as well in some major collections (HMNH etc) HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025537
