An Interview with Carl Zimmer
Talking to journalist Carl Zimmer is a bit science-fiction thriller—the conversation can range from DIY biotechnologists to bird flu to the mass die-off of bees. Or in our case, it was biology and space exploration. When we talked to him on April 5, Mars colonization and the future of scientific communication were the topic of the day.

1. Craft a story
2. Accept you can't include every detail
3. Know your audience
