A few years ago I read a book about bioscientist Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues who discovered a powerful way to modify genes (Code Breaker, by Walter Isaacson). It reads like a detective mystery & is as compelling. It shows how scientists cooperate to expand knowledge, and compete for credit for their successes in doing so. Have you read the book? Have any thoughts on it?
Lois McMaster Bujold
No, though I've read a handful of others on the topic. Always fascinating. With pop sci, I've come to realize, any book more than 10 years old will be out of date; with bio sci, make that ten months.

Heading to Dublin for WorldCon 2019 tomorrow with questions all planned for your kaffeeklatsch, only to discover you won't be there! So glad to see there's an alternative that you're active on, so I can ask my questions here instead. Since I'm character-limited, I'll split them into multiples. First question: do you have a page where you publish your con schedule, or does one have to dig through your blog?
