LIVE CHAT with Professor Neil Shubin!

The exact date for the life chat will soon be set and announced. Neil leaves for the Arctic on the 27th of June so Thursday the 26th is out of the question. He requested an earlier date.

What would work for you guys? I am considering asking him to do:

Monday, June 23rd at 8:00 or 9:00 eastern

How many of you would like this date and time? I'd appreciate your flexibility on this as Neil has to prepare for the trip and we don't have a lot of other dates available.

And I sure would appreciate if MANY of you would post in this thread.

How many of you would like to attend this chat? If I don't see at least a dozen replies this chat won't be happening. You don't need to have completed the book to at least log in and be a spectator. And those of you that voted for this book and/or participated in the actual discussion...PLEASE make every effort to attend.

Live author chats are a special privilege, but they cannot happen if we don't have a decent turn out for them. We really could use a lot of members to schedule this chat into their lives and make every effort to attend.

I'll be doing a drawing and giving away at last 3 free books to 3 of the members that attend this live chat. And those that ask some good questions will win free books too.

So will you be attending?

I just emailed Neil Shubin asking him if that date and time would work. I also asked him if he needed a stowaway on this Arctic adventure. 8)

The day and time is fine with me. Barring unforeseen circumstances, I will surely be present for the chat :)

I read Your Inner Fish last week, just because I saw the message at the side of this website saying that Prof. Neil Shubin would be doing a live chat. I haven't been in a live chat with any author before, so I thought that would a good enough incentive to read this book. The book turned out to be a good read anyway.

interested in book discussion

Chris,

June 23rd at 8PM would be good for me. I could be there a little later that evening also, but no earlier.

I haven't read the book but I will make my best to attend although this may clash with my part time job.
