DocBill Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 We now (us--You and Me) have our very own chatroom. There is a Java link, but for those running mIRC or similar programs, the channel is on sorcery net and is #scienceforums. Now that we have established this, we will be asking for inputs on a schedule of possible Open chats with folks in various fields of science. What we would like is to have some idea WHOM you would like to chat with. Some people require several months warning, some only a few weeks. Sooo the sooner we get started the better.

fafalone Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Click to go right there with mIRC: irc://irc.sorcery.net/scienceforums Or click "Chat" from the main menu side block on the main page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafalone Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 As far as guests, Dr. Kreiss would be great (I'm a Neurobiology major actually), and John Nash would be awesome beyond belief. And schedule... as soon as possible, if we could have 1 guest every month it would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blike Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 nights would probably be best for us all. between 7 and 9 is best for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaKiri Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Bearing in mind of course the time zone difference, both for posters and non-NA guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafalone Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Since there seems to be a tendency towards Brit time, but 7-10 GMT would work for me on weekdays. Try to avoid friday, saturday, and sunday evenings... because i never know where'll Ill be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocBill Posted March 22, 2003 Author Share Posted March 22, 2003 Originally posted by MrL_JaKiri Bearing in mind of course the time zone difference, both for posters and non-NA guests. YES! I have found that to be a slight issue. Often when folks come here to speak or to lecture, I can get them to spend an hour or so with us..as they are on "our time." Elaine Morgan had to chat with us at 4:00pm...11:00pm HER time..and she is nearly 80!! The things people will do to accomodate me. Bizzare indeed. Will see what I can do.. Bill PS: Stephen does not "do chats" for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Decatur Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 Stephens too GOOD for chats Yeah I'll be in the chat room probably all the time now. Can I get you anything Bill? Some soda water? A pillow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafalone Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 If you're referring to Stephen Hawking, why is it that he doesn't do chats? He writes books, works on equations... I'm sure he has a permanent interpreted that could type for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blike Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 I'm $ure he would for a "$mall" fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryoken Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 I think Bill is good for suplying the chat with interesting people for about a year of weekly chats... if not more. Am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudde Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 this all sounds very interesting... perhaps you could make it a good time for the Pacific time zone, since I can't be on the computer too late, parents think I need sleep for school;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafalone Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 Finding a time that's good for PST, EST, GMT, .. and i think we've got some members down under too... is a very diffuclt task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
