Starting next week, you could be chatting live with the mot important scientists in the world right here on our humble blog.

As we’ve seen more good apps for live events, like Meebo, we’ve been thinking about presenting more live content on Wired Science. It seems like a fun next step in our WiSci 2.0 plans to provide our readers with more transparency and new ways to access science content.

Up first, we’re going to start bringing in famous (or underappreciated or particularly “Wired”) scientists and letting you all have a (lightly moderated) discussions with them.

I have a few scientists in mind who I think WiSci readers will love, but I want to make sure everyone has a say, too.

So, I’ve got one big question and one little question for the community. BIG: Which scientist would you like to see? Feel free to send me a couple names because we can bring them in pretty regularly. And small: is the West Coast lunch hour a good time?

About BeatBlogging.org

BeatBlogging.org was a grant-funded journalism project that studied how journalists used social media and other Web tools to improve beat reporting. It ran for about two years, ending in the fall of 2009.

New content is occasionally produced here by the this project's former editor Patrick Thornton. The site is still up and will remain so because many journalists and professors still use and link to the content. BeatBlogging.org offers a fascinating glimpse into the former stages of journalism and social media. Today it's expected that journalists and journalism organization use social media, but just a few years ago that wasn't the case.
