I've been inspired by Anton Zuiker to resume my series of photoblogging posts, usually on Sundays.

What better way to start than with this photo, taken last week just outside the LA Zoo? I was interviewed by my new friend Liz Bonnin for a TV project that should air sometime this autumn in the UK. If you've seen her BBC One science magazine show (now airing on BBC America as well), Bang Goes the Theory, then you know that she's one of the smartest, most engaging science communicators on TV. But, as I learned last week, she's also really funny and a blast to hang out with. I'll share more details about what we filmed when I'm allowed to!
