      Hi again, Gladiator

      Yeah. I’ve been to Brazil and India recently.

      Here’s the thing: I don’t feel right about it. I’m promoting green energy generation and better use of earth’s resources, but every time I fly home to visit my family in the US, I’ve used my entire quota of carbon for the year! It’s hard for me to balance what I need to do for my career, vacation, family with what I think is ethically very important.

      Hi
      I don’t very often, I depends a lot on what sort of science you do.

      Not as much as I would like but I have been to Hawaii, France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland and Italy for my ‘sciencey’ activities. I guess yes! I am planning to do more.
