Introducing…
My name is Geeta Dayal and I’m the incoming blogger-in-chief for Pop!Tech. It’s good to be here. One of the many things I like about Pop!Tech is that it’s so interdisciplinary.
When I was a teenager, I spent a lot of time hanging out with scientists in research labs. I wasn’t just interested in the nuts and bolts of their experiments; I wanted to understand the impact of what they did. When I was 17, I went to MIT. After I graduated, I realized that I didn’t want to be a scientist for a living; what I really wanted to do was to understand how science and technology interacted with culture, and with the world at large. I worked on science documentaries for PBS, and went to grad school for journalism. In the years since, I’ve worked as a newspaper editor, a biology lecturer, an arts correspondent, a technology researcher, and many other things. I’ve gotten to travel a lot, and I’ve met many fascinating people along the way, including many former and current Pop!Tech speakers. I’m even writing a book about one of them–the musician and artist Brian Eno.
In the weeks to come, I’ll be interviewing many of these folks, and posting the interviews on this blog. Watch this space!
