This afternoon, I did a Twitterview (a mini-interview on Twitter) with Elizabeth Seeger, the inaugural Geballe Fellow, about her work over the past two years in EDF’s Corporate Partnerships Program.
This was an experiment, so please comment and let us know what you think about the format & style. And if there are other questions we should have asked, put those in as well and hopefully we can get Elizabeth to answer them.
The transcript of the Twitterview from Twitter Search follows (since the most recent posts are at the top, start reading from the bottom).
