Hello, My name is Hari Sridhar and I'm a post-doctoral researcher at the Centre for Ecological Sciences, Indian Institute of Science. Since early 2016, I have been conducting a series of interviews of ecologists and evolutionary biologists. In each interview, I revisit an old "well-known" paper in ecology/evolution/behavior, with the primary author, to find out about 1. the making of the paper 2. the impact the paper had on the author's career and research and 3. the author's current stand on what was said in the paper. The idea is to construct, what one might call, 'shadow papers', which capture the past and future of the original published articles. The interviews are now all available at https://reflectionsonpaperspast. wordpress.com/
This is an ongoing project and I will post new interviews as and when they are ready. Thank you. Regards, Hari
