2. Why do you think this is the most prevalent genre?

3. Have the genres in your area of study changed over the course of your career?

4. How has the internet affected the publication and presentation of your work?

5. What genres are expected to be known and used for someone just starting in neuroscience?

6. Have the genres you've used change over time?

7. What has been the most effective genre you've used or seen?

8. Do you have any predictions about how the genres used in your field will change over time?
