language geekery

Yay for Dr. Cullen! She sounds great.

This is a random thing I noticed: "troll" appears in the interview when it should be, perhaps, trawl. She is trawling for information. ...and troll the scientific journals like Science, Nature and Geophysical Research Letters. But I've seen it used this way before, so...

You use "troll" to indicate internet trolls? Which is the proper usage according to OED.

OK, language geekery over.
