Our news team likes to talk to researchers, but we rarely have time for more than "just the facts." It is therefore a pleasure to be able to sit down occasionally with some of the most respected scientists and provocative thinkers in schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders. We ask them to opine on the state of the field, and to offer hypotheses to test. We want to know about their plans and hopes for the future, and perhaps these conversations will fuel our readers' plans and hopes for finding effective treatments for schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders.

We also ask our interview subjects to extend the discussion to questions and comments submitted by readers of SRF Interviews, so we invite—indeed, urge—you to write in! We also very much welcome suggestions for future interview subjects.
