How to think about Science

I recently dis­cov­ered a series of pod­casts from CBC Radio that I wanted to rec­om­mend: How to think about Sci­ence —  RSS Feed

So far there are eleven episodes, each fea­tur­ing an engag­ing inter­view with a con­tem­po­rary fig­ure in sci­ence, and their usu­ally con­tro­ver­sial ideas. Hosted by David Cay­ley, the reg­u­lar voice of another excel­lent CBC pro­gram enti­tled Ideas (RSS Feed), it pro­vides a rich and nuanced back­ground on the crises and tri­umphs in cur­rent sci­en­tific thinking.

Be sure to take a look at all of CBC’s pod­casts. They have a large selec­tion of top­i­cal pro­grams and pro­vide a model for access and exchange of infor­ma­tion that a lot of other broad­cast­ers would do well to emulate.
