National Public Radio's veteran science correspondent Ira Flatow hosts this weekly show, which features the leading authorities in the world of science on topics as diverse as brain research, deep sea exploration, fusion, and malaria. The show's ingenuity, combined with a knack for talking about science in a casual and accessible way, makes it one of broadcasting's brightest gems. Science Friday was the first national call-in program to broadcast live over the Internet. True to form, the show rarely misses an opportunity to present science news and information in an inventive way.
