Science Friday
FRIDAYS AT 1 P.M. - 3 P.M. CST ON 88.3 WNIN
It's brain fun, for curious people. Each Friday, host Ira Flatow focuses on news about science, technology, health and the environment bringing an educated, balanced and lively discussion to bear on the scientific issues at hand. Panels of expert guests join in to discuss science - and to take questions from listeners during the call-in portion of the program.
