Citizen Media

Grassroots journalism has been enabled by the internet. The potential impact of citizen media is far and wide ranging, as discussed on this episode with Dan Gilmor.

Grassroots is good, but you have to watch out for the weeds... ;)

Science Lexicon

Understanding the key concepts in science requires a knowledge of the language of science. On this program, Steve Kleinedler discussed science words every college graduate should know.

What about the ones I'm still trying to forget... ;)

WHO and Taiwan

All countries are eligible for membership into the World Health Organization (WHO) with one notable exception. On this program, Dr. Julin Tang and Dr. Sophia Yen discussed the Taiwanese efforts to join this health organization.

All this time, I thought they were trying to gain access to the TARDIS... ;)

Testosterone Factor

One little hormone can make a big difference in the life of men, especially when those levels start to drop. On this program, Dr. Shafiq Qaadri joined us to discuss the testosterone factor.

I'm still waiting for it to become a factor... ;)

SARS

SARS may have faded from our memory, but many key lessons can be learned from the outbreak of 2003. Karl Taro Greenfeld joined us on this program to talk about his firsthand experiences in China reporting this epidemic.

I'm still waiting for my firsthand experience... ;)
