- A Note from the Host (Bob Hirshon)
Just writing to say that the Science Update radio show (and podcast) was discontinued by AAAS at the end of October 2018, but I am hoping to (maybe soon?) produce new audio material, since I acquired the show IP and copyright. In the meantime, the scienceupdate.com website is redesigned and has new articles, about 5000 of the original radio shows, links to the top science magazines and journals, and other features. Thanks for listening, and stay tuned!

For one minute each day, getting just a bit of interesting science, either as news or... more
