Science Thursday on TWIT – April 22, 2010
Announcements!
Today (and most Thursdays) on TWiT I host Science Thursday…
It starts at 2pm PT with Maxwell’s House starring Ray Maxwell. Ray delves into the world of aviation, and today’s show will focus on Ash Clouds, Aero Cars, and being a Test Pilot.
From 3:30 – 4:30pm PT, you can catch Dr. Kiki’s Science Hour. Today I interview Rebecca Skloot, author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, about her book, the science of cells, and finding such an amazing story.
Then from 5-5:30pm PT, Roz Rows the Pacific will find Roz Savage wherever she is in the Southern Pacific Ocean to discuss her journey and the concept of sustainability. Our guest will be Marcus Eriksen of the 5Gyres project.
Happy Earth Day, everyone. May you live the life you love, and may that love give back to the planet.
I hope you can join in the fun on TWiT.tv.

Well, either you or your scientist friends.
The Scientist Magazine just announced “The Labbies”, a competition to find:
scientists and scientific laboratories that show real tech savvy in presenting their research to the wider world. Send us your coolest videos, neatest lab websites, sharpest blogs, most user-friendly interactive multimedia, and any other technologically-advanced presentations you use to communicate your science.
I’m one of several judges who will be rating your cool-factor, “including the father of the infographic Nigel Holmes, … Jeffrey Segall of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, NY, and David Kirby of the University of Manchester.”
I am really excited to see what scientists are doing in the multimedia and transmedia spaces these days. It’s no longer a flat website world. It’s an immersive universe of information and communication. Scientists need to understand this change and progress with it in order to keep up with cultural demands.
So, whatchya got?

Just a quick note that the TWIT Network recently released Dr. Kiki’s Science Hour in video on iTunes!
That means you can now watch Dr. Kiki’s Science Hour live, or subscribe to either an audio or video version of the show, OR watch it whenever you like on YouTube.
Isn’t choice a wonderful thing?

Dear TWIS Minions,
This Week in Science is making a few changes.
After 10 years of broadcasting live just about every Tuesday morning from KDVS 90.3 FM in Davis, CA, TWIS is making a move.
As of 8:00 pm PT on Monday, April 12th, 2010, TWIS will broadcast live on Leo Laporte’s This Week in Tech Network.
It only seems natural that the TWI’s join forces as many people have been confused by the separate worlds of TWIS and TWIT for years anyway.
So, from April 12th onward TWIS will be live in video format on TWIT every Monday night at 8pm PT.
TWIS will continue to exist on KDVS, but as a pre-recorded show only.
You will also be able to continue to subscribe to and download TWIS as an audio rss feed without making any changes. We are keeping the feed address the same.
We think that the new format and platform will work together to make TWIS better than ever, and we’ll keep bringing you quality science infotainment.
Thanks for listening. We look forward to seeing you at live.twit.tv on Monday nights.
It’s all in your head,
–kirsten and Justin
