Each month we post short video interviews, blogs and related information on our focus topic. We end the month by inviting our experts in for a talk show to wrap up the discussion. Our lineup of monthly topics for spring 2012 includes:
Ethics and Pharmaceuticals - February
Cultural Heritage - March
The Future of Energy - April
*New audio podcast format!*
Check back often and feel free to submit topic requests for future shows!
Renewable energy research extends from studying sources such as water, wind, the sun, geothermal, and biomass sources such as energy crops. This show will focus on research being done on photosynthetic organisms, often referred to as algae or simply "pond scum."
TUNE IN TO THE SHOW: listen to an hour-long audio podcast program on this topic with a selection of experts. Before and after we'll post related material about the research and the topic.
As the human race continues to flourish, where will our energy come from? Hold That Thought talks to three scientists who think that algae hold an important answer to this question, as well as an economist who helps us navigate the numbers. Listen to their thoughts in this hour-long podcast.
