The world has changed since enterprising hominids chipped stones to use as tools. Today\u2019s scientific and technological development moves faster than a speeding maglev train.<\/p>\n

The Big Picture Science<\/i> radio show and podcast engages the public with modern science research through lively and intelligent storytelling. Science radio doesn\u2019t have to be dull. The only dry thing about our program is the humor.<\/p>\n

Big Picture Science<\/i> takes on big questions by interviewing leading researchers and weaving together their stories of discovery in a clever and off-kilter narrative style.<\/p>\n

What came before the Big Bang? How does memory work? Will our descendants be human or machine? What\u2019s the origin of humor? We ponder these questions daily \u2026 and expound on them weekly.<\/p>\n

Our one-hour radio magazine reveals science as an adventure.<\/p>\n

But wait! There\u2019s more!<\/p>\n

Are you a doubting Thomas? Good. Join us as we separate science from pseudoscience \u2013 and facts from the phony \u2013 in Skeptic Check<\/i>, our monthly episode devoted to critical thinking.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s astrology, Bigfoot, or the incessant onslaught of dubious medical claims, we tackle it all, wielding the skeptical tools of solid science.<\/p>\n
