Wired for Thought

Big Picture Science is a weekly one-hour science radio magazine and podcast.

The mission of Big Picture Science – if we choose to accept it, which we do - is to connect ideas in surprising and humorous ways to illuminate the origins and evolution of life and technology on this planet... and beyond.

From free-thinking robots… to the recipe for dark matter… to the mix-and-match genes of synthetic biology. We got it all!

Hosted by Seth Shostak and Molly Bentley.

One episode a month – Skeptic Check – is devoted to critical thinking. Are you a Doubting Thomas? If so, you'll be in good company!

If the program tickles your ears, ... why not become the "u" in support: <a href="http://radio.seti.org/pages/donate/">radio.seti.org/pages/donate</a>... and/or by urging your local radio station to air the program. After all, to air is human.
