Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The average American adult today knows less about biology than did his ancestor who lived two hundred years ago. Pulitzer prize-winning science writer Natalie Angier explains why basic scientific literacy has declined so dramatically, and gives us a primer on what we all need to know to understand research into issues like global warming, stem cells, and avian flu.
Guests
- Natalie Angier New York Times Science Writer; and author of "The Canon: A Whiligig Tour of the Beautiful Basics of Science" (Houghton Mifflin)
